京都駅からも近く、何処へ行くにも大変便利でした。 部屋も清潔で心地よく、2泊しましたが清掃不要を基本にしているのは好感が持てました。バスタオル、歯磨き用具、寝具ガウン等の交換は部屋の外のドアノブに掛けてありました。次回も利用したいと思います。

I love this hotel! This is my second time staying here. The service is great! The rooms are clean and comfortable and the wifi is great! The location is also convenient from the Kyoto station or to walk to Nishiki Market or Gion. The breakfast is the best part: fast service and absolutely delicious food!

Was a lovely hotel and staff was very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are very extremely small nothing staff can do about that but note that for if you book. Japan are known for small rooms but we were surprised at how small. This place was located 1 block from Kyoto station and walking distance to a lot of shopping and food.

Excellent location close to the station. I arrived late at night in Kyoto and knowing the hotel was 2 min away from the station was the best. Super convenient for those who are not spending more than 3 nights in Kyoto to go continue explore other cities in Japan.
