Great location near Kyoto station so convenient for everything. Staff were accommodating. The room was a good size for three people with a full sized bath tub. Breakfast was varied with something for everyone. The hotel had laundry machines for an additional charge and free storage lockers and drinks in reception during the day. Overall a great experience!

Great location! Avanti Mall, the train station, and several bus stops were all within a five-minute walk, which made getting around very easy. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. We were a group of six and stayed three people per room. The rooms were a good size, and we didn't feel cramped at all. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family!

Perfect hotel in a great location a block and a half away from the East Gate at Kyoto Station. Beautiful interior decor and rooms were clean and functional. Beds incredibly comfortable and bathroom, separate toilet and bathing room were spacious. For those who care, 3 Konbinis (convenience stores) within a block and numerous dining options. CoCo Curry literally across street for quick bite. Staff incredibly professional and accommodating. Easy to get to mass transit and catch a cab. Will stay here again if visiting Kyoto again. Laundry machines a bonus, able to easily take care of a tedious chore.
