Great for solo travelers learning Japanese

Has a library that boasts an impressive collection of new and old manga. Guests can borrow up to 10 books at a time. Almost all the manga are in Japanese. If you do not know Japanese or not learning Japanese, I feel this is a completely missed opportunity. Breakfast is a Japanese bento box with miso soup. The breakfast is very healthy containing a hodgepodge of rice and pickled vegetables. The breakfast is low on meat, usually it's a single meatball and a slice of cooked fish. The hotel room is tiny, so people who are taller than 6 ft or have a lot of luggage might find it difficult to navigate. The beds here are EXTREMELY firm. I like sleeping on firm beds so it was not a problem for me. Also did not like the position of the air condition which blows directly towards the bed. I had to turn if off to avoid freezing while asleep. To rooftop space is small and not very practical for reading. It gets very sunny up there and there is no shade. Hotel has definitely seen some better days, noticed the ceiling of my room had cracks and there is a noticeable stink when the staff are cleaning the rooms.

Good value for money

I stayed here a few nights in April 2025. I had a generally positive experience as the room was clean and orderly and everything functioned well. It was definitely value for money. Only caveat was it was particularly hot while I was staying there so had to keep the blinds down in my room during my stay and sometimes the wifi wouldn't work very well. The free breakfast was fine, but might need to let them know you are vegetarian beforehand as I only really had the miso soup at breakfast.

The price is reasonable for a really convenient location, near the Nijo castle and train station. Beds extremely hard, but the staff so friendly. Breakfast was traditional and good but the same every day so just be aware.

Friendly, helpful staff

Good location. Friendly, helpful staff. Japanese breakfast. Hundreds if not thousands of comics/manga—mostly Japanese but small English selection. Shopping street/shotengai and two conbini practically next door. No hesitation in staying again.

Got the corner window room which was a very lucky thing for me since it seems to be always sold out. While the room is quite small, as to be expected with a lot of hotels in Japan, it is in a very good location next to Nijo Castle and Sanjo Shotengai. Not sure why this hotel charged me more tourist tax than my other stays in Kansai but it wasn't too much. Was also a great location for local bike rental drop off but be noted that the bicycle parking is in back and has no camera. Would like to return here on future trips to Kyoto. Try Gomaya Crepe-Do at the nearby shotengai for made to order sesame crepes. Very delicious!

This hotel is situated next to the famous Nijo Castle, with several bus stops and subway station just a quick stroll away. Additionally, the nearby ramen restaurant offers a deliciously chewy ramen that is definitely worth sampling.
