We enjoyed our stay at this hotel! One major perk for us (traveling by car) was the garage parking and the ability to park the car earlier than check in and keep it a little later after check out, that was so helpful to us! We also loved the included breakfast (something for everyone) and felt like we had what we needed in our room, though we did find the shared twin bed to be extra small for two people to share, even by the expected Japan standards. Overall, the convenience of the location (proximity to train stations/tranquil neighborhood/familymart within 2min walk/on-site parking) made this a win for us and a place we’d come back to again on a visit to Kyoto!

Room was spacious enough for two. Staff were very helpful. Train station is a 6 minute walk away. Air conditioning was a bit hot but we just opened a window instead. The buffet wasn’t worth it in my opinion but there’s a Family Mart, restaurants and various bakeries nearby.

If you’re coming from cities where hotel rooms are more spacious, be prepared—rooms and bathrooms here in Japan can feel quite compact, even for a single guest. That said, this hotel makes up for it in many ways. It’s clean, well-maintained, and the front desk staff are exceptionally friendly and always willing to help or answer questions. Having a translation app handy definitely makes communication smoother. The breakfast is a standout, offering a wide variety of delicious options to start your day right. Overall, despite the smaller room size, the service and quality make it a great place to stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose this hotel again on my next visit to Kyoto.

The lobby and hallway are a little cramped and dated, but don't be fooled; they hide a clean, comfortable hotel room 5 minutes from the keihan line and 15 minutes from fushimi inari shrine. The staff were very kind and were patient with my slow Japanese as I checked in. Really a lovely stay.

This was further away from Kyoto than I realised. But the room was clean and the breakfast was great. There was a funny smell (damp I think), and the hotel rooms could do with a refresh, but it was fine for a couple of nights.

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.

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.

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.
