Great and modern looking hotel with lots of amenities! Room was small as expected with a W/D for convenience. Daily limited housekeeping with new towels/slippers and robes. The lobby staff was helpful in getting out lugggage forwarded to our next destination. Great complimentary coffee machine with choices of coffee throughout the day and nightly 2 selections of Sake to sample to end the night! The hotel was in a quiet and walkable neighborhood. We loved exploring the alleyways and walking to different locations in Kyoto! I would recommend this hotel! Will look into Tokyu Stay in other locations the next time we visit Japan! One of our favorite hotels!

Unfortunately, this hotel is well overdue for a major cleaning. I was moved across three different rooms. The first room smelled strongly of a sour mildew and I saw black mold growing the crevice of the curtains. The second room had a mild smell of the mildew but only ONE outlet worked in the room and it was at the entryway. The third room was somewhat acceptable after being switched. The smell of mildew seems to be all throughout the rooms which I believe is caused from the air conditioning system. At a quick glance, I noticed black mold spurs growing and MAJOR dust clinging (I mean like dust strings like birthday streamers) to the upper walls and ceilings. Because I was solo traveling, I decided to just sit through with it and I do deeply regret staying because I found myself sneezing quite a bit which I fully believe is from the black mold exposure. I understand for the price wise you can not expect some luxurious experience but I believe at bare minimum you should be able to expect a clean room. The staff did apologize profusely and did offer complimentary breakfast as an apology. Staff was understanding and quick to make the change without hesitation (wondering how often they have to deal with this). Unfortunately because of my experience, I would not recommend this location until deep cleaning and maintenance is done to correct the facilities and rooms.

Room and bathroom was very clean and very big for Japan standards. Bed was comfortable. I appreciated all the outlets and storage space. Lobby has free coffee, tea, sake, ice, water. Location convenient next to 7/11 and subway station. Yakisoba restaurant nearby was very good. I would 100% stay here again and recommend this hotel to everyone.

The bathroom had a bad smell, I’m guessing it’s from the pipes? Told hotel staff and they were friendly and helpful - but their solution didn’t fix the smell. Room was decent, relatively clean but cleaning services only did partial cleaning. Loved that there was a Starbucks within a block. The buffet breakfast was delicious!

Loved our stay here, a very welcoming staff and great room. The hotel was just off a more Main Street, but felt like it was miles away. Very walkable to some of the main dining options and shopping areas in Kyoto. Very walkable to the Gion District, Pontocho, izakayas, and more. Subway line very near to see all the temples/shrines. There's also a Starbucks and 7-11 really close by if needed! Highly recommend for the more budget travelled.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and room service was great. My room was more spacious than other hotels I’ve stayed at in Kyoto. The location is perfect with many dining options nearby and easy access to the train station. They even held my luggage after checkout so I could explore before leaving. Overall, a wonderful experience — highly recommend!

Very well placed, convenient for subway, shopping, restaurants and visitor attractions. Much better than the Tokyustay Ginza in facilities, where we were proor to this. Great gratis drinks of coffee, still and fizzy water and Sake. Breakfast, not included in room price and that offered by the adjoining restaurant an absolute rip off. All in all, very good for the price.
