Was in a good area. Laundromat and 711 across the road. Walking distance from lots of restaurants and nishiki markets. No luggage hotel transfer which made it dofficult for us. Room needs some colour. So white. Cheap stay and good enough for a few nights.

Great room and location, had everything we needed.

We stayed 8 nights in the room with the queen bed. It was exactly as described, spacious and with a great view of the city. There is free coffee and a table at the reception. The bus stop is close by and it is a great location overall. Checking in and out was easy, the staff is nice and helpful. There are black-out shades in the bedroom windows, but it doesn't get very dark, so I would recommend bringing an eye mask to sleep better.

The one staff member at the front desk was AMAZING! She was attentive and great! Everything else at this hotel was more of a self-service than an actual hotel. Maybe they should advertise themselves as such and charge a lot less than what they do for what they are. From dirty and stained mattress to non existent room service and WiFi to soap bottle not bouncing back? I mean how cheap can a hotel be to reject a change of soap bottle and say "all the bottles are like this, they just dont bounce back". Basically when you pump the soap, the pump stays down. Thats the bottom of the barrel for a hotel. Even motels have springs in the soap pumps.

Hotel carino. Il prezzo è dovuto al fatto che le camere non vengono sistemate quotidianamente; gli asciugamani devi metterli tu fuori in un cesto se vuoi che ti vengano cambiati. Comunque soddisfatta. Nelle vicinanze c’è un 7eleven e altri market per cui si può facilmente prendere qualcosa da mangiare nei pressi dell’hotel e mangiarlo nella zona comune, provvista di tavolo, forno a microonde, acqua fresca e macchina per il tè. 20 minuti a piedi dalla Kyoto station e con tante linee di bus che passano proprio accanto all’uscita.

Great area

We had a few nights here. Location was excellent right near the bus stop and a short walk into the Gion shopping area. Lots of choices for eating nearby and great French cafe 2 mins away that was open early for really good coffees. The room itself was fine….small but clean as was the bathroom. The only negative were the hard pillows. They made sleeping difficult. The hotel should invest in soft comfortable pillows. Also the blinds in our room needed some attention as they were damaged. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. overall good value for money.
