    We have 2 medium n 2 small luggages. There's no wardrobe , no space for storage . Walking space is limited . We tend to knock onto our luggages which is laid on the floor when we move around .

    There's a controller to warm up the bathroom . Good to have if u need to take a bath at night when the weather is freezing cold . The controller also has a dehumidify function . We hang our washed clothing in the bathroom (rail provided) n it dries up pretty fast . Our 2nd apartment in osaka doesn't have the above functions . Just a normal bathroom . I can't wash my last 2 days clothing bcos it will not dry up in time .

    The space is quite small for big luggages. There's not enough space to place it. That's all. ☺️

    Great location! Near many main attractions in Kyoto i.e. Kiyumizu-dera, Yasaka-jinja shrine, Fushimi Inari Taisha, Gion, etc . Take trains or buses to those directly, even if walking is preferred. The staff is very friendly. All facilities is in the room. I love watching TV in the bathroom while onsen.

    The room were a bit stuffy and the air con was right at your head so we end up sleeping up side down to not catch a cold.

    Staff were so friendly. Very accommodating and nice! and they speak english so well. We love their hospitality.

    Our room was near the garbage disposal area so garbage bags would pile up near our door :(

    The rooms are clean and big enough for a family of 3. There are many food options near the hotel.

    Room without view. But not a big issue. No place to store luggages. We travel as family of 4, so we need to be creative on placing our clothes so everyone have their own space.

    Location is close to subway. Many local eateries around. Located next to morning market stretch. Can experience local food and culture. Located near to quiet canal in a quiet neighbourhood Family Mart and Presco Petit is less than 10 mins walk. Be adventurous and walk across (behind MCD) and try those small izakaya. Most only seat between 5 ~ 10 pax max.

    The location was great for my family, a short walk to many stores and restaurants. There were a number of small restaurants/cafes within a 5minute walk. We were easily able to travel to and from the nearby train stations. The room itself was comfortable and provided plenty of space for us (family or four with two young children under 7.) We had no issues with any of the amenities, washing machine, microwave, kettle, internet etc. At many places with washing machines we have seen vending machines to purch small packets of washing powder from but we did not see one here. We were able to buy some a typical sized box at a grocery store 2 blocks away.

    We stayed in a room with two beds that had a sofa and table, as well as a small kitchen area and a private bathroom. The window doors opened and allowed to step outside onto a tiny balcony. Slippers and toothbrushes were provided, as well as shampoo, conditioner and body soap, sustainably in refillable containers. The beds were comfortable. Checking in and out was easy. Staff was friendly. The place was clean. Good location in a quiet alley crossing a street that was magically decorated with laterns. Close to a cute tree lined canal and historic Gion district. There was a variety of food options in the neighborhood.

    The carpet in our ground floor room felt wet a day it was heavy rain. There were also wet stains on the floor the hallway on the ground floor the same day.

    Great to have a washing machine and a shower that turned into a cupboard dryer. The rooms had everything we needed, even a small hob.
