You get what you pay for

The location is premier and the price is reasonable but you really get what you pay for. I asked for extra pillows and a blanket, which they didn’t have. You have to get lucky and hope there’s an Iron if you request it. The room was pretty small too. If I had to do it again, I’d pay a little extra for a different hotel

Amazing Stay in the Heart of Kyoto! I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Kyoto, with easy access to public transportation, restaurants, and many of the city’s top attractions. It made exploring the city incredibly convenient. The cleanliness of the hotel was outstanding. Everything from the lobby to the rooms was spotless and well-maintained. It’s clear that the staff takes great pride in keeping the place tidy and welcoming. Speaking of the staff, they were incredibly friendly, polite, and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their warm hospitality made a big difference. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto!

1. Staff at breakfast need hygiene, and English language training. 2. The inside of the coffee machine at breakfast was extremely dirty - hadn't been cleaned in weeks, as was the outside area. Same breakfast menu - each day for my 9 days there. 3. Room maids (Nepalese) stunk of body odor. While changing my pillow cases, the male maid used his neck area to tuck in the pillow into the pillow case - his neck was full of sweat. 4. The female maid didn't clean the actual toilet seat - I saw the same stains which was there prior to my check-in into the room. 5. The bath tub had old soap scum on the outside of the bathtub which also was there when I checked-in. The female maid didn't bother to clean it. 6. There was a noticeable semen stain on the lower part of the wall near my side of the bed, as well as on the carpet. It has dried and was stuck to the wall. 7. At breakfast, I showed the female baking the bread a long strand of hair in the bread basket - she did take it out but found it too funny, and then put more bread in the same basket. 8. The vent in the shower wasn't strong enough to clear the steam. 9. The AC in the room didn't have English writing making it hard to use the AC. 10. Elevators were jam-packed during checkout times - no stairs to go down stairs.

Fabulous location. Excellent, compact & impeccably clean rooms. Buffet Breakfast was a little light on options but still suitable given the hotels proximity to an abundance of dining alternatives. Staff were professional and courteous. All in all, and excellent stay.

I had the triple room with 3 beds. The room was large but the hotel is sandwiched between buildings with only 2 small frosted windows on one wall, so it felt dark without much natural light. This room was on a low floor, so I don’t know about higher rooms. The bathroom was extremely tiny with barely any space, with walls made of plastic. It reminded me of a portable bathroom. And it was 1 foot higher than the rest of the room, so you had to step up and down going in and out of it. Not ideal when you’re jet lagged and half asleep. And the shower curtain had a huge hand stain on it, which I don’t understand why they wouldn’t change the plastic curtain. As other reviewers mentioned, they don’t clean the room during a 3 night stay, so don’t expect any room service of any kind. There were stains and scuffs on the walls, microwave and floor. But the beds seemed clean. The 3 stars are mostly for the location, which is great, and the low cost of the rooms compared to other hotels in the area. It’s definitely a budget hotel, but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Our room smelled like cigarette smoke and there were no rooms available to switch into. It definitely seemed that the previous guests had smoked in the room and cleaning staff had turned over the room and not mentioned the smoke smell. Had we had any health issues this would have been a huge problem. The front desk worker was very nice and tried his best to help us, but unfortunately did not have the resources to remedy the situation. He was so nice we did not demand a refund for the night, but this was a very frustrating situation especially since this hotel is one of the few to not allow free cancellations or reservation changes at all. We spent the night in our smoke smelling room with the window open which was an issue since you're on the main road which is very loud at night. We were given a new room in the morning and were able to move in at 8:30 AM thankfully. Since our clothes smelled of cigarettes, we used the laundry services and despite being in the dryer for 2 hours, our clothes remained wet and we were forced to hang them around the room to air dry which was very difficult given the room size. More frustrating was a worker took our wet clothes out of the washer without asking so our laundry time extended another hour to wait for a machine to open up again. We received breakfast vouchers for the smoky room situation - I wouldn't recommend paying for the breakfast. Location was convenient, but loud at night. Bed and pillows were soft and comfy. Good size room.

We arrived and were immediately greeted by kind and enthusiastic staff. We stayed a total of 5 days, which half way through had room service. They had an assortment of amenities including tooth brushes, hair brushes, ext, as well as air conditioning, heating, kettle, tv, and decent size beds and rooms. They had laundry services as well. We found the surrounding area extremely easy to get to by tram or bus with a travel time of around 20min for most distance places. The city was beautiful. They had a restaurant attached, but there were so many other traditional Japanese food places to choose from. It was a really great experience. Would highly recommend.

Everything about this hotel was great, apart from the fact I didn’t sleep for the duration of my stay (3 nights) because of the insane amount of noise from the street. People, sirens and motorbikes revving all night. Not sure if it was just being I was on the street side or not, but recommend not to choose the city view rooms because of this. I understand it’s a main road and that’s what you get for choosing to stay there, but oh man, SO LOUD. Also better black out blinds would be good, just from the light from the street. Otherwise a nice room and great staff.
