Disappointing but fine

When we arrived, we were given a room that clearly hadn't been cleaned. There were splatters and stains all over the walls and furniture. I asked for a new room and we got given it immediately, which was great. I will say the pictures are deceiving...we had a miniscule room with a window that looked at a wall. Good location for being central.

Good hotel but must have mobility.

Whilst aware of hotel distances from the subway, one especially feels the effort of moving luggages from hotel to subway to train station. Several bus stops around hotel vicinity. Be prepared if you want to stay here. Rooms are clean, new but small. Typical of Jap hotels.

A great little hotel in the center of Kyoto walking distance to most of the downtown attractions and endless number of restaurants. The staff is very professional, friendly and efficient. The rooms are small with a frosted window looking into the 2 ft space between buildings. However given the price , the location and the high quality of the rooms, furnishing and state of repair, this hotel is a great place to stay. The full set breakfast included was very different than what we usually eat for breakfast but all very good: fruit salad, croissant, eggs, bacon, chicken, fish seaweed, meat balls, potatoes, and salad!

The heat and humidity in Japan is oppressive. It is even worse in a small room with no air conditioning. The air conditioning unit in my room was not functioning. It created a small hot room that was nearly impossible to sleep in. I had to crack the door to let air in. When I raised this with staff, they said they would fix it. They did not. When I asked for a discount or some kind of recompense for the deeply unpleasant experience they said it would be impossible. I really don’t recommend you stay at this hotel. Unless you’re trying to lose 20lb in water weight and wake up dehydrated every morning.

The all-day free tea and spa water with coffee and tasty flavored breads for a free snack in the morning made for a great way to cool off in the summer heat and start the day. Also, the laundry was a nice convenience for longer stays. The hotel is 3 quick blocks from the Karasuma subway station (2 stops from the main Kyoto station) and an easy walk to major shopping opportunities (Pokemon center, Karasuma dori shops, etc.), and steps from several bus stops to hit most of the sightseeing in the city.

The hotel is new, clean and very nicely designed. It has some traditional elements, so it feels call. The breakfast is simple but good quality. There aren’t a lot of nice dining options in the area, so having breakfast in the hotel is very convenient. Although it is a bit of walk from the hotel to the subway station ( like 10 mins), but we would stay there again.
