    Don't expect a view out of the window. It is in an older, residential area with closely built buildings/houses. That felt a bit claustrophobic at times.

    The location was fabulous. Just a few mins walk to the metro and many shrines. It was very spacious with a washer, kitchen, microwave and air-conditioning. We loved the nearby creek. Very pretty area.

    there was nowhere to hang wet towels. not enough towels were provided (only two body towels and two face towels for two people for four days.

    the room was clean, huge and well equipped. amazing having so much room, and the kitchen facilities and washing machine and drying rack were such a bonus. beds were clean and comfy, air conditioning perfect. awesome having a dining table and chairs as well as a balcony. hotel is very well situated and easily accessible to everything.

    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.

    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.
