    Though this hotel is closely situated to Kyoto station it's a shame it's not on the other side of the station as that is where most of the tourist and shops etc things are. Room was a decent size, bed was comfortable, bath was tiny. Shame they don't serve breakfast either. Staff were friendly.

    Hotel was fine, probably the most spacious room we have stayed in during our Japan trip. Amenities were average but had to self service things like towels. We had one small issue, I’m unsure if they tried to assign our room to someone else but someone entered our room pretty late at night before realising there was people in it.

    Quite far from the train. 15min walk. BUT OTW to the hotel was superb, lots of food choices and u pass by a mall. The reception is from nepal and said doesnt speak english well. Not friendly and doesnt know what attractive place to visit in Kyoto.

    Its quite spacious. The neighbourhood is aesthetic.. Facilities is superb. Everything is provided.

    There were hardly any spots to hang the towels. The walls were provided with a few spots for the hangers for your clothes. The room also got really cold during our stay. It was hard to work with the heater since it was pointing directly towards the bed.

    The bathrooms were clean and separate. The bed was really comfortable and there was ample floor space to tidy up the luggage.

    Nothing bad, just have in mind that it is a small "hotel", more like a building with fairly equipped rooms and just one person at the reception, there is no lobby or other spaces.

    Good location, close to the station, the room was clean and had the basics a traveller might need.

    No luggage storage service before check-in and after check-out. Shower room does not have a towel rack. Lacking in amenities compared to other hotels in Japan - does not provide bathrobes, no skincare products (e.g., moisturisers, cotton buds), no fabric deodoriser.

    Good location Friendly staff. Microwave available. Quiet and spacious room with separate toilet and shower.

    Kyoto is a bit cold, so in the rooms, you must use the aircon available to warm up the room. But it is not a big deal.

    This hotel in Kyoto had a great location! It was very convenient to explore the city, with key attractions (very close to Kyoto Tower). The transportation and restaurants are just a short walk away. While the accommodations were simple, the fantastic localization made my stay worthwhile.

    Very uncomfortable bed and pillows. Woke up in pain each morning. The toilet was so small and close to the door that my husband couldn't sit down on the toilet with the door closed. There is no soundproofing so I could hear everything in the corridor and my neighbours were noisy above and around us. No bag storage is not great, had to pay $20 AUD at the nearby ibis to store two suitcases.

    As far as Japanese hotels go, this room was some what spacious in comparison to others, however is still very small by western hotel standards. Everything was easily located nearby. The building felt safe and secure. Great towel service.

    The hotel is in a small building so cannot offer luggage storage. No option for Netflix, YouTube or other streaming on the TV.

    Short walk to Kyoto station. The hotel seems newly built so the facilities are all fresh and new. A friendly staff member checked us in, using Google translate to share information in English, which was appreciated.

    the room had very little space and had the absolute basics. this isn't an issue if it's what you're looking for however there is little space to hang things/ place bags etc. if they added a few shelves etc. it would be easier to work with it. essentially had to live out of our bags. the bed and 1 of the cushions were acceptable comfort. 1 cushion was different and not pleasant

    good location for access to stations and some key sights. Whether you're happy to walk a lot of you're planning on using trains/ buses this location is fantastic for the cost. the staff was really pleasant and kind

    The room smelled of humidity. In terms of aesthetic aspects, you could tell that the room has been extensively used before (there was a rather big hole in the wall).

    The location and price-to-quality ratio were very good. In comparison to other hotels in Japan, this room was relatively spacious. Despite being next to the reception, we were never disturbed by noises.

    The table inside the room was rectangular and took up space, could consider a round table place at the corner to save space.
