Convenient and relaxing
This hotel is welcoming and bright from the arrival at Reception lobby.
Staff are helpful and kind in a natural way.
Free soft and alcohol drinks from afternoon until the evening.
Nice range of toiletries to choose from by reception desk.
Very nice room. Different layout to what I expected, more like a ryokan but smaller and within a modern structure. Very conveniently located at walking distance from Kyoto Station

Amazing location, welcoming staff, delicious breakfast! The bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was great. We got the breakfast package which had great sashimi, Japanese and western options, pickles, salad bar, and sweets. The front desk and breakfast attendants were really nice and professional. Kyoto station is right around the corner which is a must.
Clean everything—the interior of the elevator was old, but everything else was nice.

The room I had was quite small, but the tremendous convenience of easy access to Kyoto Station was a huge plus. Additionally, the breakfast was superb! I also found the staff very nice and helpful.

Good hotel but ridiculously small bathroom
Good trendy hotel close to the station which is convenient for activities in that area. Friendly staff and good service. The room was ok, our only real complaint is that the bathroom was ridiculously small for the quality of the hotel.

If you are looking for a convenient clean and safe place to sleep this is it. Cons: very few bells and whistles, verysmall rooms, and prefabricated style bathrooms. Pros:The property is clean and staff is friendly, location is super convenient for train and subway travel, has coin laundry and breakfast. We are big people so a bit tight for us, but overall a great experience. Would recommend for anyone who is not giant and wants a basic place to satay.

Not recommended
Place was incredibly small, smaller than the rooms I’ve stayed in Tokyo. The sink was in the room and there was not even enough room to open the suitcase. The carpet had weird stains on it which I’m assuming is from the bathroom sink being in the room. The lobby had free drinks on the day which was nice. Over all I would not stay here again.

The front desk wasn’t providing helpful advice in a professional manner when we first arrived and inquired about parking.
The room and bed cleanliness can be improved.
