Rooms are very small but the facilities makeup for that. You get breakfast included in the price which is a very good deal for the price. There is a Lawson right near the entrance for quick shopping. Kyoto station is a good 20 minutes walk.

I was very suprised to find that the hotel was open to the elements with no proper roof when you walk in the hallways for your room. Could easily flood on a stormy night.

Great value. Cold rooms because the heater turns off when you leave. Breakfast ends a little early for my liking. Good service except we had three people in our room and two pillows and when i asked for another pillow they said, "no".

5 or so min walk to Kujo metro station. Lawson store right next to hotel. Breakfast and dinner included in stay, which we weren’t aware of. Check in was slow and English was limited. Breakfast was ok for the convenience, dinner we only had once during our stay as obviously much better food in Kyoto! Room and bathroom very small and dated decor. No wardrobe or space to put your luggage so was difficult with our 5 night stay. Plenty of washing machines and tumble dryers. Would recommend only for a 1/2 night stay and you are price sensitive.

外観からみるより中はとても綺麗です。（ロビー、レストラン、大浴場、部屋） お部屋はあまり使われた形跡がなく、綺麗でソファがあるのが便利でした。 食事も19時位に行き女性なら十分に量があり、味も満足です。スタッフの対応もしっかりしていて、女性スタッフがいるのも安心でした。大浴場の脱衣所はクーラーがきき涼しくて快適ですが、アジア系の若い女性が体を洗わず湯船にそのまま入っていったので、英語で張り紙をして欲しいです。
