Obviously, this is not a 5 star property but it was 5 stars for what it was! It has a very hostel vibe to it - the main lobby area is very dark and “modern”. Our room was very spacious and clean, and we appreciated having a little table and chairs. They do not clean the room unless you stay longer than 4 nights, but amenities and towels are available to grab as needed so it wasn’t a problem for us. It was a convenient location for us, about a 10 minute walk from the centre area of Kyoto. It was nice to be able to grab a coffee as most places aren’t open early, but highly recommend Coyote coffee just across the street and Dining 603 (breakfast) a few blocks away.

Staff was very quick to rectify a leak in the water jug which had dampened the floor around our mini fridge. Great checkin and check out with online process and automatic door. Very streamlined. Big regret however is their one laundry machine per floor was not adequate, and on my floor there was none and it steamed the clothes in the dry cycle instead of drying them so we had to hang our clothes up to dry. Would have preferred a laundry room with many machines instead. Great coffee from the small bar attached.

Breakfast not served everyday--which was difficult as there is no other place nearby. Reception staff were not knowledgeable--resorted to google to search--which anyone can do! Bar also was not open everyday! No place to store luggage on the property. So you have to take it to their sister property!

Dirty! I had high expectations for this hotel however I was met with extreme disappointment and disgust. Long story short, our bedding was soiled with blood, and it caused my skin to completely breakout in hives. I was offered a two night stay refund for the inconvenience and they would not hear of a full refund.

Checkin process was very long and my key didn’t work - they forgot our door was malfunctioning and I received a physical key after two trips up and down. No cleaning service, they leave all supplies by the elevator. Clean, close to many attractions, front staff friendly and knowledgeable. Pretty far from subway station if you have to bring a lot of luggage (recommend taking a Grab/taxi).
