The location of the hotel is great: close to the shopping area and tourist attractions, easy reachable by bus from the Kyoto Railway station. Fast check-in and check-out, helpful staff. Good place for short time stay in Kyoto.

Remember that the hotel is located in the busy district - of course, it could be noisy sometimes, depends where your room is, for us it wasn't a big problem, but for someone could be.

Location was the best value for money. Right over the Kawaramachi subway station on Shijo-dori, the main shopping street, and a 10-min walk from the Gion/Higashiyama district.

A breakfast restaurant would have been nice.

Location - right on the heart of Kyoto where the busy activities take place. But it is a little far from Kyoto station - with luggage I took the taxi there instead. Staff are SO friendly and fully conversational in English! They were also very helpful. Size is not bad too - good size compared to chain hotels in Japan.

It’s a relatively older hotel - so the amenities are older and the room layout is also very old. There’s some mold along the walls of the bath… just speaks to the age of the building.

Best location ever with reasonable price. Right on the major street of Kyoto, it's easy to access the most famous attraction like Gion, nishiki market, pontocho. Need a cup of coffee? Starbucks is right down floor.

The room door is quite low, and the bathroom is tiny as well. It may not be suitable for tall guys.

Great location that is a short walk to everything you need and easy for public transport and taxis. Super helpful staff. In an area full of great restaurants. Starbucks downstairs if you need a coffee fix

Location is awesome! Close to shopping and entertainment. Could leave bags there when we arrived early. Serviceable rooms, nothing fancy but location can't be beat.

Nothing. This place is great value for money.

Lawson and starbucks are next door, train is just below ur feet, bus stop is in front of the hotel. Location is just too good, foods are everywhere too. I hope they change the furniture inside the room coz it looks quite old, that's all. Nothing to complain. Just really enjoyed my stay.

No

location is AMAZING

the smell of cigarette in the room, it was sooo strong. to be fair, we didn’t report this to the front desk and encountered the same situation in Osaka at a different hotel, seems to be common in Japan

Location was fantastic for my needs. Right on the main street and not far from transport. Door is a little fun to find, but you're right in the middle of everything.

location, location, location!

we could smell smoke (possibly from someone smoking in their room) coming out of the air con vent on one night.
