It was a nice little Place for what I needed. I spent most of the time traveling around but it was good for a place to sleep and shower. The breakfast was good early in the morning and they do offer Dinner too but I did not take advantage because of the good food in Japan.

Pros: Rooms were clean, daily breakfast and dinner is good, lawson’s is right beside the hotel, many restaurants nearby, staff were very sweet and helpful, Kyoto Station isn’t too far, public bath, and it’s a quieter neighborhood.

Cons: Check out is 10am but Check in is at 4pm, hotel is older with many rooms but the map isn’t clean so it’s hard finding your room at first, coin laundry machines but they were pretty dirty with dirt stuck on the sides like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while, the dryer didn’t even dry my clothes(2 pants) so it felt like a waste of money, not many amenities.

Some things to keep in mind: In case you want to do early check in, they charge more before 1pm and after 1pm they charge 30% of current room prices, same with late check out. You have to book dinner beforehand.

Clean hotel. Good location. Ok free dinner and breakfast which are miles better than most Hampton Inns (if you travel to US you know what I mean). Cleanliness would be 9 compared to Hampton Inn which would be around 6 (I am generous here). I spent about 120-150 nights in hotels world wide each year so I know a little. The only downside is the small space of the rooms. Then again, you can pay 4x or more and stay in Hilton’s or Marriott (I am top tier at both).

This hotel is great for the price. My booking came with breakfast and dinner included. The food was pretty good. Breakfast is buffet and dinner is a choice of two set menus, plus a salad bar. The room I had was ok. I know people say the rooms are small but I found it fine. A double bed, sofa, table for TV etc. the bathroom was a bit small but it was fine. The hallways leading from the lift to the rooms are open (to a certain degree) there is a central open core running up through the building which is open but in October it was fine. It might be cold in the winter. All in all I had a nice stay here and would stay here again.

All of the staff we encountered were great! The room and bathroom were so small it makes a cruise ship cabin seem big. We knew it would not be roomy ahead and was ok. The beds were really hard though. The bathroom has a high step and to get in the tub was extremely difficult for someone with arthritis. Dinner and breakfast were provided. We both really liked the dinner. Neither of us cared for the breakfast. They both say they end at 9:00, but the staff closes the area 30 minutes early. The area was ok. Not much around it. If you struggle with steps and a hard bed, this is not it. If that’s not an issue for you, it’s a good price! The staff truly were so kind.

Great

It’s a great experience overall considering the rate in summer - I only paid CAD 46 for a one night stay. Clean room and friendly staff along with free breakfast as well as dinner.

The only thing is that it’s a bit far from Kyoto station so location wise, the universal hotels in other Japanese cities (Hiroshima, Okayama, etc) provide a better experience.

5 or so min walk to Kujo metro station. Lawson store right next to hotel. Breakfast and dinner included in stay, which we weren’t aware of. Check in was slow and English was limited. Breakfast was ok for the convenience, dinner we only had once during our stay as obviously much better food in Kyoto! Room and bathroom very small and dated decor. No wardrobe or space to put your luggage so was difficult with our 5 night stay. Plenty of washing machines and tumble dryers. Would recommend only for a 1/2 night stay and you are price sensitive.

Rooms are very small but the facilities makeup for that. You get breakfast included in the price which is a very good deal for the price. There is a Lawson right near the entrance for quick shopping. Kyoto station is a good 20 minutes walk.

Fully booked and great value for the price charged. Not a 5 star hotel but for the price it is extremely great. Free breakfast and dinner has tiny portions but great flavours. Introduced me to my new favourite condiments. I am a healthy eater so salad and vegetables were all you can eat and pleantiful. The only thing I did not like was all vegetables were cold but I simply soaked them in hot water I. The bowl and drained it a few times. Seating is tight but works. If you are picky you will complain about something but the same can be said no matter where you stay. Our bathroom was a bit uriny smelling but the Japanese toilet seat was great. Rooms in Japan are tight and small and this is no exception. These Japanese rooms make cruise ship rooms feel big. Anyway I would recommend this place and would stay again

他の口コミにもありますが、建物自体は古い感じでしたが、清掃は行き届いており、清潔な感じはしました。京都駅からは歩けない距離ではありませんが、真夏だったので私は地下鉄やタクシーを利用しました。周辺に飲食店はありませんが、隣にコンビニがあったのは良かったです。最低限の定食のような食事が付いており(私は外食をしたので夕食は食べていませんが)、大浴場もあり、安い料金だったので寝に帰るだけのホテルなら位置的にもコスパ的にも素晴らしいホテルだと思います。アメニティも最低限はあり、フロントの対応も悪くはなかったです。外国人や学生さんもいましたが、お値段の割に客層も悪くは無かったです。

優點與特色
​平坦易行的步行路線: 距離 JR 京都站約 1 公里。雖然有一小段路程,但沿途皆為平坦地面,拖拉行李相當輕鬆好走(若較介意步行距離的旅客可先行評估)。
​周邊生活機能佳: 飯店旁邊就是當地的便利商店,無論是想吃點東西或購買日常用品都非常方便。
​環保方案享現金回饋: 承襲同體系飯店的特色,若向櫃檯說明取消客房清潔服務,即可獲得部分的現金回饋。
​餐飲服務完善: 住宿同樣包含早餐與晚餐,替旅客省下不少餐費與安排用餐的時間。
​外語溝通無礙: 櫃檯服務人員基本上都能使用簡單的英文溝通,旅客完全不需要擔心語言障礙,入住更安心。
​⚠️ 待改進與需留意之處
​夜間大門清潔待加強: 晚上約十點半抵達時,發現大門玻璃上聚集了許多蟲子且未及時清理。雖然可能受天氣等自然因素影響,但視覺上仍會讓剛抵達的旅客感到有些訝異。
​餐飲菜色變化較少: 承襲該連鎖飯店體系的一貫狀況,早、晚餐的菜色樣式變化不多,對於期待餐點多樣性的旅客來說選擇較為侷限。

九条駅から近く、荷物が多くなければ京都駅からも歩ける距離です。
付近に食事できる店が少ないけど、一階にはローソンがあります。
大浴場があり旅の疲れが癒せました。
この値段で二食付きはなかなか無いと思うし、旅で野菜不足しがちな中で、サラダバーがあるのはありがたかったです。
コインランドリーが、ティッシュを入れて洗濯した人がいたのかティッシュくずが散乱していたのが気になりました。

교토에서 몇번 숙박을 한 적이 있지만 이곳은 처음이었어요.
가격이 너무 저렴해서 꺼려진건도 사실이죠.
일주일정도 묶었는데, 결론부터 이야기 하면 장단점이 명확합니다

<단점>
1. 숙소가 좀 오래된 듯한 느낌입니다. 2000년대 호스텔 스타일? 물론 시설자체는 관리를 잘 해서 안되거나 부서진것은 전혀없습니다.
2. 전 1인실이었는데 일본임을 감안해도 좀 좁은 편 입니다.
3. 교토역까지 걸어서 15분 정도? 이건 딱히 단점이라고 하기는 그렇네요. 생각보다 그렇게 멀지는 않으나 매일 전철을 타실거라면 단점이 될 수 있을 것 같습니다.

그래서 호캉스 스타일 좋아하시는 분들은 매우 싫어하실거에요.

<장점>
1. 매일 아침, 저녁 무료 제공: 아침은 부페, 저녁은 두가지 메뉴중 택 1입니다. 어마어마한 장점이죠.
2. 무료 사우나: 객실안에 작은 욕조가 있지만 지하 1층에 큰(?) 사우나 무료 이용 가능합니다.
3. 24시간 카운터 운영: 별거 아닌것 같지만 요즘 일본은 인력난으로 10시 이후 아침까지 카운터 운영 안하는 경우가 많습니다. 그럼에도 24시간 카운터 운영하는건 매우 큰 장점이죠
4. 건물 내 편의점: 내부가 이어져 있지는 않지만 같은 건물에 로손 편의점이 있습니다. 필요물품 구매시 매우 편리합니다.
5. 걸어서 3분거리에 버스정류장: 버스가 자주 있지는 않지만 매우 가까운 거리에 81번 버스 정류장이 있습니다. 교토역 또는 후시미쪽 가시는분들은 유용합니다.

단점도 있지만 장점도 많습니다. 젊으신분들 혹은 혼자 여행 오시는분들에게 강력 추천합니다.

ネット予約では予約のタイミングによって料金が変わってしまうことがあるので何とも言えませんが、今回は非常に安価な料金で宿泊(連泊)することができました。2食付きでこの料金のコストパフォーマンスは非常に良いと思います。改善の要望としては、お部屋のお茶Tパックが1個だけである点(ルーム清掃しない場合はなしとなってしまう)。タオルは日々ドアノブにかけていただいていたので、その中にでも入れてくれるか、もしくはロビーにフリードリンクを置いていただけるなどするとうれしい。ドリンクは食事会場のみ。となっていた。
また、食事は小食な方は良いが、ご飯、味噌汁くらいはおかわりさせてほしいもしくは希望者には、大盛にしてくれるなどしていただけたら嬉しい(現状は、おかわり、大盛とも有料だった)。多くの方はサラダーバーでおなかを満たしていました。

ひとり旅で利用しました。
地下鉄駅から7分くらい?
バス停目の前ですが1時間に2本でした。
二食付き安価で予約でき
早くから食べれる朝食は良かったです。
夕食は定食かカレーで質素な感じです。
いつも歩き回って食べ損ねてしまう私にはにはよかったです。
もし京都旅行で行きたい飲食店があればそちらを優先した方が良いかもしれません。
学食のように長くテーブルを配置していて間隔が狭くとても出入りがしずらかったです。
せめて壁側からも通れるようにしてほしいです。
しかしながら大浴場も気持ちよいですし大満足です。
スタッフの方々もよいのでひとり旅の時には候補とさせて頂きます。

ホテルの立地は京都駅からも一駅で観光にも便利でした。必要最低限の設備は揃っていて快適に過ごしました。難を言えば部屋のユニットバスが狭く入り口に段差があり、出入りに手間取るぐらいですかね。でも、それを十分補う価格の安さで満足でした。朝食も夕食もついて、ついついホテルに早く帰ってきてしまうw。夕飯でお腹いっぱいになり、昼間歩いた疲れからを大浴場でゆっくり足を伸ばして癒やし、夜更かし等もせず寝てしまいました。規則正しい生活が送れますw。宅急便の発送等もできて便利でした。

Ótimo hotel, da para ir a pé da estação onde chegam e partem os Shinkansen de Kyoto, tem estação de metrô próximo, ponto de ônibus tem uma loja de conveniência do lado, quarto grande para os padrões japoneses, café da manhã grátis mas é um café típico oriental então não espere coisas típicas do ocidente como bolos, ovos mexidos e bacon.

Hotel çalışanları Japon olmayanlar özellikle oldukça
Kabaydı.

Yastık vermediler. Her odaya sadece 2 adet verme kuralları varmış. Bunun yerine battaniye verdiler büküp yastık yapın dediler. Çok tuhaf!
Sonra telefon konuşması var 30 yen ödemeniz var dediler. Sanırım ahizeyi kaldırdığınız gibi para yazıyorlar.

Odalar gerçekten küçük ama personel güleryüzlü ve anlayışlı olsaydı bu hiç önemli olmazdı.
Eşim hayatında kaldığı en kötü otel olarak değerlendirdi.
