The one staff member at the front desk was AMAZING! She was attentive and great! Everything else at this hotel was more of a self-service than an actual hotel. Maybe they should advertise themselves as such and charge a lot less than what they do for what they are. From dirty and stained mattress to non existent room service and WiFi to soap bottle not bouncing back? I mean how cheap can a hotel be to reject a change of soap bottle and say "all the bottles are like this, they just dont bounce back". Basically when you pump the soap, the pump stays down. Thats the bottom of the barrel for a hotel. Even motels have springs in the soap pumps.

Was in a good area. Laundromat and 711 across the road. Walking distance from lots of restaurants and nishiki markets. No luggage hotel transfer which made it dofficult for us. Room needs some colour. So white. Cheap stay and good enough for a few nights.

Great Location/Excellent Hotel

Spotless facility in a perfect location. Next to a bus stop and the subway entrance is very close. The front desk staff are very helpful. Great places to eat all around. Very easy to walk to some of the major sites. Highly recommend.

Great area

We had a few nights here. Location was excellent right near the bus stop and a short walk into the Gion shopping area. Lots of choices for eating nearby and great French cafe 2 mins away that was open early for really good coffees. The room itself was fine….small but clean as was the bathroom. The only negative were the hard pillows. They made sleeping difficult. The hotel should invest in soft comfortable pillows. Also the blinds in our room needed some attention as they were damaged. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. overall good value for money.

Incredible value!

Absolutely amazing service - staff are so lovely, really helpful and great English. The hotel is in a great location and the room was honestly nicer than other hotels we’ve stayed in on our trip to Japan for almost 10 times the price!! Such good value. Would 100% stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto.
