It’s close to metro and JR line. Very convenient. The complementary cream and shower body towel are great. Overall, it’s a great place to stay. I will book it again if I come to Tokyo.

Stayed here for 3 nights and it was great! Location was perfect, just 2 mins walk from the metro and quiet yet close to the city centre. Room was great, yes it was small but thoughtfully designed (I love the nightlight feature!) and the futon was extremely comfortable. Breakfast not bad and great value. Bathrooms were OK, showers were perfecty fine and well-maintained but I do wish the toilets came with a seat cleaning spray for hygiene (especially as they're shared). Would stay again!

More of a Hostel design, shared bathrooms with other guests, however the bathrooms were modern and clean. The room was very small, just for sleeping, also common shared washrooms with other guests. Location was near access to subway and within walking of the main shopping areas.

A very simple but effective hotel that I’d love to of stayed longer in. The beds was extremely comfortable and while not the most spacious, was definitely a nice place to rest and relax in.

If you’re going to stay in Kyoto this is a good choice. Good location & accommodating staff. Close enough to Kyoto station to walk and directly next to subway line and bus. Elevator if you have heavy luggage. Easy check in with machine. Nice lobby and shower rooms. The rooms are smaller but very cute.

I really liked the hotel; the staff was very attentive. The only thing that could be improved is the bathrooms, which could be a bit cleaner. Other than that, the hotel was excellent and centrally located.
