Great hotel, loved the area as it was quiet and away from the crowds, but close enough for the grocery stores and eateries. The room itself was amazing and the bathroom was gorgeous. Would highly recommend this place and would stay again if I come back to Kyoto.

Loved that the room was extremely spacious and clean and that the beds were very comfortable. However it was very cold in the room with not much insulation so we definitely had to layer up to stay warm even with the heater on.

Clean and well looked after. Beds were a bit hard to sleep on and confusing instructions regarding disposal of garbage. Shower/bathing area excellent.

This is a self check in/check out so there is no staff or room service. The room itself is amazing and spacious. The bathroom is just as great! The beds were super comfortable! One of my favorite hotels! I will definitely be back. But keep in mind there is no elevator so I got lucky being on the second floor but if you have the third then you have to carry your luggage all the way up there.

If you are Japanese this is a very nice hotel with a hassle free self checkin. Avoid room 101 because you will be awaken whenever a guest on the upper floors drains their tub. If you hold a foreign passport look for another hotel. I will spare you the problems I had getting mine to them. Just look for a hotel with a human at the front desk. Good advice throughout Japan.

Buena decoración y comodidad.

La habitación muy amplia y limpia, camas cómodas y baño grande. La chica con la que nos encontramos en recepción el primer día muy maja nos explicó cómo entrar en la habitación, le quito una estrella por la localización no muy céntrica del hotel y la ausencia de personal y limpieza de habitación. Aún así es recomendable
