Great value. Washroom was divided into 3 utilitarian spaces that could be used simultaneously - toilet, wash-basin and shower/bathtub; very convenient for 2+ travellers who might share the room.

The room is a nice size and clean. Did not use the laundry as it’s always full, but there is coin laundry across the road. The were some issues with breakfast, they tried to solve it. Will definitely consider to stay at this hotel again when we are back in Kyoto.

Absolutely beautiful place. 2 minute walk to trains. Not very close to restaurants but easy to catch an uber or go for a walk. You can hire a car right across the road. Coming from Australia, I found Kyoto extremely safe and so clean. Lots to see around the area. The rooms were very clean, staff were lovely. I would stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was great. Rooms were clean and functional. Small, but that’s normal for Japan. Staff was excellent and helpful. Location was great. Close to the train station and easy to get around and access to food and shopping. The only gripe I had was even though the breakfast buffet states they close at 10am, they actually stop serving and taking away food at 9:30. This was not told to me when we paid for the buffet at 9:15. If we had known we only had 15 min to get food and eat, we would have opted for an alternative breakfast.

The front desk staff could be more patient with guests, especially since many of us speak different languages. Two front desk ladies seemed quite impatient when she had trouble understanding English, and her tone made the interaction very uncomfortable.

An excellent hotel. Clean, spacious, lots of gpod quality amenities, free snacks and drinks every day near reception, free bottled water in the room. Great, roomy bathroom with bath tub, shower, sink and toilet all separated. It also has a great location near the Kyoto station but a bit tucked away from the crowds which is ideal. Highly recommended!
