The rooms were very clean. Just enough space for luggage and hanging out in the room. Washrooms were clean and the tub was a nice size. The area is very convenient. Family Mart just around the corner. Not too far from Kyoto station, or the local subway.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I did not stay at the property. I reserved on line and walked directly over. The staff was surly and non comprehending. I cancelled my booking within half an hour of making it. I did not stay there and was charged $417 for a room I never used. I would appreciate your help in having my money refunded!

The hotel is average. first day we had the breakfast, food was cold. I think someone informed the staff re. Cold breakfast because they added the warmer the next day. Breakfast has lots of selection but if you stay more than 4 days, it will be monotonous. Super grocery store is just infront of the hotel with lots of great selection. Bust stop is few steps in front of the hotel and convenient to got to different attractions.

Nice sized room. Booked a room with 4 single beds and one was a cot which wasn’t ideal for an adult, but we were only there for 2 nights so we just managed with it. Good allergen labeling of breakfast food - would have liked more hot food options that weren’t meat and fish but again, we managed. Cleanliness seemed ok for any touch points. There was some mildewy areas in the bathroom corners, etc.

Great Stay
In my opinion, this was the perfect location for a hotel in Kyoto. It’s a few minutes away from a subway station and right next to a bus stop that can take you anywhere in the city. The hotel itself was really nice and clean, and the room was spacious.
