Es war alles sauber und ordentlich, allerdings ist die Hälfte der Zimmer nur mit einer schmalen, nicht öffenbaren Fensterreihe ohne Ausblick ausgestattet und die Zimmer sind sehr klein. Obwohl wir mit Rucksäcken gereist sind, war die Größe an der Grenze. Das sollte man wissen, vorallem wenn man mit Koffern reist...

Excellent location with easy walking to many sites. Great bathroom amenities.
Satiated for two nights in a twin room with my teenage son. Small room but had everything we needed. Convenient location for Kiyomizu dera, a 15-20 mins walk. Very friendly hotel staff. Hotel served free yogurt and bun/cupcake for breakfast. Shampoos soap towels hair dryer toothbrush were provided.
Advantages
Location, location, location-shopping and dept stores (food), close (walking) to major area of temples and shrines (Gion), near transport via subway or buses.
Quiet to outside noises. Hall is noisy depending on guests but rooms are quiet.
Free breakfast of yoghurt and roll. Nothng special but last night at the dept store, you should have bought food for breakfast and it is in the frig for backup. If not, MaDonald’s, Starbucks, other stores a quick walk away.
Disadvantages
Only place to sit is on the bed. You have to be agile to handle structure of the room and poor lightswitch placement and have a healthy back.
No place to hang or store clothes. Have to keep everything packed in suitcase on the luggage stand.
No frills, claustrophobic with no window view (obscure glass).
Really only room for one person.
Have to climb steep stairs to get to office, then more to the room. Takes muscle to lug luggage.
Les chambres sont minuscules et il n'y a aucune armoire pour les vêtements.De plus,ouvrir une valise est impossible vu,justement,la petitesse de la chambre.
Perso,j'étais seule avec mes filles dans une chambre pour 4 personnes.Je n'ose imaginer 4 copains dans une telle chambre,cela serait invivable.
Le petit déj est un bout de pian avec un yaourt.
Pour le reste,propreté impeccable et personnel aussi,bien qu'une seule personne parle l'anglais.

The room was really tiny. Difficult for two people to maneuver around each other. The bathroom was lovely and big, should of made it smaller and given some extra to the bedroom. Was clean and new. Up two flights of stairs.
Ottimo hotel in zona centrale di Kyoto. Stanza piccola ma funzionale. Hotel pulito. Doccia molto comoda.

Great location, very poor hospitality
You actually did it!! As a frequent traveler in Japan like myself, the reception girl had THE WORST ever hospitality I have ever seen in Japan. I was not looking for heart warming greeting, but definitely not roll her eye at my wife and I when we checked in. I found it hard to believe a young Japanese lady served her customers with extremely rude attitude, I believe this is ridiculous and unacceptable especailly in Japan.
The hotel itself is alright, great location and very close to the shopping streets. It is pretty fresh too with model design, only the space is really limited. Shower room is great. One downside is sound insulation is very poor, cleaning services can easily wake me up in the morning.
I am sorry that I will not recommend this accommodation. You really have the good hardware, but it is always about the software and guests' experience.
The room is literally tiny and certainly not suitable for more than one person. Though it is relatively near to the train station, it is not the most convenient location leading to most attractions. Overall, we shortened our stay here and found a cheaper and much larger apartment with closer proximity to Kyoto station. In addition, the complimentary drink coupon is merely a discount ticket.
