Not too bad, very clean and the location is great! The room was very small and a little bit uncomfortable though. There was no space to put the suitcases and moving around the room was difficult because of the narrow space. I wouldn't recommend it for a long stay, but for a couple of days it's nice.

Okay unit for the price.

Apartment in a quiet area, close to station and convenient store. Comfortable beds with the exception of the sofa bed which as very uncomfortable. Mini fridge was a plus. Unit was very tight for three even for Japan standards. No space for luggage. Carpet was stained throughout the unit. Walls had pen marks. Overall okay.

Close to restaurants, convenience stores & subway stations. Big spacious room with couches, fridge, microwave, cooking utensils & washing machine. Good size bathroom & strong shower. They charge you for all the little extras in the room (water, tea & coffee etc) if you use it, so bring your own. They do leave you detergent for 2 washes tho. You need to empty your own bins. The foyer area stank like insect repellent but the room was fine.

A cold water morning

No hot water the first morning. There’s a button panel in the kitchen you were supposed to push to start the heater. No signage, no explanation. How are you supposed to know that? Also, Taxi drivers had difficulty finding the hotel, even with their card map

It’s pretty far away from subway station. Went as a family trip with stroller and kids it was at least a 10-15 minute walk to closest station. Staff don’t speak English so be sure to have translation app ready. They don’t make sure bed or clean the rooms on a daily and will charge you a fee if you need anything extra. The beds were comfy and it’s nice to have a laundry machine just inside your suit, however no dryer so make sure you time air drying. There’s a mini kitchen so if you’re looking to stay awhile this is a great hotel if you don’t mind the walk. Family mart and 7/11 just 3-5 mins walk away.

観光にお金をかけたくて、こちらを予約致しました。 スタッフも丁寧な対応で気持ちが良く、お部屋もとても綺麗でした。 荷物の預かりも京都駅にて預かって頂くセンターがあり、着いてすぐに預け観光→宿に直行し、指定時間に部屋に荷物が届くという、とても便利なサービスでした。チェックアウト後も、京都駅がどこもロッカー空いてなく。困っていましたが、センターにて預かっていただく事が出来、本当に助かりました！ ただ一つ、ハンドソープがないのがこの御時世気になり近くのコンビニで購入してきました。 が、総合的には大満足です。 また機会があれば利用したいと思います。 いろいろと対応ありがとうございました！
