​An exceptional stay! The location is perfect, and the hotel is kept in pristine condition. The Western-sized room was wonderfully spacious and comfortable. Combined with a highly professional staff and the unbeatable convenience of an in-room washer and microwave, this hotel is a fantastic choice.

We loved how central this hotel was. Right in the heart of the Kyoto shopping district, steps away from the Nishiki market. We loved the sweet staff and our room was spacious and inexpensive! The smoking room was always clean and we loved the complimentary sake. Arigato Gozaimasu!

Loved how large the room was! Loved the in-room washing machine/dryer. The location was unbeatable - right in heart of several street markets and steps away from the train station. The only downside was that there was a smell coming from the washing machine - given it’s front loading, it needs to be left open after use, but I think it’s always left closed?

This hotel is located in a great area. It is right next to the shopping streets and within 5mins of the subway station entrance and bus stations. About a 10-15 minute walk to Gion. The hotel was clean and beds were comfortable. Loved having a washer/dryer combo in the room. It actually died clothes much better than others I have used. The people working the best were so friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

First experience with tokyu stay. Vloqn away by the cleanliness, design and space of the room and the price for what we got. Better than a 5 star hotel. Sound proofing was amazing. Even free drinks in the lobby. Washing machine was also a dryer and was clean as new and extremely quiet to run. Definitely would stay again

Newish hotel right in the heart of Kyoto. (In the massive mall shopping district) Short walk to everything. Very new and neat and clean. Reasonable prices. Comfortable room and beds. Bath and washer/dryer in the room. No room service etc but with the mall at the front door with any type of food imaginable there is no need. We had 3 lovely nights while on vacation. Would stay again!

There was sitting available and even an origami how to book to keep people entertained. There was also a washer/dryer machine right in our room which made laundry super convenient and free!

Hotel staff were very helpful specially with directions , restaurant recommendations. Hotel anticipated traveler's needs. Basic necessities like toiletries are provided and if you need more it’s just in the lobby. Laundry can be done in the room. Property was well maintained and clean. Literally steps away from shopping and near Nishiki Market. It’s a 12 min Taxi ride from the Kyoto Station.

Fantastic hotel in such an amazing location!! Literally steps from a massive shopping and food district. So convenient. The hotel was very modern and clean. We stayed in a room with a washer/dryer and small kitchenette area with dining table. We loved that the hotel offered free coffee/lattes from early in the morning until late at night. They also had a little refrigerator in the lobby with complimentary sodas. They also had wine or sake that I think was also complimentary but I am not certain because no one in our party drinks alcohol. The staff was very friendly too. I would highly recommend this hotel and would most definitely stay there again if I am ever back in Kyoto.
