Very spacious, double sink and large shower. Double beds, sitting area, space to walk around in room. No elevator so need to carry luggage up and down stairs. We were on 3rd floor and there is at least 4 floors. Limited staff hours. They can receive luggage transfer but cannot ship luggage - we walked 10 minutes to a Yomato station (friendly English speaking) who helped us ship to Osaka Yomato station. The room is carpeted, a bit of a funky smell. On our last night returning to hotel we saw a mouse run up lobby staircase handrail.

This hotel was an interesting stay. The staff is rarely present, however, they sent instructions on how to check in. The instructions were a little incorrect, but we figured it out eventually. We had luggage being forwarded, so the hotel staff was responsive through our hotels.com messaging system and they received our bags, but note you can not ship out from this hotel! The Family Mart across the street was able to forward our bags for us. The hotel is in a great, central location for sight seeing around Kyoto. It is a quiet area, but as soon as there is ANY noise outside, you can hear it as if it’s in your room. In addition, there is an older lady who lives nearby who we can only assume dislikes tourists, as she was screaming at people all hours of the day. The room however was fantastic and so spacious for Japan. Overall an interesting stay, but not a bad one!

This is well located with nice rooms and good atmosphere. There is no elevator so if you have accessibility issues, it is not for you. In Gion but on a quiet street so you can get to restaurants and shops but still get a good night's sleep.

Absolutely the best location - easy to get to so much of the treasures of Kyoto. Enjoyed sleeping on a tatami mat and futon in a room set for three. Towel size was fine for me, but a little small for larger folks.

Self check in - we were provided with a Japanese character but when we got there each room was named with English letters. Could not get a hold of anyone who worked there for 2 hours. Hotel was clean and spacious. Stairs to get to the rooms steep and awkward with luggage. Not all amenities they list available - had to request a microwave be put in common area to use and safe did not work - staff unsure how they worked either. Area quiet and out of the way - 7 minute walk to subway station.

Inside of the room was big and nice (especially the bathroom), but be aware there is no elevator and very limited staff. This hotel does not offer luggage delivery but the family mart located two minutes away does offer it. Also, they weren’t super clear about the room cleaning policy (you have to message them to receive cleaning which is definitely not typical for a hotel to do). The area the hotel was located in was very convenient. Overall it was okay, but be mindful of the limitations.

The entry to the hotel was easy. I couldn’t find the lounge or paperwork to properly sign in. The resident next door came out yelling if she even saw a foreigner near by. She scared my children and was completely over-the-top. The room was very nice but we would’ve liked an interior lock. The room was very stylish and comfortable.
