This hotel is right across Kyoto station, within walking distance. Hotel offers all the basic amenities, like free water, coffee and tea. Breakfast options are nice, with good service. This hotel also offers a free drink at bar everyday. It is a good option for family staying with all the basic amenities. The only cons are lighting in the room and some smell.

The hotel was fantastic, clean and well organised as one would expect from any hotel in Japan. There was a free drink each evening and free coffee at breakfast. Our room had a balcony - hurrah! , which looked out onto a carpark - hurroo😭. The free drink made up for this! The bar is located next to an open air fire pit and they supply woollen throws for comfort. We sent our luggage ahead and it was received by the staff with no worries. Not sure how I’ve given one star less to be honest. Oh yes, they need to include instructions for the TV in other languages. Could not for the life of us figure out how to get English subtitles or find alternative programming. A small thing. Sorry!

Nice position, great staff and breakfast was a great delight but the free WiFi was a waste of time (download of just over 4mbps and uploads of just over 2mbps meant you couldn't really watch anything on your personal devices, just the blue ring of death)... and the provided TV had no cable TV just a handful of local channels. So anyone wanting to use some internet it was not available. When discussed with staff member I just recieved a 'there must be a lot of people on it!!!!'. Certainly not an answer for 2026. Fortunately, the hotel had live music all nights except Sunday's ...so you can sip your evenings away with some great sulty jazz style live muso's....Fix the internet problem and maybe some cable and this place would become highly recommended.

Sakura Terrace the Gallery was so good! We initially had booked a 4-night stay, but extended for an additional 3-nights! Although, the rates were different since the 3-nights added were last minute. The staff was able to let us stay in the same room, since both bookings were of the same size/ style room. Sakura \"Terrace\" is an open concept building. The hallway outside your rooms are exposed to outside elements. Our booking was March 5-12, 2026, and it was chilly. The rooms itself had Cooling, Fan, and Heater options, and we had plenty of floor space for a 19sqft twin bed room. All rooms has a balcony with a table and 2 chairs. As for amenities, espresso machine is available in the restaurant, or another coffee/ tea station by the lobby. Grind your own coffee, and drip pour old school style. Very cool imo. Free welcome-drink every day, alcoholic/ non-alcoholic. I believe it's one drink per day per guest? Great way to unwind after a long day. Free drink with live music. Plenty of space to sit on chairs or couch with fireplace. During cold season, blankets and layered jacket are provided, as well as heater fans/ toweres throughout the lobby. The Laundry and Public Bath is on the South Building. The use of washer and dryer is free of charge, but detergent is available for ¥100. While waiting for laundry, you can relax on 8 massage chairs they have, or have coffee/ herbal tea on chairs/ benches. Public bath is fairly small, and can get busy, but they have a sauna available. 10/10

The hotel layout is interesting being open air - was very cold when we were there so the heaters and fire pits were great. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious. An extra pillow would have been appreciated. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Room was solid. Pillows were too small for my taste. TV was small and had no international channel. There is not a real chair in the room. Storage space for clothes is very limited. One part of the room is lower so I almost fell down several times. The lobby is not enclosed and it has been very cold. There are a few seats by the fire but they are taken. Breakfast is really good, it costs around 20 US dollars, but if its full inside you have to wait outside the door in the freezing weather. The location is good, near the main train station, about two blocks away. At least one store is a block away from the hotel. The train station has an enormous number of stores and restaurants.

It was a nice hotel on a good location. This hotel is extremely strict. You can only do 3 nookings at a time, and because there was 8 of us, and the \"leader\" , I have to sign an agreement about their policies on big groups regarding noice policy and that because we are in a group and want to eat at their restaurant, it's not guaranteed that we weill be seated together. Understandable, since their breakfast area has limited seatings. The worst part...I have to pay 3000yen because I stained the towel,pillow case and shower curtain because I just had my hair colored prior to coming here. :( . I did not oppose, I just paid without questions. I told them about it because I don't want them charging my card by surprise and they scan passports on check- in.I miht get banned if I argue with them. Overall, our stay was ok.

CLEAN: 5/5. Room was clean and after a few days at a hotel in Tokyo, was also spacious. The balcony was a nice touch (we were on 2nd floor of the South bldg).
QUIET: 5/5. We faced a road & heard occasional street noise, but nothing that kept us awake. More importantly, we heard ZERO noise from our nextdoor or upstairs neighbors.
AMENITIES: 5/5. We didn't partake in breakfast, so I can't speak to that. A daily free drink (boozy or not) for guests was a nice touch. Checking in and out was super easy. Speaking of which, the front desk was in the North bldg, and guest rooms were in both the North and South bldgs. The South bldg was directly across the street from the North bldg, and you needed to use your room key card to gain entry. Separate onsen (in South bldg) for men and women; the one for women also required a security code that the front desk provided). Multiple drink lounges (water, coffee, tea...one in the North bldg where restaurant was & where breakfast was served and another in the South bldg). I can't recall if laundry service existed or was offered, but we didn't do any at this stage of our Japan trip.
ACCESS: within a 5-10 minute walk of Kyoto Station so everything was super accessible. Also a 7 Eleven half a block away from North bldg.
AFFORDABILITY: Was here at a non-peak time so I suppose that's why it seemed affordable, but for the price and location, it was a good value to us. Would definitely stay here again.

The exercise room doesn’t exist anymore. They filled the exercise room with massage chairs and moved the treadmills to a very awkward location (in the lobby by the elevators). So when running everyone sees you as they pass. If exercise is a part of your routine then stay elsewhere. Otherwise very nice, but due to the fact that I run daily I will be staying elsewhere moving forward.
