A place to rest your head

Start to finish was easy. Self check in was easy to do. Room was clean. Check out was just as easy. When all you need is a place to sleep this was a great room. It was also an efficiency unit . Stove , fridge , laundry. The only thing I found unusual was the TV was in the bathroom. WiFi was so so. Location for visiting temples in Kyoto was excellent .

Great for the location

Got 2 rooms for a total of 7 family members. The check-in process can be a bit frustrating as it's all done via an on-site iPad rather than through a human. Use the check-in code you receive via email to begin the process and then have the iPad take pictures of either the passports or Japanese residency cards of each individual. Once you do this, you get 1 code to enter the building and another code to enter your room. Unfortunately, I never received confirmation emails that contained the check-in codes for our 2 rooms, but luckily the phone in the lobby dials directly to the main office where an employee was able to help us check in. The rooms themselves are not your typical hotel rooms. Indeed, the building was an apartment building. No TV (I brought a projector, so it wasn't a problem for us), but you got separate rooms for the toilet and bath, fridge/microwave/washer/kitchenette, and lots of amenities. Rooms are clean and very secure. Doesn't have much floor space, but what budget hotel in Japan does? Pricing is competitive when you consider amenities, but standard hotels may be cheaper/better for some. Location is top-notch, a 2-minute walk from the Higashiyama metro station and within close proximity to Yasaka Shrine, Heian Shrine, and Kiyomizudera and the adjacent shopping streets to the south. Cons are the absolutely abysmal Wi-Fi (luckily I have a Japanese phone number) and lack of outlets for charging. Recommend you bring an extension cord.

清掃がひどすぎる

一階の部屋に滞在したのですが、午前11時ごろに出かけようと廊下に出た際、上の階から清掃中と思われる物音や中国語の話し声が聞こえてから、廊下の地面にシーツやタオルが降ってきました（廊下は屋外）。シーツ類はその後遅くとも14時過ぎまでそのままでした。あまりにも酷すぎます。部屋全体は綺麗に整ってはいましたが、ベッドサイドのデバイスが埃だらけだったりして、清掃の仕方に疑問が残ります。

Has NO staff! Would not recommend.

Once inside, the place was good, but be careful: This hotel has NO staff. You have to check-in on your own with an iPad that's on the front desk. I could not get into the place after I checked in. It was separated with an automatic door locked with a keypad. I didn't understand how to use the dialing pad. It was so frustrating. I called them on the phone that was on the front desk but I couldn't get in. Finally, after I got mad, they offered to go to the hotel to explain how to use it but they would take over 30 minutes to get there. I was very upset. Finally after around 30 minutes I managed to open the door before the staff arrived. Although I got a great deal on this hotel, I would NOT recommend it.

Don't expect much

This hotel gave me mixed reactions. There is no reception for check-in, you need a smartphone to get your password via email. Luckily, a staff Drona(i think) was around and very helpful. In terms of size and amenities it was great because it had a well equipped kitchenette and a washing machine. A smartphone was also provided with free calls and internet access. Location was great with many convenience stores and MacDonald within 1 min walk. This helped for long stays. However, the room doesn't have a TV in the room but in the toilet. The comforter covers were extremely dirty. The cups were not washed properly as there were coffee stains in them. Hot water for showering was intermittent.

Mooie locatie

Dit hotel lag op een prachtige locatie in Kyoto met de metro zo goed als naast de deur en enkele van de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden op nabije loopafstand. Staat van het hotel is goed te noemen. Een minpunt vind ik het geautomatiseerde in- en uitchecken middels een ipad bij de receptie. Dit is erg onpersoonlijk. Ook nemen ze als 1 vd weinige hotels geen bagage in bewaring als je te vroeg bent voor inchecken. Het vreemdste vond ik nog dat je bij moest betalen voor schoonmaak en schone handdoeken.

Great location

Great location; the hostel is situated within walking distance of the Philosopher's Walk in one direction and a large covered shopping district in the other direction. It is itself located in a small covered mall right beside the Higashiyama subway station. The room was cramped with a double bed and two single beds, but not as bad as some reviews had indicated. Since there is so much do see and do in Kyoto, we didn't spend a lot of time in the room; just doing laundry and sleeping. We were able to keep our luggage at the hostel after check-out to do some last minute shopping before taking the subway and train to Tokyo.
