    Small but comfortable room, good bed and pillows, clean and new facilities. Limited choice for breakfast. Quite expensive for this kind of stay.

    Breakfast was a disaster. Eventhough most of the guests wer foreigners, the breakfast buffet was japanesse. I find this completely disrespectul to its guests. I understand their of not speaking english even at front desk but a good hospitality incorporates its guests habits. Eventhough a like japanesse cuisine, is hard to eat teriaky and sweet scrambled eggs in the morning. We bought boiled aggs an bread, cheese , fruits to eat in the morning.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. Good facilities, with an excellent buffet breakfast. The room was a good size as was the bathroom, comfortable bed, and pillows. It was about 2km from. Kyoto station and a short walk (800m) to Omiya station. Buses to other areas ran nearby, so getting around was pretty easy.

    Walking distance to the train station with nearby bus stops. Comfortable bed with wide enough room. Friendly staff. Breakfast buffet was good with a mix of Japanese and continental food.

    Breakfast is really not worth it, you can have much cheaper and better options in the city. We decided to skip it after the first day. We were already expecting only a few sweet or international options, that was not an issue for us, but even the Japanese food was not very good. Although the hotel is just a short bus ride away from Kyoto station, location was not great and in the room you could hear traffick noises from the street. It didn't bother us that much, but I'm sharing it, as I think it might be useful to know.

    The room size was ok, although it was a bit difficult to fit two medium-sized luggages. The bed was really comfortable, in my opinion, not too hard or too soft. Both bedroom and bathroom were clean and everything was working fine. All Apa amenities were provided.

    Nil as everything is good.

    The hotel is close to Kyoto Station and many bus stops. You can find supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The staff are very helpful and the foreign staff can communicate in English very well. The room is reasonable with two big beds, probably 4 feet each. We managed to put two big suitcases. The room had windows on both sides and we could see cars running in the road. It is still very quiet at night. The breakfast in the morning is a buffet style with good choices. The food is tasty and the staff are helpful and smiling.
