    Unusual self check in process, would have been helpful to know that via email beforehand. If we didn’t see someone else do it, we wouldn’t have known. Good location near Kyoto main train station. Very clean and comfortable hotel

    Nothing..everything was as we wanted.

    Easy checking in process… we received the code on the morning of arrival and it allowed access to the lobby and room. It is minimally staffed but that suited us. The twin room was a good size for the two of us, it was clean and well stocked with coffee and tea making facilities. The en suite was also very clean. The towels were changed every day and bins emptied. It was simple but perfect for what we needed…a comfortable bed and a shower after a long day of walking! Not a criticism but advice….eat before you return to the hotel as not much around the hotel although there is a convenience store nearby.

    The location was a bit poor if you were looking to be in the heart of kyoto, but nice and close to the station

    The room was very clean, TV and chrome cast were very helpful, check in was smooth if you keep up with the hotels emails.

    I stayed for 3 nights and it was raining. A washing machine + dryer would be nice to have in the property to clean our dirty / wet clothes.

    The property looks new and very clean. But it is unmanned hotel so you have to communicate via app or email all the time. They do clean the room, towel and take your trash out daily. 10+ minutes walk to Kyoto station. Everything is written so guests understand what to do / not to do.

    Pillows weren't very good but thats about it. (To be honest everywhere we've been in Japan pillows are terrible)

    Room was good for a few nights and location was perfectly situated close to the train station and conveniences. Was concerned about some reviews suggesting it was difficult to get into rooms and building trying to obtain their QR Key as the building is not staffed but we didnt have any issues ourselves.

    There’s very limited storage space in the room, no early check-in, luggage storage, "do not disturb" sign or laundry available, and the hallway lights stay on all night, letting in a lot of light. It would also be helpful to receive a pre-arrival email explaining how everything works, as we suggested to management (though we haven’t received a response).

    It’s important to know this is fully self-managed with no on-site staff. If you're comfortable with technology and have no issues during your stay, the setup is convenient, modern, clean, and gives a great sense of independence.

    They don’t have the service to receive bags sent through Yamato so we had to pick them up elsewhere. The other thing missing was storage.

    No receptionist... When I had issues with not receiving a QR code to access my room, it was very stressful to use the Japanese only call button in the lobby. The room is also very cold, perhaps the doors need better sealing. There is also no "do not disturb" or "do not clean" option.

    Clean, well maintained, modern

    Small room. Nowhere to store suicases. There are no drawers to put clothes in. Only 3 coat hangers. If you don't like the colour orange, you might want to book elsewhere. TV - local channels only, no movies. Good Coffee machine is provided, but coffee pods are not restocked daily. You get a few tea/ coffee pods upon arrival. That's it. When I asked the staff for some more coffee, I was told 'no!'. So, if you stay longer than one night, you have to buy your own tea and coffee. There is no reception desk on the premises.

    Good location. Nice asthetic design. Close to bus and train station & local mall. Safe area. Clean room. Comfy, firm bed. Adjustable room lighting. Coded entry for main entrance and room. Good size bathroom with large tub, great shower pressure & toiletries. Washlet bidet toilet with heated seat. I recommend this hotel, but the Hotel does need to up their game and supply guests with daily tea/coffee and bottle water for the amount you pay per night.

    Trying to checkin. Make sure that you complete the email process before you get to the hotel, because there is nobody there to help you. Also…take your phone charger with you, because if you come back to the hotel with a dead phone. You will have to wait for another person staying at the hotel to come let you into the “lobby”, which does have phone chargers, but they are of little use, if you can’t get into the lobby to use them.

    Clean and everything you needed. Close to central Kyoto and the train station.

    Minor, but there were some dead bugs on one of the needs. Bathroom was mostly clean, but there was one strand of hair in there that wasn’t mine.

    Pretty close to Kyoto station and the room was fairly clean.
