A bit small than expected but you will get used to it.

Quick responses. They gave me a room on the first floor so I don’t have to walk upstairs with my suitcases.

Curtains were too thin that cause us trouble in sleeping for the sun; no early check-in

comfortable place and district, no problem with self check in. Spacious room with all the amenities

Maybe regular updates and map of the directions

Facilities

No place to leave your luggage if you arrive early. Rental bicycle Fuune down the road has good bicycles and will hold your luggage. And let you rent overnight. 4pm checkin is a standard, but I would like earlier.

Extra long review to help those visiting Kyoto and to hopefully provide feedback to see if they listen and improve or if you have similar experiences. First off, check-in was unnecessarily difficult. All messages sent from the booking.com app were in Japanese and there are no easy ways to translate unless you cut and paste backwards and forwards in and out of the app. The app would then link to a website with more details. The tablet at reception didn’t seem to work. The response was always very quick and I was able to check-in early as my room was ready. Hopefully they will improve. If you are looking for the key box it is at knee/shin height. I walked backwards and forward many times until I looked down and found it. There are no elevators in the building, so ask for rooms 101-105 if you have luggage you don’t want to lug upstairs. There was no washing machine powder/capsules, which might have been a greedy guest, but there are oodles of other cleaning equipment. You can not turn of the light from the bed. My room on the first floor had a door behind the bed head (I guess it was built for a single bed) which was a little drafty in the morning. The blinds are very fancy, but do not block the light from outside if you like a dark room. There are two large cabinets in the room, but I used them to put my luggage on top so I didn’t need to bend down. These are not in the photos. All the equipment was well maintained. It was spotlessly clean (like everything in Japan) There are bicycle rental shops nearby. I strongly recommend riding in Kyoto if the weather permits. There is no clear place for parking a bicycle. No options for a car (who has a car in Kyoto)

The check in process was non existent. I didn’t receive information from booking.com or the hotel on how to check in and was stuck outside the hotel for 2 hours trying to sort out what to do. I eventually had to turn on my phone data and be charged for international calls to try and sort it out- very disappointing. The room also had two of the smallest pillows I have ever seen that had no support and the most uncomfortable mattress ever. I sent an email asking for another pillow (there is no staff on sight) and they told me to unlock a closet in the hotel with a code - I could not find any closets but there were two lockers in our room that took up a ton of space marked not for guests do not use- that were unlocked and empty. Over all if I had received check in information I probably could have overlooked the other bits as it was a good location and clean but there is no customer services and I water half a day in Kyoto standing out front a hotel with no way to get inside

Location, quiet, clean

There is no elevator and this wasn’t disclosed when booking, we were placed on the third floor and had to carry 2 big suitcases up and down for our stay. Would not recommended staying here if you are traveling with large luggage or have issues with mobility/stairs. Bathroom was extremely small and wasn’t very clean, there wasn’t much room in the studio itself and there was two giant lockers in the room that you can’t use that took up half the floor space. There was a random door behind our bed frame that was unlocked and we didn’t know where it went too which felt a little unsafe, the bed itself was rather uncomfortable and we only had two very small thin pillows (we requested more but was denied.) The hotel has very thin walls, we could hear everything from the other rooms/hallways and it made it very hard to sleep.

Decent location, owner was responsive.

The room was overall too small and not as advertised. I expected a hotel and that wasn't what I got. Weren't off to a good start that my locker didn't wasn't labelled correctly and I hope you like carrying your heavy luggage up stairs because there's no elevator. You can everything coming from the hallway. If the rooms closest to yours are unlocking and locking their rooms, you'd think it was yours they're trying to get into. You have to climb into bed, literally. Between the very small desk and the bed, very little room to squeeze through and if you do manage that, you have to compose your balance and not hit your head or shoulders on the TV that's mounted on the wall. The desk is way too small. if you're above the height of about 5'7 you will not be able to tuck yourself under the table. My room had a random black cabinet that I wasn't even allowed to use but would have come in handy if I could. The drying function in the washing machine and in the bathroom were pretty useless and if you don't manage your time right and if this isn't your last stop before going home you maybe going to your next destination with stinky wet clothes.

It had decent toilet paper.
