One of the worst hotels I’ve stayed in. Overcrowded. Staff is robotic. Check in / bag storage is horrendous. Room is too small for two people. Bed was against wall, so my partner had to crawl in and out. 6-inch step into bathroom, no, not tub, the room. Try that when unfamiliar in the middle of the night. Stairs are locked and inaccessible, so elevator wait times can be long. Advice in case of fire is to put a plastic bag over your head to avoid smoke inhalation. TV in room spouts hotel amenities; we were unable to figure out how to watch anything of interest. Environmentally unfriendly. Only plus I can think of is location.

This hotel has the basics, but by no means exceeded any expectations. Pillows and bedding were very uncomfortable and the bathroom felt like you were in a motor home with not enough space to put toiletries.

Great location - 5 minutes walk to Kyoto Station and Kyoto Tower Food Court. Breakfast has a good variety of Japanese and western food. Rooms are bigger than most Japanese hotels. Only negative thing is they only have centralized heating in the winter and we found the rooms too warm. But we kept the windows opened throughout the day to keep our room cool.

This is a very nice hotel with one exception. Like many things in Japan, corporate identity and groupism takes precedence over individualism. We asked for the AC to be turned on in our room and the hotel did it for a time. Then, they turned it off and our room got hot. We eventually turned off the heater and opened the window. The saying is true - 出る杭は打たれる.

We stayed here for 2 nights, the location itself was convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful. Check in and check out was easy and convenient. One thing I will say is, the elevators were always crowded AND the hallways felt very sturdy as the air was too hot for the temperature. I did like that they hold your luggage after you check out so you can continue exploring and you can return later for them.

Not being able to control the room temperature was a nightmare, we got no sleep as it was entirely too hot. Also allowing people to smoke right in front of the hotel entrance is disgusting and not a way you want to enter or leave the building.

Clean hotel. Looked new. If not new still looked new. I liked the ability to store luggage under the bed. Easy area to navigate. Not much in nightlife though, if you’re into that. Great for kicking off day trips due to location of hotel to station
