    Everything was awesome! Very clean and spacious! My feedback will be to improve the quality of the pillows. Other than that everything was great!

    For what you pay, there is little to complain about. I found a used glass of water on the floor and a used tissue under the bed. These did not negatively affect my stay though. I would have liked an extra bath towel.

    Basic accommodation in a great location + good price.

    Somebody left there underwear at the room and they didn't clean it. You can guess how clean it was at the room if the stuff didn't even notice someone's underwear. We were living at 1 floor so it was pretty noisy (can hear the cars outside).

    A bit far from the train station while carrying heavy luggage.

    The room was quite comfy and spacious. Amenities readily available as expected for a japanese hotel. Although the lack of staff present was a bit out of the usual for us, we were able to check in and out easily.

    The room was quite spacious considering you are in Japan. We were able to open up all our suitcases and still manage to have extra space to move within the room. The location was in a quiet neighborhood and there was a nearby shrine you could visit especially first thing in the morning which was a bonus! Amenities were provided and a washing machine is definitely a plus when you're staying for a couple of days.

    There is room for improvement, first, one of the beds was really hard, second, there is little to no storage were to put our staff, and lastly, we only had 1 set of towels during our 8 days stay, and they were a bit thin.

    Staff is really friendly and highly responsive, they answer quickly, and they give you all important information about check-in and check-out in advance. It has a great location, you can easily go by walking or by bus to Gion, Kiyomizu dera, and many others, really close to a train station and just steps away from a museum, restauranta and a FamilyMart. The place has a kitchen and a washing machine which were very helpful during our stay. It also included some amenities that I really appreciated

    I would recommend simplifying the system for trash disposal or informing guests in advance about what to do with it. I had to use hand soap from the bathroom to clean the dishes, as there was no other detergent available.

    All facilities matched the description, and there were no issues with check-in (as mentioned in other reviews). The system was intuitive, and the instructions sent by the property in advance were clear. There is no reception, but communication with the property was easy and smooth. Arranging fresh towels or trash disposal was hassle-free. The washing machine is a great bonus. The location is really convenient for sightseeing.

    Carpet was a little dirty, but otherwise clean.

    Location was perfect, and easy for us to get to some of the most beautiful temples and shrines. Its on a little tiny side street, one way traffic. Some nice restaurants for vegans in the area too. The young man who maintains the place was very nice and very helpful when we had to check-in. Great room, large enough for our luggage, had a tiny kitchen, microwave, stove, fridge and best of all - a tiny washing machine for our clothes. Only recommendation, across Japan, please provide a couple of extra pillows.

    The pillows are not so comfortable. The beds were separated which is not ideal for a couple. Being foreigners in Japan without a Japanese phone number, I think it would be more helpful to have a physical person at the entrance in case of problems.

    Spacious and clean room, good position. Easy check-in and check-out. Many useful facilities available such as AC, microwave and washing machine. There is also a mosquito net separating the room from the balcony.

    Convenient and good value for money but cleanliness could be better

    Cleanliness could be improved as we found hair in the bathroom and in the shelves around the sink. Light sleepers may get woken up by noise as it's not totally soundproof so you can hear people talking, and the curtains do let quite a bit of light in. It would be good if they could use key cards instead of physical keys since you need to use it to enter the inner part of the hotel (where the lifts and rooms are), and it would be good in emergency situations if you need to enter quickly - one weird drunk guy tried to follow us back from the convenience store and since there's nobody on duty at night and the street is dark, it would be faster to tap the key instead of trying to shove the physical key in the lock.

    Great location near Shichijo Station and Family Mart, as well as some cute bars, cafes and McDonalds. It is on a residential street and behind a university. Room is spacious and good for two people and has a washing machine, detergent, a medium sized fridge and clothing rack. You can take more towels from downstairs if you need them. Check-in and check-out simple as they sent a guide and video on how to get the key - they don't have 24-hour staff and we never saw them until the day we checked out when housekeeping was around. The price was very good when we booked a few months ahead, especially considering the proximity to the station.

    Check in was abit troublesome. I wondered if I could have checked in earlier? Since the key was already in the lock box. There was some dust at the corners, observable only if you really want to find it.

    It's a complete studio, what's not to like? The bathroom is more spacious than I anticipated. There is a Book-Guide on Kyoto. I let my clothes dry in the bathroom with the ventilator on; it did dry overnight. The bed linens were really, really good. Not the generic hotel "silky" linen; the fine yet subtly coarse texture was a real joy to feel. The pillow is also reversible; beads on one side and foam on the other - that is truly considerate.

    Beds were a bit uncomfortable and pillows were very small. We reserved two rooms and only one was ready at the check in time.

    It was clean & the rooms were good sized. Everything was done remotely and that worked well. Location was near restaurants, and a bus line

    I didn't see any private showers or other bathing. All bathing I saw was communal, which may be a deal-breaker if you don't want strangers to see you naked.

    Superb location, well designed and efficiently run. Surprisingly quiet at night despite being in a popular nightlife area with gambling establishments very close by. The provided security safes for belongings seemed to be good.
