It was a great place to rest. Bus 26 stops right in front from the train station ,and the subway station is just 2 blocks away. Lots of restaurants nearby.

Property and room were very good. We didn’t like the pillows though. They were very hard. Otherwise we enjoyed the spacious room and location.

Clean and great location. Not much space for luggage but still value for money. Should make clear that there is extra charge for towels and pillows. when booked for a family of 4 only 2 sets are provided because it was a twin room. I would rather the fee for addition towels etc is added to the total cost of the room.

We stayed at this hotel for 4nights. The size of the room and washroom was good for a family of three. The bed and pillows was comfortable. The location of the hotel is accessible to subway/metro and bus station. It's also near 7-eleven and other restaurants. The staff was helpful and accommodating.

The check in is exactly at 3pm without exception. So at 3pm everyone that is waiting in the lobby lines up (and waits in the line) to resister. Flexibility of accessing rooms once they have been cleaned and checked would go a long way in improving their customer service.

Nice hotel in Kyoto. The facilities were all updated and the room was nice. The room was comfortable but a tiny bit crowded with 2 suitcases (typical of cities in Japan, though). One minor thing was the elevator - there is only 1 and no good access to stairs, so we had to wait a while a few times to be able to get up to the top floor. We did the breakfast a few days and there are limited options but the food was good and reasonably priced. Friendly staff with English skills. Hotel is in a good area, within a 30 minute walk to the heart of Gion and Nishiki market. Close to a few subway stops that will get you around the rest of the city.

Room and hotel felt dark and stuff
Is it just me? The hotel felt dark and stuffy. I was getting clarastrophic. I felt dizzy and couldnt breathe in the hotel. We were planning to stay for 6 nights but asked for a refund so we could move to a more open space. The best part was they were very nice and accommodating. They asked if we wanted a bigger room and ended up letting us cancel 4 nights.
