The Tatami experience was great although was not expecting the very thin futons to sleep on the floor. Be mindful of that!! The employees gave us extra futons which helped , but was never like a regular mattress. There is an actual landury with a washer and dryer in place to complete you own laundry.

The property is about 7min from the nearest subway station. It is located a couple subway stops away from shopping stores and restaurants, and Kyoto Station. The hotel stored our luggage after check-out so we could get to see the city before we had to go. The room was spacious and could keep 4 suitcases open at the same time.

DO NOT STAY!!!! The guy working in the lobby/reception is rude, combative, yelling and harassing. He wanted to kick us out for being approx 10 minutes late with a 1 year old baby out in the cold without allowing him to get dressed (we were mostly packed). Then was yelling at us on multiple occasions. TERRIBLE customer services. Better - super scary, combative, super RUDE. DO NOT STAY HERE, UNSAFE! Also, they do not ever clean anything.

We stayed in the signature family suite with 5 beds. We had a great stay there! We loved the layout and the modern design mixed with traditional elements. Pros: spacious room for large families, spacious washroom, generally clean, quiet, staff speaks English, relaxing atmosphere. Cons: small elevator (only 1), a bit of a walk to subway, there is a bus stop in front but Kyoto busses can get very crowded. We don't mind walking so not a big issue for us. Definitely would stay there again!

It’s basically an upscale hostel. Staff is full of English speaking foreigners who like to be left alone and quick to say “no” to requests. The “Hotel” doesn’t offer anything, just a couple of q-tips, comb and slippers. Luggage service is next door, they don’t help with that either. Location is ok, 10-15 min walk to station convenience store around the corner and a couple good restaurants close by. Room is super tight if you travel with a stroller, the 3 legged table was a hazard for my 1 and 3 yo. We stayed 7 days and they cleaned the room twice. Should have paid a bit more and stayed at an actual hotel.
