A must stay! I started each day with a good breakfast and ended with a heavenly soak in the ladies bath (tattoos are prohibited). They provided new towels and bed clothes daily, and amenities are available at the front desk whenever you need. There's a bus stop just across the street, and Nishiki Market and other shopping spots are close by if you'd rather walk. I hope to be back again some day.

Loved location. Surrounded by all local buses and located at the base of the major shopping street - Shijo Dori. Can walk up it or take the bus. Also lots of good places to eat around the neighborhood. This is my third stay here.

I randomly picked this hotel without looking at a map so it was about a 10 minutes walk from the subway. Without a suitcase this is fine. The bed was not so comfy, more firm than anything but the room and facilities were lovely and it was an easy walk to sites.

Stayed only for one night but very good exprience outside of the issue where the inside of the fridge smelled terrible. I put my food inside as it was necessary and it came out smelling like rotten food / the smelly type of beer. Some other reviews mentioned the fridge issue, so perhaps we just were unlucky.

The location was excellent. Two minutes walk from several local bus stops taking you to all the temples and shrines and even to Kyoto station bypassing the need to take the busy subways. Fifteen minutes walk to the centre of Kyoto’s main shopping district. As a sole traveller I was given a spacious room with two beds. The only complaint was the mattresses were very hard.
