Basic hotel with all the essentials provided. Highly recommended if you just need a hotel for staying over at night. Excellent location with a 7-11 round the corner and a minute’s walk from the station. We did not book breakfast as there are plenty of choices outside.

The first room I was booked in had a terribly funky odor. Thankfully the staff was understanding, investigated, and provided me with a new room. The breakfast buffet is nice with a lot of options. And the public bath is also nice, but can get a little over crowded with the limited size and amount of guests, even on a weekday at midnight. The ventilation/air was very dirty, it looks like the filters don't get cleaned often and are very dusty.

Exactly why you would expect from this type of Japanese hotel - clean, efficiently run with typically compact rooms. What stood out were the thermal baths, the extensive buffet breakfast (included in the price) and its location next to the main station - ideal for transport connections.

Check-in is via a automated kiosk. The kiosk was unable to process a foreign (US) credit card. I was directed to the front desk, which seemed at a loss of what to do. It took sometime, but after about 20 or so minutes, they were able to take my VISA card.

Great base for exploring Kyoto.

The location of this hotel is perfect. Coming from KIX, the airport bus stops on the opposite side of the road so you only need to cross. There are numerous conbini within a 5-7 mins walk and Kyoto bus and main train station are just as close by. The staff here were pleasant and helpful when I needed to ship my luggage to Tokyo. A couple of areas to improve though, behind the TV was very dusty (I had a Chromecast that I wanted to plug in but didn't in the end), bathrooms need toilet brushes and there should be a mechanism to override and remove clothes if someone has left their laundry in the machine. My biggest gripe was there are 4 machines in each of the laundry rooms (2 in the main building and 1 in the other)..the hotel caters to a large number of people so it's very selfish when someone leaves their washed and dried laundry in a machine for 91 mins (it poss was slightly more but when I checked a while later it had been removed). As you lock the door with a unique 4 digit number , reception are unable to do anything. It would be helpful if the system was changed to asking for room numbers (over a unique set of numbers)or your key card was used to beep and secure the machine. This would enable reception to trace people and call them. It seems ridiculous that reception can not do anything ! It was quite annoying as esp when other machines are in use
