Rooms are clean, staff is really nice and there's great coffee for free in the lobby. Hotel is just 5 min. walk from train station which is really convenient and you can easily walk to To-ji temple, Umekoji park and surrounding neighbourhoods.

The hotel was lovely and quiet at night and was an easy walk from Kyoto Station and surrounding shops and restaurants. A discreet front entrance makes an elegant first impression for this spotlessly clean hotel.

Although the quality of the bed was excellent, it is very firm and if you aren't expecting a very firm mattress when you're visiting Japan, you may be disappointed. For first time travellers to Japan, a couple is likely to find most hotel rooms very small and it can make it a place you only want to return to sleep in. This is typical of most hotels in Japan though and you need to plan where you place everything in the room.

The location was 5 minutes from the Kyoto station if you go out the haichoji side of the station and 2 minutes from Kujo station. Easy access to get to Kyoto main city was very easy and within a few stops. There is a family mart a minute walk from the hotel and a 7/11 and big electronics store within 4 minutes. They provide very nice free amenities like face wash, lotion, moisturiser, razors, toothbrush, umbrellas, coffee and tea for guests in the lobby. The triple room was very comfortable for a family of 2 adults and 2 children. They provide luggage storage if you arrive early or even when you checked out and want to explore the Kyoto more. They have luggage forwarding service as well. We didn’t use it but did enquire about it as they have someone at the desk until 12am. Once you have checked in and paid the Kyoto tourist tax which was about 200 yen per adult via the self check in/out system using the kiosk which was really simple.

The double room for a family of two adults and one child was a bit small when travelling with large suitcases but that’s expected in Japan.

The location is the best as it is 5 minutes walking distance to Kyoto station (if you exit from the other end of the staion it could be up to an 11 minute walk), and close to many mini marts such as 7-eleven and family mart. There is also a department store close by and a Daiso which is a 12 minute walk. The staff were very friendly and they kept our luggage for several hours before our check-in, which allowed us to visit many of Kyoto's sites during that time. We loved having 4 beds in the room which allowed each one of us a great night rest. On the downside, there was a bit limited space to move around which was ok for a short stay. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Great value for the money. As a woman traveling alone it was a relief to find that the location was easy to find, close to all public transport and sites, especially Kyoto station. I mainly walked to all the tourist sites and used the trains/busses for further sites. Lots of restaurants, shops, and everything you need nearby. Clean, quiet, you have everything you could need! You have to pay a separate tourist/tax/fee to their machine at the lobby. I'd recommend having Japanese translation apps on your phone also. There's ice, laundry, and vending machines in the lobby also. My basic room had wifi, a fridge, tv. These rooms are way smaller than Western hotels but average for the area. I definitely wouldn't put more than 2 people per room, unless you upgrade to something bigger.

Rooms were way smaller than what most of the world gives you but I think this is average for Japanese hotels.

There was no breakfast but coffe and tea is available For free in lobby 24 hrs. They do have vending machine and microwave by the lobby. Convenient store is just a walk a way and small restaurants are also close by. Suzuki and the other young guy was very accommodating and helpful especially when being asked for directions around town. You can store your luggage if you arrive early than check in time and store it within 24 hrs when you check out. Place is very clean and relatively new. It’s no more than 5 minutes walk from the Kyoto station.

None so far other than it would be nice if booking .com tuck in the per person tax that was mandatory extra pay beyond the consumption tax …it cost 200 yen per person Per day costing as an extra 1600 yen for 4 person in 2 days

The location is very good, it is close to the Kyoto station and mini market. There is coin laundry, a coffee machine, and tea on the first floor.

The tax payment should paid before checking in on the payment machine. It is a cheap tax (200 yen/person), but it is just uncomfortable to still deal with payment before check-in. The hotel gave a message about the tax after the booking was finished. Maybe it is better to inform in the description. When I stay in another hotel around Kyoto the tax is also a separate payment. It is just feeling uncomfortable. I stayed on the 5th floor and went to the first floor just to get coffee. Maybe it will be better to give the default coffee sachet in the room.

The staff that checked us in was EXTREMELY kind. The whole staff that worked there were all amazing people. The location is literally a 6 minute walk from Kyoto station, and it was sooo lively at night. I definitely recommend staying here if you go to Kyoto!

The toilets were a bit too small. They are bidet toilets and work like any other Japanese toilets. If you are a man, you probably have to adjust how you sit a bit to use the bathroom. Other than that, this place is amazing.

I wish we have stayed longer. The place is modern and clean. We stayed in a big family room with large comfortable beds. Few steps from Kyoto station, bus stations, and restaurants. The staff is very helpful. We asked the male staff (sorry forgot the name) about renting the kimono for our family and he gave us a recommendation and offered to call and reserved us our outfits. When we got there, they already know we're coming and accommodated us right away.

The property is just 5 minutes walk from Kyoto Station and that by itself is value for money. Kyoto Station by itself is wonderful and then there is JR Kyoto ISETAN!!! There are so many eateries nearby and we strongly recommend Coco Ichibanya (Coco Curry House) which is just around the corner. Of course, have to mention that the hotel provides Movie On Demand (free) which offers a variety of entertainment especially for non-Japanese visitors. And for the bonus, free coffee at the reception area :)
