Everthing you need is either in the room or a few steps away. They have easy check in and out procedures in place and a nice 11 AM check out time. They also have a baggage holding room if you arrive early. The train station is only half a block away as well. If we come back this is where we'll be.

The property was great. I loved that everything was automated. I could check in myself and didn't need a hotel key card (a pin was issued to me which I input into the doorkey of the room). The room was clean and spacious. The shower area was great with very hot water. Hotel was located in a superb location for all activities in Kyoto. I would stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness
The location was amazing - the rooms were fine - I think expensive for what they were, but fine overall. I would suggest not booking rooms ending in 1 or 2 as these face the main street and we did not sleep very well at all. They also only provide a very small single pillow for each person.

Great, clean property. We liked that it was a 5-10 minute walk from tourist areas. It is located on a Main Street so our room could hear some traffic, but with so much walking, it certainly didn’t affect our sleep!

Reasonable Stay

The apartment was in good condition. The only room I didn't want was a basement room. This is what I got, despite not booking one and asking for a light room. The bedroom had no window at all. I was disappointed.
