"The hotel staff was lovely and spoke great English. It was easy to communicate with them. The room I booked was spacious compared to other Japanese hotels, so my partner and I were happy. The hotel is near a bus stop and a subway station that was central to most sites on our itinerary. The pillows were a bit small for my liking, but I would definitely book here again on my next trip to Kyoto."

2.5 star property

"Good place to stay just for sleeping if you’re out all day. Close proximity to Nijo Castle however best to take a bike from the hostel starting from 500 yen to travel around as trains and buses do get crowded during peak season. Beds are average and room is nothing particularly special. Bathrooms are clean and common area is nice. Make sure to make your own bed and remove sheets before checking out. Staff are friendly and helpful when required assistance. Overall a good place to stay,...
