Basic hotels, very reasonable price in Kyoto, the room is good size, with small refrigerator. They also provide some breakfast and dinner, not fancy food, but included in the room price, which is quite convenient

The room is very small, think of a cruise ship style room. It did include breakfast and dinner. This place met my budget.

Pretty small rooms. Quiet and reasonably clean. We are happy with their free breakfast, supper and public hot spring service, but their bed wasn't really comfortable though. It's better than Good but not yet Excellent. Will recommend to couples who want to spend less on travel for a ok recommendation.

Disliked: Cleanliness
今時、この値段で広い個室で朝食、夕食付き、部屋風呂のほかに大浴場まであるホテルは無いと思う。コスパは最高。 残念だったのは、ベッドに併設されたファブリックのソファがシミだらけで汚れてみえて、座る気も物を置く気にもならなかったこと。 せっかくのコスパ感が削がれる。
