Hotel is in a quiet neighborhood. Lots of small cafe and restaurants options. About a 8 min walk to subway. I’d stay there again if I stay in Kyoto. The hotel room was very spacious and very clean. My family enjoyed our stay very much.

Perfect stay

The room was amazing! My girls loved the bunk beds and I loved the regular beds. Room size is huge, even by US standards- more like a suite with kitchenette. AC worked beautifully and blackout curtains were helpful for sleeping in a bit. Shower room is wonderful. Laundry facilities perfect! And little breakfast place next door was friendly and delicious! Would absolutely stay again!

Traveling with our two teens, we opted for the big room, two bunks, a nice open room with a big couch and table and a master room. Rooms had dividers, which was awesome. Beds comfortable, quiet, really cool coffee shop right next door. Would stay here again, I know kids liked it too.

Definitely a budget hotel

Family of 4. The room is a great size for Japan Fridge stove and all utensils you need to make your own breakfast. The front desk personnel are very polite and helpful and greet you everytime you come in. Great location close to supermarket and transit system. The negatives they preset and lock their ac units at 25 which is far too hot and very uncomfortable when sleeping. We asked for help twice and they could not fix it. I ended up having to mess with it and you have to change it in the settings that they disabled. Otherwise we would have been miserable the entire stay. A 5 night stay they only clean room once. You can get clean towels everyday but you have to put them outside of hotel room door. They have a (3) washer dryer machine, and they get quite busy.
