The staff was very helpful and friendly. It was easy to check in the room was clean. It’s very close to the train station which is the main reason for choosing this hotel. The bathroom is small but has everything you need. The room layout makes the most of the space.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The location of the hotel was really good. It was within walking distance to Kyoto Station (2-3 mins walk) and the Porta Dining area in the Station. There are a lot of malls close to the hotel if shopping is your thing. The room was too small for two people. Being able to get on and off the bed from only one side was not ideal for less agile individuals. Perhaps this size room could be offered only as a single. It was not as clean as other hotels I’ve stayed at. Staff were somewhat helpful and friendly.

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!

A nice quiet hotel that’s out of the way from traffic and noise. The staff made check in and check out easy, even helping me out with figuring out where the amenities are. The room was also clean and not too cramped.

Great property in an ideal location for transport. Staff are friendly and accommodating and the hotel generally is kept clean and welcoming. Our only slight negative was the room size however we knew this prior to booking so not a complaint in any way.

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.

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.
