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.

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.

最上階の部屋だったからか、シャワーの水圧が低すぎてあまりお湯が出てこなかった。エアコンが温度設定できないタイプであったり、便座が冷たいタイプであったり設備の古さは否めない。ベッドは大きく寝心地も良いが、その分部屋が狭くなっている。その他は普通。
