Our room was a little on the damp side- but there was a dehumidifier in the room. Check in was at their other propety- 3 minute walk away

Very clean room and bathroom. Western style bed (not futon). Good washing machine in the bathroom. Large fridge/freezer also in the room 10min walk from Kyoto train station

Check-in closes at 9pm which was a bit inconvenient for us as we had to rush to the property.

Clean and spacious room. Convenient location - Kyoto train station is an 8-10 mins walk away.

The hotel is just 8~10 min walking distance from the kyoto station. Is not so far. The facilities were great and complete. It comes with the washing machine, washing liquid, cooking tools. The hotel staff were very helpful. I drop a photo in the room and they message me and help me post it to my OSAKA hotel within a day. Really appreciate it !

Nothing. However, feedback is that they should have a book with local places to eat at in the vicinity. As this was in a residential area it was hard to find restaurants.

Spacious, had a washing machine as well which was fantastic

Location, no staff members, check-in and check-out time.

The check-in procedure needed to be done at another hotel, and the experience was inconvenient. This is a no-staff hotel, everything is help yourself. So they print all the rules inside the book, you have to read it otherwise no one gonna help you. It is a bit confusing to separate garbage, I have never stayed in another hotel in Kyoto so it is hard to say if it is normal. But it never happens in other hotels in Japan. The location is not close to the train station, and the room has no closet so difficult to hang clothes, it is not suitable for staying more than 1 night. The bedroom is nice, typically Japanese style, but the mattresses are dented so I didn’t sleep well. Also, it is quite rude that they sent a message one day before to remind me to check out at 10 am on time. No luggage storage also is very annoying. I think here is only suitable for solo business travellers for short stay for 1 night, not tourists friendly at all.

We didn't even mind having to check in at a different hotel two blocks away (staff shortage), but there we received this anxiety-inducing tome of rules around the property, such as: "No walking on the heel of your foot. We will have to come and evict you, sorry". "The guest has to sort all their garbage carefully into the five bins provided downstairs. Failure to comply will result in embarrassment and a huge fine for the guest". I'm paraphrasing of course, but the wording alone made me really uncomfortable (it wasn't any less threatening-sounding in Japanese or Chinese). It's perfectly fine to say "Please be quite since this is a residential neighbourhood" or "The Kyoto garbage disosal rules are very strict, we would really appreciate your help", but please don't assume I'm gonna be disrespectful and ignorant by default. Meanwhile, there were children running around the hall around midnight and when I asked a staff member the next morning, which bin the aluminium bottle goes they didn't seem very concerned at all.

Beds were veeery comfortable. I personally enjoy a carpeted floor. Bathroom came with washing machine and fan had a clothes drying function 💜 Plenty of outlets and indirect lighting also a plus.

Always happy to back there.

it is quite a distance from the main train station. the check in location was a detour (although not a deal breaker) from the main lodging. I stayed in room 101, the aircon emitted a very foul sour smell (akin to smelly foot). had to keep spraying the room mist to temporarily mask the smell. hope the hotel can do something about it

washing machine and heater available

I don’t like that you have to walk to another property (5-10 min tops) to check-in. It’s not too far but it’s already a pain to roll 2 luggages with backpacks from Kyoto station for 20 mins with the rain. We travelled from Osaka so we’re a little tired from that and that really is the last thing we want to do. I understand they were short staffed but they can maybe just do a self check-in. Also, the washer/dryer was inside the bathroom so it had that musky odor to it. Not a big deal but it you’re sensitive with smell then keep that in mind. You cannot check-in at a certain time so make certain of that if you have a late flight/arrival.

It was a decent size. The bed was pretty big and cozy. It’s self-served and love that we’re able to get our own hotel essentials in the front desk in case that we need coffee, creamer, tea, etc. It has an airbnb feel to it since it’s in a residential area. It comes with a washer and laundry detergent. We didn’t get to use it but I can assume someone staying longer can benefit from this. They also provided some umbrellas which I thought was pretty thoughtful.

Nothing!

Everything! Really close to the centre of Kyoto, but on a quiet back street. A large comfortable & stylish room, with a window that opened and no traffic noise! And how fantastic to have a fridge freezer and a washing machine in the room!! Loved this boutique retreat from city life.

It's the only hotel we've been to in Japan that is still citing staff shortage due to Covid, meaning new towels etc are self-serve. One gets bombarded with page-long messages from an external company in charge of maintenance and check-in/out. I'd prefer dealing with people on the ground but would still recommend the hotel for its great location, cleanliness and room size as good value for money.

Everything about this place was perfect except for the check-in procedure. If you don't mind going to another hotel to conduct check-in, the room would deserve a rating of 10.

The location is very convenient since it is a walking distance from Kyoto Station and Kyoto Tower. The staff can speak English and very detailed with handouts about the rules and regulations of JP INN. The room also has a washing machine and free detergent☺️ Overall we are satisfied with our stay, Arigatou Gozaimasu.

Clean & tidy. Good value for money!

The instructions in English could include how to use the drier. Communication: too many long emails with repetitive information.

Good location near station. Spacious room with comfortable bathroom, shower room and washing machine. Everything worked as planned.

The check-in area is just in a different building from the room, though it is just 2 minutes walk but its a bit inconvenient when you have a lot of baggage.

It was a big room for the price, nice and quiet residential area and accessible transport nearby. Nice and clean with your very own washing machine in the bathroom as well.
