    Perhaps a drink refill at breakfast would be nice, otherwise the included breakfast was appreciated.

    Everything was great for the price point! I couldn't fault our stay. The beds and pillows were super comfortable. Super clean and new. Their amenities counter, including toiletries, was well stocked. Water bottles available for each night. Good sound proofing even though we were near the elevators. The Shijo Omiya location was super convenient to access the Randen tramway, Hankyu line, and many city buses service this area. Lots of local eateries that weren't tourist traps, even though it's just 2 km from the busy Shijo-Gion area, Nishiki Market, Pontocho, Gion, etc. McDonalds is a 2 min walk for those who really need it. For those wanting a local sento, Gokoyu is a 900m walk away. The 12 min walk along quiet streets showcases how locals live - some homes are tiny!

    i was very disappointed with the breakfast, I stayed at this hotel last year and the breakfast was amazing, this was mostly why I chose this hotel again this year. The breakfast this time was possibly the worst food I've eaten anywhere which was very disappointing. I probably would not stay here again.

    The room size was good for us, also really liked that the toilet and shower were separate. The free breakfast was smll but sufficient for us..it was a bit to walk to gion,however we were connected very well through bus and train. The train to arashiyama was basically leaving next tour and Nijo castle was just a short walk away

    The room has a window that cannot be open, but also you cannot see outside because it is made out of frosted glass. That part of the hotel is very close to the next building, but my floor was higher than the other building, so it could have been kept with normal glass. Breakfast is really poor, but I appreciate that they make the effort to offer this complimentary breakfast. And the coffee is very good

    Location, nice staff, room not extremely small

    The curtain is not very effective in blocking out the light.

    The hotel is located near the city center, within 5 minutes’ walk to the Hankyu train station, the bus stop, 5 convenience stores, and some affordable restaurants. The room is clean, the bed is comfortable, and the shower is very good.

    The complimentary breakfast was very basic but considering it’s free, we can’t really complain.

    The room was so much larger than we expected. My partner and I could both have our suitcases open on the floors at all times. The bed was comfortable and overall the apartment was very clean. It was also very quiet. The bathroom is nice and we had daily housekeeping without needing to ask. The TV allowed us to watch Netflix which we could connect our personal account to. We arrived earlier than check in time and they have a really easy to use locker system which fits large suitcases so you can leave them and collect later. The hotel is also close to bus and train stations. Possibly our favourite hotel stay of our trip!

    I may have got lucky with the price at the time so I'd say very good value for money especially since I booked quite short notice only a few days before checking in as prior accommodation I had booked needed to be cancelled for personal reasons. The hotel was ideally located if you're wanting a little bit more of a chill vibe but still want to be close to the "central parts" of Kyoto. The hotel room was nice, clean, and spacious. The beds and pillows were great, had plenty of room to move about and really appreciated the table and stools to have a comfortable place to snack and keep all the mandatory conbini snacks bought at the end of the day. Love that the hotel had it's on dedicated laundry room and vending machines for guests, quality of life facilities really make the stay more comfortable. Again location wise it was perfect for us, 25-30 mins on bus from Kyoto station, 25-30 mins walk to Kawaramachi shopping district.

    Location! It’s 3min away from Omiya station, which is almost direct from Osaka and all the other places you want to visit. Complimentary breakfast was nice with a nice sandwich and coffee every morning. You can leave your luggage if you arrive early- they have storage in the back. The bed was comfy, the room was nice enough/ just a bit simple.
