Uncomfortable

I changed hotels midway through stay. I did not like this hotel. Never had pillows so uncomfortable, I couldn’t sleep. My room smelled of curry house downstairs. There was also political alt right propaganda in the hotel room. I then googled why this would be, the owner is a political activist for alt right so this hotel chain is politically allied. I did not like this as I’m an immigrant and have liberal values

Great property in an ideal location for transport. Staff are friendly and accommodating and the hotel generally is kept clean and welcoming. Our only slight negative was the room size however we knew this prior to booking so not a complaint in any way.

This was a great hotel to stay in during my first trip to Kyoto. The transportation options are great, as you can get to a bus stop without crossing a street, and Kyoto Station is a little over a block away. Dining options are abundant. There is a restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. Kyoto Station also has numerous dining options, a lot of which are open later compared to a lot of places in Kyoto. The bed large, especially for one person. I had enough room to store two, possibly 3 suitcases at the foot of the bed. The bathroom was nice and clean. I never once got any hint of cigarette smoke in the room, which is fantastic. The staff are all very kind. Y. Ishida is a particularly stand out staff member. She helped me with what I needed with a smile on her face, and I never had any communication issues with her. My only complaint was with the dryer in the laundry room. There are two washers and two dryers. The washer worked fine, but the right side dryer didn’t dry my clothes well at all, and it left a lot of leftover lint. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

A nice quiet hotel that’s out of the way from traffic and noise. The staff made check in and check out easy, even helping me out with figuring out where the amenities are. The room was also clean and not too cramped.

Excellent location close to the station. I arrived late at night in Kyoto and knowing the hotel was 2 min away from the station was the best. Super convenient for those who are not spending more than 3 nights in Kyoto to go continue explore other cities in Japan.
