This was a great hotel to stay in with a kitchenette and a washing machine in the room. The room was a much larger space than most Japan hotels.

Best walking location to see and do everything I wanted to in Gion and surrounds. Will return to stay here! My only dislike is that the male receptionist told me that there was no hotel phone he could use to help me call to change my flight :(

It was spacious and in a fantastic location close to shrines and metro and bus stops. The people at the front desk were wonderful.

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. I loved how the room included a washer for our dirty clothes. It was really convenient since our total trip to Japan was 15 days. The location of this hotel was also located near this really cute shopping street with a bunch of food places. We would definitely stay here again.
Nicole, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay here over the few days was great. Room and bathroom were spacious and the ability to do laundry all in the room was excellent. Really short walk to the subway station and walking distance to major shrines, shopping, dining and attractions. Definitely would stay again and absolutely recommend.

Good size room, excellent facilities. Such helpful staff
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location is truly excellent — the metro is just 1 minute away, several bus lines are nearby, and it’s easy to walk to most central attractions. The room itself was spacious, though the furniture felt a bit dated. The washing machine was very handy during our 11-day stay, and the air conditioning worked well. The kitchen, however, was only minimally stocked. A real highlight was the Customer Service Center near JR Kyoto: we were able to check in there, leave our luggage, and have it delivered to the room well before the official check-in time. This service made arrival smooth and stress-free. The main downside was the poor sound insulation. If you’re a light sleeper, be sure to request Level 3. We stayed on Level 2 and unfortunately had several noisy and unpleasant nights.

Highly recomend

The hotel is clean and very spacious. It is a 30 minutes walk from the main busy markets. We were able to leave our luggage before we were able to check in, that was very helpful.
Vean, 1-night trip

Well equipped and very clean facility for a family with elementary kids. Close to metro, grocery store, ice cream and small restaurants. Walkable to Gion and Kiyomizu-dera.
Cynthia, 2-night trip

Everything was amazing except for you could hear the noise from up above. The stomping and running around of kids or people staying right above you. We loved how everything was functional and useful
Lea, 3-night trip

The hotel is nice and clean. But there is not providing free luggage storage in the hotel after checking out as described when booking.

Set up like a small apartment. Very nice and very clean. There was a little construction noise next door, but overall it was a great place. Walking distance to many things.

10/10 Exceptional

Central NY comes to Kyoto.

Our stay was wonderful. Everybody was very welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect for what we wanted. Located in a quiet neighborhood with access to lots of shrines, temples, restaurants, subway, grocery store. The soaking tub and the washing machine were really nice amenities, and the heated toilet seat sold us on the whole deal.The only real issues were the security light kept going on and off because it was motion sense and there wasn’t any way to stop that so every time we moved it went on. Also the TV was in a very difficult situation to be able to use given the layout of the room. And lastly, there was no sitting area or small couch. But we did have two large beds in the room and otherwise everything was absolutely stunningly perfect.
