Rosalie
Yes, the room is small…but I thought it was very comfortable and clean. Great value for price. We also loved the location.
Monique
Everything was perfect, the staff were amazing. Thank you very much to anyone!
Kye
Staff were so helpful
Warren
The staff are great and completely foreigner friendly. The beds are comfy and the bathroom is amazing! They have a variety of bathroom amenities for you to use if packing light. 10 minute taxi from Kyoto station & a load of shops within a 30 second walk.
Ying
Located in the North of Kyoto by the Nijo/Imperial Castle and between 2 subway lines. Room was small but modern. Not exactly sure how the manga comic collection fits in as this is definitely a business hotel.
Javier
Cool place with lots of Manga to read. Close to historical sites and Kyoto station.
Jacek
Staff was great , room was very clean , laundry room available. Air conditioning and heat total disaster as they didn’t translate the instruction to English. The concept of eating right in front of reception didn’t resonate with me. I felt like I was being observed if I handle eating with chopsticks well. By the way, every hotel in Tokyo will provide fork and knife.
Danielle
All was very well maintain
Stephen
The rooms were clean. Found some stains on the walls, the floors and in the bathroom, but that is acceptable.
The staff's service was pretty below average. The front desk did not speak English very well, and even made some unsavoury comments in Japanese not expecting us to speak Japanese too.
The amenities were pretty good; we made good use of the microwave there, and the coffee and water bar was great. Plus they have tons of manga, but if you don't know Japanese the selection will be VERY limited.
The room was very small, but that is expected of Japan.
The beds were pretty hard, but the cleanliness of the cleaning staff was commendable. They know how to make a bed very well!

Isao
I stayed here for 2 nights to visit my friends in Osaka and Kobe.
The room was clean and quiet!
The location was not too bad 10 mins to JR Nijo station and 5 mins to Metro Nijo-jō station.
The only complaint that I have is the location of the TV that I can not watch from the 2nd bed. Also it would be nice if there is some bath salts to relax
Overall, the price is reasonable!

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, cery convenient having laundry facilities available. The hotel is inba very walkable area. My only negative was the bed and pullo
BRUCE
Manga makes it Unique, check out what you like and read it there!
Kevin
We liked that it was somewhat close to all the places we wanted to visit in Kyoto. There is a bus that is only a few stops away from the main street of Kyoto.
We did not like the fact that our blanket had 2 dried blood spots from a previous guest.
The beds felt thin and easy to make bed noises when moving around on it.

Decent Hotel
Adriane Janine
Room not vety clean, but rhe blackout blinds helped us to sleep. Bathroom with main tap for shower and sinc in one unit does not help. Also super small.
Deborah
The hotel and staff were really good. The only disappointment for me was the quality of the bed/Mattress. I didn’t sleep well and my back was painful.
Justen
Overall was generally clean, though a couple stains on the carpet and bench. Not a bad location, but not amazing. Good food nearby. Was on the 6 floor and when they cleaned the rooms, the hallways smelled wet and like mildew with all the sheets piled in the hall. The blinds did nothing to keep out the light, so I needed to wear a sleep mask. I would stay again but I’d probably look at other options first.
Joseph
Hotel is in walking distance from the Kyoto Metro stations and the Nijo Castle. Japanese style breakfast is served each morning.
Catherine
This is a great little hotel near walkable sites. But a bit of a walk to a train station, about 15min. Clean and comfortable room but the bed was rock hard, possibly the hardest I’ve ever slept on. Also the breakfast was traditional Japanese every morning with no other options. And you could sometimes smell smoke from the smoking room at the back. I would stay again. Lovely staff.
Alireza
Far from Tokyo station takes 30 min bus or 30 min walk to station ready bad breakfast you cant chose what to eat
Karthik Reddy
Priced high for a room that wasn't worth the service or amenities or breakfast that was provided..
David Kenneth
Loved it
Alba
The room was small and the beds aren’t the most comfortable. Staff was nice and friendly. Location is the biggest highlight being very close to the castle and with tons of options for transportation.
Naim
My stay was excellent – the staff were warm and attentive, the room was spotless and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere made me feel truly welcomed. I’d be happy to return.
Michael
Very good hotel. Smaller room but perfect for a single traveller
Thi
Great stay at the hedistar! Staff super helpful and the breakfast option was very delicious. Room was spacious (booked a 2 bed room). Towels and garbages cleaned every day but the room itself isn’t turned over every day. Would stay again!
Kuanping
The lobby with all the manga to rent is perfect
Qing
Very nice place with and super affordable
Elisa
Located beside a subway station and various bus routes. As well as a 15 minute walk from a commercial area and the JR station.
Benjamin
The place to be if you like comic books/manga/etc. Room was relatively small, but exactly the size I needed as a solo traveler.

Jesse
Great for solo travelers learning Japanese
Has a library that boasts an impressive collection of new and old manga. Guests can borrow up to 10 books at a time. Almost all the manga are in Japanese. If you do not know Japanese or not learning Japanese, I feel this is a completely missed opportunity.
Breakfast is a Japanese bento box with miso soup. The breakfast is very healthy containing a hodgepodge of rice and pickled vegetables. The breakfast is low on meat, usually it's a single meatball and a slice of cooked fish.
The hotel room is tiny, so people who are taller than 6 ft or have a lot of luggage might find it difficult to navigate. The beds here are EXTREMELY firm. I like sleeping on firm beds so it was not a problem for me. Also did not like the position of the air condition which blows directly towards the bed. I had to turn if off to avoid freezing while asleep.
To rooftop space is small and not very practical for reading. It gets very sunny up there and there is no shade.
Hotel has definitely seen some better days, noticed the ceiling of my room had cracks and there is a noticeable stink when the staff are cleaning the rooms.

Good value for money
I stayed here a few nights in April 2025. I had a generally positive experience as the room was clean and orderly and everything functioned well. It was definitely value for money. Only caveat was it was particularly hot while I was staying there so had to keep the blinds down in my room during my stay and sometimes the wifi wouldn't work very well. The free breakfast was fine, but might need to let them know you are vegetarian beforehand as I only really had the miso soup at breakfast.

Clean and quiet, good for a couple night stay.
Heather
The price is reasonable for a really convenient location, near the Nijo castle and train station. Beds extremely hard, but the staff so friendly. Breakfast was traditional and good but the same every day so just be aware.
Len
Friendly, helpful staff
Good location. Friendly, helpful staff. Japanese breakfast. Hundreds if not thousands of comics/manga—mostly Japanese but small English selection. Shopping street/shotengai and two conbini practically next door. No hesitation in staying again.

Got the corner window room which was a very lucky thing for me since it seems to be always sold out. While the room is quite small, as to be expected with a lot of hotels in Japan, it is in a very good location next to Nijo Castle and Sanjo Shotengai. Not sure why this hotel charged me more tourist tax than my other stays in Kansai but it wasn't too much. Was also a great location for local bike rental drop off but be noted that the bicycle parking is in back and has no camera. Would like to return here on future trips to Kyoto. Try Gomaya Crepe-Do at the nearby shotengai for made to order sesame crepes. Very delicious!

This hotel is situated next to the famous Nijo Castle, with several bus stops and subway station just a quick stroll away. Additionally, the nearby ramen restaurant offers a deliciously chewy ramen that is definitely worth sampling.

Lovely staff, clean and comfy rooms
Lovely clean hotel with very helpful staff who were a wonderful support when helping us ship our bags overnight between Kyoto and Tokyo. Hotel also very close to metro for ease of travel elsewhere in the city and beyond.

For our first time in Kyoto, we decided to stay at the Hedistar Hotel as a cheaper alternative for one of the legs of our Japan trip. Having an evening check-in, our luggage delivered through their transport service was present when we arrived. The hotel’s lobby includes bookshelves of Japanese manga which also included an English section free for guests to borrow during their stay. Although at a good price, the beds were not as comfortable and unfortunately, the rooms were a bit small for two people’s worth of luggage. I also wished there were more pillows, but I’m sure can be requested if necessary. The shower heads also are also angled out of place, so showering was difficult to manage in preventing water from spilling out of the tub. All hygiene amenities were offered for free in the lobby for guests to take for their convenience. Luckily, there was also a FamilyMart right next door where we were able to grab quick snacks to eat. Restaurants were also within walking distance.
When it was time to travel to our next hotel, we experienced difficulty with language barrier when trying to transport our luggage through their service. CASH ONLY for luggage service! Luckily, we were able to find an ATM in the FamilyMart next door. Despite difficulty, they still tried their best to communicate their policies through Google translate which was extremely helpful in figuring out how much to pay.
Overall, it was an okay stay for the price.

Friendly reception and staff. Rooms are small, beds are a bit firm not to my liking. Overall, pleasant good stay.

We had to wait a while for someone to be at the check in counter even after pushing the bell. We did arrive an hour before 3 pm and had to leave our luggage’s with them until 3 pm, however we didn’t get our room keys until about 3:15 pm even after already waiting in the lobby. We asked for change of sheets and full service in one of our rooms and they just changed the sheets direction, didn’t change them. The rooms had an off smell.
The location is nice, rooftop is nice. They have comics in the lobby, but over all it was just OK. They provide you one tiny pillow and the mattress was very hard and space was very tight. Not complaining about the space since we have traveled throughout Japan and know this is common.
My suggestion would be to book closer to Kyoto station since that is the hub of where everything is.

The location was good and convenient, easy access to eateries, convenient stores and bus-stops. Service staff were helpful too. The only thing i was upset about was the dustiness in the room. I have very sensitive nose. Once i entered the room, i started sneezing and having stuffy nose. Kept feeling there were plenty of fibres and dust floating around. Made my face itchy too.
Angela
Very small rooms but nice hotel
Jimmy
I booked a non-smoking room, but the room smelled like an ashtray. I don't know if it was due to the AC or the guest before me smoked there. Either way, I felt sick waking up in that room. I won't go there again.
Tyler
Mattress in all rooms seem to be very firm. Almost like sleeping on the floor. Staff though were friendly and tried to resolve any issues/questions.

Great hotel in a very convenient location in Kyoto. Japanese-style breakfast was very nice!
Sharanika
This is a perfect hotel for anyone traveling solo. The staff is kind and courteous and can speak English as well as mandarin/Cantonese. There’s an option to purchase breakfast bento which I highly recommend trying. They were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions as well. Laundry cost roughly 400 yen and no need to buy any detergent. All 3 convenience stores (Lawson, 7/11, and Family Mart) are nearby.
Clarice
It was a cute and quiet hotel in walkable distance to shopping and food
Ammar
Spacious, clean and cozy rooms! Hotel also makes you feel safe, close to Nijo-Jo Castle which is a must-to-visit I think. Also there is a bus stop 1 min walk distance from front door. I recommend here. 10-15 mins bus trip to Kyoto Station.
David
I loved that I was able to get some manga to read during my down time at the hotel. The staff were great and the bento breakfast was delicious
Sheldon
Close to metro, staff were accommodating, I was comfortable and it was everything I needed. Very clean, I enjoyed the Japanese breakfast. The bed mattress is hard but I was still able to sleep. The room is also small.
David
Very friendly staff, walkable to Nijo-jo castle and the imperial Palace. Right next to the city bus stop, and easy to get to from Kyoto station.
We didn't stay long enough to use it, but the lending library of manga seemed a nice option, especially on rainy days.

This us a great property and the location is excellent with easy access to trains and buses. The only thing i would like point out is that the mattresses are extremely hard. The rest was great.
Alisha
Was a very nice hotel with great staff and amenities. The only downside was it was a bit far from kyotos main attractions and the subway but hotel was amazing.
Deanna
Conveniently located Kyoto Hotel
Convenient hotel, not too far from the station and walkable to sites with bus and subway lines close by. Very small rooms, not the most comfortable for long trips with large suitcases.
Staff are very friendly. Breakfast is Japanese breakfast which is great to experience but again, for longes stays, may get redundant.

Nice, clean, and modern hotel. They have lots of manga to read in the lobby that you.can sign out and take up to your room to read or even up to the little rooftop terrace they have if you want. Room was small and space efficient which suited me just fine because I wasn't going to Japan to live in a hotel. A complaint I have would be the mattress and pillow were super hard and uncomfortable, but after walking around all day that didn't stop me from passing out. Also that street sounds were pretty loud, but again, I had no problem falling asleep. All in all a decent little hotel and I would still stay again if I was back in the area.
Dylan
So much to do near here, really recommend renting a pedal assist bike and seeing everything you can (the covered shopping district / castle etc)
Ash A.
Lovely hotel, great staff, very clean. I especially enjoyed the lobby area where there were bookshelves full of manga, which you are able to take to your hotel room with you to read, and there are even some manga in English! 10/10
Anna
Very nice boutique hotel with excellent Japanese hotel. Interesting library of comics. Located on main road and near bus and metro. Close to Nijo jo castle.
Yomidalys
4.5/5 Excellent customer service. The staff speaks English and they offer luggage transfer services for a very reasonable price. The room is small, but it met my need. The bed is hard, but it’s actually very good for the back (better for my back than my super soft bed at home). The bathroom is compact, but the tub is actually quite large. The terrace is cute. The breakfast is Japanese style, they also have coffee and tea. The manga selection for non Japanese speakers isn’t great. The location is pretty convenient, there’s a family mart and a 7-11 just a few steps away. And a few central bus lines. Close to nijo castle and few minute bus ride from Gion. I would stay again. If the bed were soften and the room a little larger, I'd give it 5 stars.
Kevin
There's a Lawsons and a 7/11 right near the hotel so getting snacks late at night is a breeze! They have self serve tea/coffee complimentary near reception so it makes it nice to have when you're reading their manga selection. They have only 2 washer/dryer combos starting at 100yen per 30 min cycles but when we went, 1 broke down and started leaking but they got it fixed right away. The beds are really hard and hurt my back as I laid on them but all in all it's a nice hotel. Kind of a walk from the closest JR station but it's a nice location.
Verified traveler
Love that there are even a few English comic options to borrow. Rooms designed for reading and a small free drink bar.
The beds are firm. I liked it but may not be for everyone.

Hotel is good, we had a nice stay. Overall mostly clean, I did see some dirty spots on the wall. The beds are very firm (typical of Japan/Asia). Great price and decent location. Would stay again.

Great hotel and location
Room was small, but still super cozy and fuctional :) I did not need anything more. Room had everything. Quiet and easy access to most attractions. Castle 8min walk away, market and bazar 8min walking. JR train station, bus station, everything is in 10min radius
Elisabeth
Standard hotel room but with more clever design features than is typical - fold down desk, under bed storage, etc. Quiet, clean, comfortable, easy access for public transit. Staff friendly and helpful.
Tod
Amazing hotel and the staff were even better. Any questions I had the staff were able to help. Everything I was looking for.

Nice location, on the tiny side but recommended
A very nice located hotel close to bus stops and convenience stores. The rooms are on the tiny side and the beds are not that comfortable but overall I recommend it if you’re on a budget.

Very good. No complaints. Will use again if i am ever in Kyoto
Sheryl
I had a great stay. It was so nice to have a small bathtub. The room/bed was small but expected in Japan and I didn't fell like I needed anymore space. It was quiet and the staff were super helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here. I stayed as a solo female and felt super safe. The rooftop garden is also nice.
Zita In Chong
It was a cute hotel with lots of comic books to borrow! It's mostly in Japanese with a small selection in English (Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia etc). We paid extra for breakfast and it was delicious! There is an included tea and coffee bar at the lobby, and a vending machine. Price is also very reasonable. We stayed in a two twin beds room; the space by the bed is decent but the space by the washroom, in the washroom, and the counter area is a bit tight. Air conditioning works fine and the room and bed were comfortable. There is in house coin laundry but the machines are a bit weak. Within 10 min walk there is a conbini, a few restaurants, and Nijo castle. Overall it's a comfortable hotel and I would consider staying here again.

The room was small and well furnished. There was plenty of hot water for a bath around 2300. The lighting is somewhat unintuitive. You have to stick your room keycard into an illuminated slot in the room in order to turn on the lights and anything else that uses electricity. Some of the staff didn’t seem that good at English, but you can easily manage despite that. The laundromat takes coins (only 100 yen if I believe), so be prepared for that. There is a Lawson’s less than a minute away, and I believe a bus stop less than a minute away. There are also guides, maps, and amenities on the first floor. The bed is firm.
Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience and I would get a room here again!

The bathroom though small is probably made up of several smooth surface prefabricated units and assembled. The surface is easy to clean and the bathroom was very clean. The shower and drainage are also very good. Bus transportation very convenient to downtown and Gion district.
