The rooms were quite a good size for Japan and the place is spotlessly clean. They have a 24/7 area where you can get water, fruit juices, tea, coffee and they have a machine that will dispense beer or wine for 500 YEN (coin only, this needs to be changed to a credit card to make it easier). They put out bread and overbaked croissants everyday, maybe add crisps and nuts in packets, as i saw one person put their hand in the nut jar! Fab location, in a great area to walk into the main shopping areas and not too far from the gardens and palaces. Very close to a subway station and bars and restaurants. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. One thing i would ask for is a way to be able to plug a HDMI device into the TV as all channels in Japanese, which is fine, but when you are staying there for 3 days or more it would be nice to relax with a movie etc in the evenings. Wifi was also good.

In agreement with most past comments.

Accessible (very close to the karasuma oike subway station) and within walking distance to most places, clean, nice jet stream shower, helpful staff.

Amenities were great. Lots of items available.

The cherry on top is the 24 hour lounge with complimentary bread and pastries that actually taste good.

Perfect stay for Kyoto. Immediately nice vibe in the lobby and the staff were helpful and friendly. There’s a subway right around the corner. Room comfortable and quiet, and the shower is the best we’ve had on this trip. Yes the rooms are small but that is universal for anywhere in Japan. Loved this hotel, would stay again. Appreciated the free bakery and juice/coffee items too, and the customisable water bottle!

Hotel is in a very quiet part of town but only about a 10-15 min walk to all the action. I enjoyed the tranquility after a long day out. Train line is around the corner. There is a 7-11, Lawson and Familymart each within a 2-5 min walk. Showers are amazing! Only thing is I wish maybe there was more than one washer and dryer.

Only negative was the room was too small, however, the shower was amazing! Separate toilet worked out well and the bidet was the best of our trip. Staff was very helpful and friendly. 7-11 around the corner. A few restaurants close by as well. Subway was very close by. A Room and facilities were clean. Beverages and baked good came in handy, although they were the same everyday. If the rooms weren’t so small, we’d stay there again.

Such a cool vibe and aesthetics. Love love the coffee machine that makes the perfect latte and pastries throughout the day. Love the orange juice and the communal area. Great design of the rooms as well, as well as the best shower/tub combo. Such good value for all that you get.

Great little hotel. Very quiet and calm. Great showers. Lots of pastries and drinks, which solved the problem of breakfast, especially for us, as we woke up at 5 am most days. (We noticed that some guests filled up bags of croissants after checking out, which was really sad to see, as they just emptied out the box of pastries into a plastic bag and left other guests nothing.) there is a 7/11 and a metro line right next to it. And some nice restaurants around too.

I loved this small hotel! It was clean and conveniently located. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The pastries and drinks were certainly appreciated after getting back to the hotel from a long day of exploring. The room was small but had enough room to lay out our 2 carry-on suitcases. The bath area was fabulous. Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic venue with a great vibe and well furnished/kitted social space. The free tea, coffee and pastries (and breads) were above our expectations and helped to set us up well for our days out in the city. The range of board games and books was also a pleasant surprise. The staff were helpful and polite from our arrival and were always willing to help. The room had a good range of amenities and very enjoyable shower. We did find the space in the room a little limited and the pillows were too hard for our personal liking. These are minor niggles and overall had a great time at this hotel.

This hotel is GREAT. It was by far the best hotel of our entire Japan trip, and we stayed at other very good hotels. The room is spacious, clean, and has a fantastic shower. All amenities you could need are available. The lobby area was so nice to hang out in during times that we needed to rest our feet from the 30,000 step days.

The rooms were fairly large (for Kyoto) with the subway close to hand. Hotel was clean and looked good and the staff were very polite and helpful. The free breads and pastries was a good idea, but with a 7/11 literally on the corner we didn't make much use of them. Subway is about five minutes walk away and while there weren't a large number of restaurants (that we found) nearby, what we did find were good. A good hotel well situated. I'd definitely go there again.

This was our favorite hotel during our trip to Japan. It was very comfortable :) The room had more than enough space for luggage and to sit in addition to very comfortable beds and nice touches like pajamas to wear at night. The shower/bath area was delightful. The common area was a nice place to relax and enjoy games and music. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Very nice place to stay.

I was so impressed with this hotel. Best shower I’ve had in my life. The room was small but had absolutely everything you need, excellent amenities, separate toilet room with additional sink, plus tub and shower were a separate room that you could lock the door and get super steamy while someone else used the sink and counter space. Having that type of space to get ready was refreshing!

It was my second time at this hotel and it was once again awesome. I really appreciated the new laundry setup where we could state which room we were in - a bit less stressful. I missed the pin set up this time round but it was still more organized this way.

Bread I only got to enjoy once - still fluffy and delicious. Get the milk bread when you see it! They rotate options out!

Great location! Not far from the station at all. In fact it’s so convent to quickly hop on the station and it’s only 3 stops from Kyoto station.

The staff were amazing. The rooms were clean. They had bikes available for guests and we were able to ride bikes around Kyoto. I would recommend you stay away from the shopping area as you cannot ride your bikes or park there. My only con of this place is the rooms are extremely small. So it made it very difficult for us to open are suitcases comfortably. Despite that would highly recommend this place!

Incredible experience

The hotel was incredible. The staff were all wonderful - super helpful, spoke English well and were very helpful with everything we needed.
The location is in a quite area but a short 10 minute walk to downtown and just a few steps away from the subway (connected to Kyoto Station).
It was clean and comfortable, the lobby has complimentary tea, coffee and snacks 24 hours and free bicycle rental.
The room is small like all in Japan but it was laid out in a comfortable way and you have anything you could ask for - shower is amazing.

The only little downside for us was the pillows were very firm, and note that the bed itself is also quite firm and not bouncy or soft if you prefer that.

All in all, wonderful experience - highly recommend.

Reasonable

Good location near an underground station. Room was a good size. Pillows were far too hard and it was difficult to regulate temperature between the air conditioning and the duvet being too warm. Nice to have bread and soft drinks available all day long. It is definitiely a tourist hotel if that is what you are looking for. Laundry was challenging with it being very in demand and I felt the clothes were not cleaned as well as they could have been.

I was thoroughly impressed by the cleanliness of the room and the property as a whole, as well as how modern and comfortable everything was. The staff were extremely helpful and were always quick to greet me whenever I passed through reception.

My only negative was that there is one washing machine and one dryer for the entire hotel, and they seemed to almost always be occupied. The one time I managed to use the washing machine, there was a three hour wait for the dryer due to the backlog. The only other option was to walk a few streets to a laundromat, and I wasn’t keen on spending my evening sitting in the laundromat.

So glad we chose this hotel for our 3 night trip. It's pretty new and they have really got it right. The staff are all so helpful and pleasant. The room (superior twin) was small, but big enough for two. Very comfortable bed and exceptional shower. What makes this hotel even better is the social space on the ground floor. Free coffee, juice, and all manner of breads and pastries at all times of the day. Reasonably priced wine and beer and free nibbles to go with them. Comfy sofas and a turntable for some lovely vinyl sounds to accompany drinks and chat. It was never over-busy but always had a good atmosphere. It was 30 mins stroll to the \"old Kyoto' area, and close to Nishiki market area. Tube station Karusuma Oike just a short walk away - 3 stops from here to Kyoto station, just 5 mins. They held on to our bags on the final day whilst we were out and about to enjoy our last hours. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff - they are a great plus for this excellent hotel.

Hotel was nice and clean, staff were friendly, laundry easy to figure out. Only issue is the 24hr snack bar is lacking, it’s nice it’s 24hrs but it doesn’t change for breakfast. So bread for breakfast only, it’d be nice if they had eggs, fruit or something else so you can actually have breakfast. They also watched us struggle our 3 luggage’s and backpacks upstairs.. odd that they don’t help there, but not a big deal. Everything else was standard and as always staff very friendly

Really an awesome location, very close to the station. Staff were amazing and extremely helpful. They even helped with shipping our large suitcases back to Narita airport directly from the hotel. Free coffee, juice and breads were a nice addition, when waking up at 5am to start your day. Very hot water in the very large shower, that heated up quickly. Also had a large bathtub that fill up quickly (a must after walking 20k steps a day).

Honestly nothing negative to say about the hotel. Stayed for 5 nights and would do so again.

Excellent professional service at a lovely hotel. The location is incredible - very central, right by the subway station which is on both lines, and walking distance to various sites. Rooms are small but clean and comfortable. The road which the hotel is on is also very quiet - even though we were only on the 3rd floor there was no traffic noise. The complimentary tea, coffee and pastries were also very welcome each morning.

Great hotel, would recommend!

Genuinely a fantastic stay, we'll be coming back when we're next in Kyoto! The hotel is in a good location right near Karasuma station. The staff were really friendly and helpful (they made restaurant recommendations and rang around to get our large group a booking more than once). The lobby is outstanding, clean, well maintained and the pastries/bread on offer is delicious. The room was the biggest we had while travelling in Japan. The ONLY irritation is that there's a single washing machine in the hotel so it was a headache trying to use it, but we ended up at a coin laundry 500m away!
