Very new and clean. A little longer to walk from the rain station though. Staffs are friendly n check in and check out is easy. Check out timing at 10am is a little earlier than most hotel, no laundry facilities is one downside of the hotel.

Pleasant hotel nice room

Automatic check in out of hours which was a bit off a faff when tired, but worked fine. Great room and toiletries, no room service to tidy up for but clean towels every day. Reception had a shop open until 6pm and a microwave with cutlery etc. Staff were friendly and helpful when we checked out. Located near the main station and 15 min walk from the underground, 7-11 very close.

Basic budget Kyoto hotel

This is definintely a budget stay location. A short walk from the train station once you know where you are going. The rooms are smallish and basic and not that comfortable, although the automated access process may suit some travellers. Beds were a little form for our liking and the pillows insubstantial making the sleep quality not the best. The location is a little awkward from the station unless you get the right exit and it feels a little isolated to much of what is happening in Kyoto.

This hotel is located a few blocks away from Kyoto station. It is very easy to find and there are multiple bus options around. Keep in mind that after a certain time in the evening there is no receptionist and you will need to check in via a tablet. There is no room key and they provide a code instead (to get into your room and the hotel after hours). There is a mini “store” on the first floor which you can purchase quick items while a receptionist is there. Overall a great experience. I would definitely book this hotel in the future.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is in a quiet neighborhood situated only a few blocks from Kyoto Station. The entrance is small and looks like a small convenience store, and was a little hard to find. The staff saw us struggling and came to our aid. It was too early to check in so we stored our luggages which they later brought to our room. The hotel gave off vibes as a small family owned business with great service. The building feels new and the amenities were complete. It more than exceeded my expectations. I would stay again given the location, cleanliness, service and amenities.
