    In the same area there are a few hotels with the same name, so be careful and check the adress at Google Maps, not only name of the hotel 😁

    Location was great, walking distance from main Streets, and close to Kyoto station for some of the bigger shrines, and turist attractions. Room was very spatious, and it was a surprise beacause we expected tiny rooms in Japan. Room had everything you might need. Staff at the reception was great

    nothing we had a great stay.

    This is tucked away in a densely packed residential area, quite tricky to find initially. It is a great stay, 5 minute walk from an amazing temple and several bus routes. 15 minute walk from the main station. We loved that the laundry service was free for residents.

    Very dark and poorly ventilated room with a window that couldn’t be opened which meant that the room was very stuffy and gloomy.

    Location was fine, although a little far from the closest metro station.

    Where to start? First of all, we arrived around noon by taxi and saw a sign with closed. That was an unpleasant surprise. A other guest explained us that we couldn’t check in until 4 pm and we couldn’t leave our bags as well. Luckily the taxi driver was still there, because it is a very quiet place without any taxis or metro/bus nearby. We went back to the station and dropped our luggage there, which was a bit hard to find a free spot. Around 2pm we got a message that we could check in. We tried to collect our luggage asap, but we were lost in the station. After 1 hour of looking for our luggage we found it. Back to the hotel by taxi, because it is not very nice to walk 20 minutes with luggage (and of course again big lines at the taxi stand). The check in wasn’t quick, because the receptionist had to explain a whole booklet of rules and regulations. Basically you aren’t allowed to do anything at the hotel, they will kick you out without a warning. A lot of warnings are written on papers which hang in the elevator, room and hall. WiFi wasn’t working at all. Toilet was dirty, some leftovers from other guests. There was no service at all, we had to pick own towels, which they provide in plastic (creating additional unnecessary waste). We would love have given this feedback f2f at the reception, but after check in, we didn’t saw any receptionist. We didn’t like the neighborhood either, no restaurants nearby and no metro nearby. Station Kyoto 20 minutes walking distance. Poorest hotel we have stayed in Japan (we stayed at 10 hotels during our trip).

    The size of the room is nice. There was a fridge and microwave. Bed was ok for us too.

    Too much rules (37 pages of a manual they provide you after your booking) and they did not clean the room. Which is something they will not tell you before you book your stay.

    The bed was comfortable and the sight from the balcony was also nice (not surrounded by buildings).

    Mattress was far too soft. Being an English tourist I am probably heavier than other clientele, and as such I sank to the bottom of the mattress

    Bath was sizeable. Offered multi-charging on usb.

    there's a distance from the kyoto station, you need to ride a bus then a walk going to the place but it doesn't matter so much because we enjoyed our stay there.

    I love how the place was well maintained, how the staff explained all the house rules which we found great so the guests will enjoy their stay peacefullty.

    Being the most expensive accommodation on our three week long travel through Japan, I was expecting a bit more. The self service is taken to the extreme. It took me half an hour to go through the booklet with all the rules of the stay. The walls had no insulation so we could hear everything the neighbour was doing... Needless to say it was very awkward and unpleasant. The room was furnished with old furniture and a full size fridge, which is loud, especially during the night. Also, the bathroom was very small.

    Relatively spacious room for Japanese standards.

    The mattress was so bad that you couldn’t sleep and relax 100%. The soundproof also was bad. If someone walk, talk or do anything, in one of other floors, you could definitely hear them and wake up like it is in your own room. The actual time from the hotel to kyoto station is 20’ and not 15’. The room had a horrible smell, I don’t even know how to describe it. And also the room was full of humidity. Bath was too small, even for me (as a girl). In total, unfortunately i would definitely not recommend it to anyone…

    The total cost.
