No storage of luggage - which at least they signposted, but was a bit of a pain and unlike every other hotel we stayed in.

Stayed in March 2025

No smoking room, which becomes important in a place like Japan.

Very clean, microwave in room,

Stayed in February 2025

There wasn't really anything wrong, but the stay was not very comfortable. The hotel felt a bit messy and dirty and there were some strange smells around the place.

Staff were polite. Room was clean and spacious enough, with a TV and humidifier. Good location - great restaurants and Nijo station nearby.

Not really 100% clean

Room is larger than I think.

but they took extra 1600 yen for some city tax however no other hotel took this charge from us! Also no coffee no tea bags were available at their amenities section !

Near to Nijo station and price was quite decent

The bathrooms were very small. The second front desk staff member was quite rude and refused to help us.

Good location and the rooms were clean and spacious. One of the front desk staff members was incredibly kind and helpful

The rugs at the entrance of the hotel were dirty. When you entered the hotel, you might think a dirty environment is waiting for you, but that's not the case. The hotel should consider changing them.

The room was very comfortable. I enjoyed it during my stay.

Smell of smoke throughout. Dirty pavements.

Location was ok.

Stayed in July 2023

The room was kinda dirty and smelled really bad. I did book a smoking room (although I don’t smoke myself, but it’s cheaper) so that might explain the smell, but it doesn’t explain the stains on the bed linen. They did provide a bottle of air refresher wish I emptied completely almost immediately upon my arrival to combat the ratchet smell of smoke. The airconditioning unit was also leaking water onto the desk, and this isn’t really a problem until you realise that there are numerous 110V outlets located on the desk, facing upwards! I moved the desk to avoid being electrocuted to death XD. So the room definitely had some flaws. They also didn’t tidy up my room or change out my towels during my 5 night stay, so I had to use one set of towels/bed linen during my entire stay. (If I could show pictures of the stains and leaking I’d definitely show them, but booking.com only allows me to upload a single picture of the room)

The location is great, it’s about a 15 minute walk to Nijō Castle, and a 25 minute walk to the Imperial Palace. However, it’s about 45/60 minutes to the temples and shrines in the old part of Kyoto. You can take the bus or metro though.

Location

Stayed in June 2023

Hotel does not allow to leave the luggage before check in or after check out. Not traveller friendly.

The overall of this hotel is good. There is several city bus stop nearby the hotel.

Stayed in May 2023

The hotel will not keep your luggage after checking out. A solution for that problem is to keep the luggage at coin-lockers at the subway station (Nijo station nearby)

Stayed in May 2023

No washing machines available. You need to walk for a long distance to reach the hotel. Not all the staff can speak English well.

The twin room is very big. You can open two large size luggage and walk around the room freely. There are many vending machines (for drinks) at the reception area, which is marvellous. There is independent air conditioner for you to control the room temperature.

Stayed in April 2023

The room cleaning policy. Maybe by the government's COVID strategy, the hotel would not provide room cleaning service regularly or you have to pay extra room cleaning service fee. So, it is not good for staying over 2 or more nights.

It is located near Nijo castle and JR station. And you can easily go to everywhere in Kyoto by bus or metro.

Stayed in March 2023

The kitchen had no plates/spoons/knives/etc. and the staff couldn't provide them, making the kitchen area pointless. The receptionist showed me the wrong elevator to my room making me walk in circles. The room including the air conditioner was dusty. The bed had a stain on it and someone put the bathrobe on top of it to hide it. I found a pair of used shoes under the bed.

The location was ok, close to a bus stop. The room was spacious and included a kitchen area with a stove, a microwave and a fridge. There was a washing machine in the room.
