Aaron

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This was a tale of 2 properties. The staff and food were great, the property itself was marginal. Very tiny room, no hot water on arrival (fixed by staff), very noisy bathroom fan, but worst of all, some kind of god-awful industrial burnt-wire, overflowing ashtray smell that would pervade the room in the middle of the night. And it wasn't just us. Others mentioned it too. It would eventually go away with the bathroom extraction fan running flat out but it took at least an hour and it was in the middle of the night, so sleep was affected. And with pillows like sand bags, that didn't help. I wouldn't stay here again.

Pros- Friendly and helpful staff Well maintained Good location (near to Fushimi Inari) Allows keeping luggage for few hours after checkout Cons- Hotel doesn't provide water bottles in room. Though they have water dispenser available in the reception. Compact rooms but I guess that's common for Japan.

It is an older building but the actual facilities were physically clean and the staff service was top notch. The hallways and rooms had a very musty smell which did not go away. It was slightly inconvenient to move around with luggage but it was chosen for its affordable price and close proximity to the Fushimi Inari Shrine (10-15 minute walk). It mostly a residential neighbourhood so it's very quiet.

Nothing of interest really close by. A good 10 minute walk to Inari but thats only worth a visit once. Handy for the transport. My room had a terrible smoke smell on the firat night. The whole floor did. I spent the night coughing. I complained the next morning and requested a move saying i would return by 9pm. To their credit they moved my belongings to a room on a dufferent oor and it was far better.

This hotel is well located if you're planning to go to the Inari temple (one thousand doors temple). It has a subway station nearby, which is very convenient. Breakfast was great! My only complain is that the first day we arrived, the hall and rooms had a strong incense smell that we almost confused with cigarette (it was that strong, though not cigarette). It was gone the rest of the stay, but it was weird. The hair dryer is a small one, so if you have a lot of hair, it'll take a while. The staff was super nice and friendly and answered all our questions. There are a few restaurants nearby, though we usually ate around the places we were sightseeing.
