    Rooms were exceptionally small. The table provided with sitting mats just made it more difficult.

    Well located, nice staff. Room and shared bathrooms were clean. Towels were replaced every day and PJs were available.

    The room is very small and comes with the bare minimum. You have a shared bathroom (different floor) and shared toilets in the hall.

    Kind staff, great location and inexpensive. The bathrooms rooms have nice separated showers and a great make up corner.

    The rooms are really really small. Just for sleeping. It would be nice, if all the breakfast options would include coffee. There was a false fire alarm at night.

    The location is good, the staff is nice and speaks english. The toilets and showers are clean. Wifi works. The breakfast is nice and served in a different place nearby.

    The futon mattress wasn’t the most comfortable but the pillow wasn’t bad.

    Right next to the subway station. They provide pjs, toothbrushes, shampoo that doesn’t need conditioner, hot water for noodles/coffee/tea, a microwave and common area space for studying/working, eating and charging things.

    The room was well laid out!

    The hotel doesn't provide water, they provide only hot water in the lobby and sometime is out of use. Please buy water from convenience shop.

    Excellent location, less than 1 minute walk from subway. 1 stop from Kyoto station. Didn't expect the hotel provide room wear. You may use it if you want.

    The breakfast menu consists of only 3 items which are somehow the same and if someone stays at the hotel for more than 3 days then you get the same food all the time. The blanket in the room was not good and it made uz sweating all night

    The roof top bar was nice. The breakfast was really good quality. The idea of spending knot coins was cute

    This is a no frills option for twice the price is should be. The room is a small windowless box with a futon you have to make up yourself. The showers are on a separate floor so you need to go down in the lift. Be aware of added costs such as charges to clean your room, and even storing luggage if you turn up before check in time.

    The room I was staying in at the front of the property did have traffic noise throughout the night

    The hotel was very clean. The showers are very good and warm. The beds on the floor were surprisingly comfortable. There was a luggage storage area to use before check in time
