Great reception staff and would be fine for one overnight but we were there for a few days and felt very claustrophobic in a room with no natural light.

Very busy location, this hotel is right in the heart of downtown so it was very accessible to dining and shopping which was great however the hotel itself is a bit outdated and not the cleanest. The washroom was very small and squishy, and the room itself does not have much space to open up your luggage. You could also hear people in the hallways so it was sometimes very noisy. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great!

We had a lovely stay and the hotel is really nice, especially location and connections to all key tourist sights. The only concern I had were the very small/short pillows which made sleep very uncomfortable.

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.
