Such a perfect stay! At first we were concerned because there isn’t a dryer. No worries - just hang it in the bathroom and push the “dryer” button. Worked like a charm. They provide all the towels, soaps, shampoos and slipper - plus toothbrush/paste and brush if you need it. We just came from Tokyo and figured we’d have another small place but this place had so much room PLUS an elevator. And the staff was super friendly. We would definitely stay at this chain, given our awesome experience here. Domo Arigato for very clean, comfortable and well planned accommodations! Also - there’s a bus stop right outside your door to take you to the Kyoto station (perfect for when you’re traveling by backpacking lol!)

Quaint and comfortable place to stay. It felt more like an apartment than a hotel, which I really liked. Being able to do laundry during my trip was a big plus. Great location—close to trains and all the main attractions in Kyoto.

This hotel was perfect for our stay. The room was clean and came with a kitchenette and washing machine w/ 2 soap pods. The bathroom was more roomy than the other hotels we’ve stayed at. The room temp was adjustable and able to keep up with our needs. The bed and bedding were comfortable providing a good nights sleep. It was close to restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay here while visiting Kyoto. The hotel concierge were very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious enough for two people and I liked that we had a little kitchen area as well as a washer. Train station was nearby and location of hotel itself was central to a lot of the touristy spots we were visiting. Added bonus of having a Yamato luggage service directly across from the hotel (which I did not find out until right before our trip)!! Would definitely stay again when visiting Kyoto!

The staff was helpful with holding our bags prior to check in, and even brought hem to our room for us. The room itself was a bit tight for four, and they had a shelf at forehead height in the walkway area that could have been a bad head bump if you get up in the night to use the bathroom.

This company has check-in at a guest centre located a short walk from Kyoto Station where the staff were multi-lingual and very helpful and kind. We were able to leave our bags until check-in and also book a free shuttle service to our accommodation. The room itself and the beds were quite comfortable, and having a washing machine was awesome. This location in particular is quite close to some great places to eat and its about a 10 minute walk from Shijo station which gets you pretty much anywhere else. Great place to stay!!
