Clean, well-equipped (washing machine, fridge and cooking hob in the room). The 2 single beds were comfortable and it was very quiet (did not once hear or see other guests). Buses right in front of the hotel which we used daily. Small, Japanese eatery across the street and a good burger joint around the corner.

We were a family of 4, the 2 sofabeds (which were made up into 2 single beds pushed together) did not provide any back support. The mattresses sunk in the middle, giving my children bad nights and bad backs. We turned the mattresses 90 degrees which meant that they kept banging their heads as the outer sides were higher than the middle where both beds meet… The room was too small to accommodate any furniture beyond a small coffee table, upon which we ate our meals and did all our planning /journaling.

Spacious (for Japanese standards) and very clean, it had everything we needed for our stay, including a washing machine, freedge with a small freezer compartment, a stovetop and some cooking utensils, a microwave and an electric kettle. VERY comfortable and good size beds, I slept like a baby. The staff was so polite, professional and happy to help and accommodate any of our needs. We would DEFINITELY stay there again. Overall great value for money.

The only thing that bothered us a bit was the setting of the air conditioner- it seemed to be centrally controlled and it was way too hot for our liking. Having said that - both myself and my kid prefer to sleep in a rather cooler room (we’re talking not more than 18-19 degrees Celsius/ around 65 Fahrenheit). So yeah, probably not a deal breaker for most.

This hotel has a bus stop at the door and up the road which make it easy to get anywhere you want to go. There are enough good places to eat within a 10 minute walk even for vegetarians. In fact, we had some of our best meals around here. We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel and its rooms are very clean and they have everything you need although they are compact, like most Japanese hotel rooms we stayed in. The staff were friendly, polite and helped us with transport information. Being able to check our luggage in early at the off site reception so it could be delivered to the hotel later that day meant we could sight see without wasting time.

Room with kitchenette. The position is directly next to the bus stop for/to the central Gion/Kawaramachi (also walkable 25min) and to/from the station. No restaurants around. We stayed in a sister hotel in Tokyo, which had a much larger room. Overall pleasant

Cleaning could be improved, especially under appliances.

The room was rather large, and very clean. I came equipped with a washing machine and a unique drying system. Staff wrote STANDING and would help with any of our questions. It was located near a bus stop that service several bus lines. It was easy to commute from there too many of the attractions of Kyoto. There were several restaurants within a short distance walk, including Indian, noodle restaurants, and wagyu beef restaurants.

It took us a little bit of time to find the hotel on the initial first visit. This because Google maps had it located in the wrong location so be cautious of that.

Quiet location behind the imperial gardens. The bus stop is conveniently located just outside. Fully equipped with a laundry machine and a CLEAN kitchen. The bathroom was wonderful and great to soak in after a long day of walking.

The location is about 40-60mins away from downtown, and there isn't much around the neighbourhood. If you're looking for a busy nightlife, this isn't for you. If you like somewhere quieter and more residential, this is a great location.

Loved the location of this hotel, close to Imperial Palace and the river; within walking distance of good restaurants, bakeries, a great Tofu Lab, the university neighborhood. There is even a burrito place across the street. We enjoyed walking the Philospher’s Path and a couple of shrines/temples on the other side of the river. Also enjoyed the walk to Nishiki Market. (Note: we are good walkers.)The apartment was very well-designed and organized. We really appreciated the washing machine and being able to use the shower as a clothes dryer. We did have to ask the attendant for bowls and larger plates for the kitchen; once he provided we had what we needed. The staff were very kind.

Our room was on the street, which was very noisy. It didn’t stop us from sleeping, but there was no real improving upon the noise. (Ear plugs recommended for sleeping.)

The apartment was well designed with room for luggage, a dining table with chairs and great facilities like washing machine and dryer. The bathroom was well designed. The staff were very friendly and very helpful and were able to make suggestions about dining and tourist sites etc.

Overall it was a great place to stay and from there it was easy to get around on public buses and metro. It is important to mention that the day pass on public transport does not cover the Hankyu Kyoto metro line so getting to Arashiyama Park to see the monkeys was not possible by train but is possible by metro

We loved the neighbourhood, quiet with plenty of eateries, parks and the river. We liked that we could get away from the tourist feeling here. The room was spacious and the washing machine in combination with the drying room was a plus.

The kitchen did not have any bowls for breakfast and staff could not provide them. We did not receive any cleaning during our 5 night stay on the day cleaning was promised (on the 4th morning). The walls in the bathroom and near the trash can could be cleaned more thoroughly.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. They provide every single need including a fitted kitchen, automatic washing machine, and bathroom as a dryer room. The bathroom has a small but adequate bathtub with a small TV attached to the wall of the bathroom. The toilet is amazing, heated toilet cover with front and back bidet. The unit is very clean. The mattress and duvet are super comfortable. The staff are excellent, one lady staff even helped me to call a taxi using her own personal phone. Amazing, amazing, amazing. 5/5 star. Such an excellent stay with a wonderful experience. I will definitely recommend this hotel to others.

None.
