    Pros +

    • Excellent customer service. Delicious buffet restaurant available in hotel for breakfast. The room was spacious and comfortable.
    • Great location close to Gion and Nishiki Night market and the train. Very nicely designed and maintained.
    • It closes to many sightseeing spots so you can get there earlier before the crowds arrive.

    Cons -

    • Nothing. We really liked this hotel.
    • Two bed room option has small beds full size I think so it was a little tight for my wife and I (our son was fine in the other bed).
    • The only improvement would be the strength of the air conditioner. The rooms were of adequate size, but the air conditioner couldn't keep up to cool the room enough.

    The hotel is very centrally located to shopping, transportation, dining, attractions. So much was within walking distance to historic sites and more shops than we could see in 2 days. The hotel lobby presentation, cleanliness, and staff were super helpful. Adjacent to a Starbucks for an early morning waffle and espresso. Our subway train stop brought us right to it.

    The only improvement would be the strength of the air conditioner. The rooms were of adequate size, but the air conditioner couldn't keep up to cool the room enough.

    8Leo A.Posted on: 10-24-2025

    Very close to everything: subway, a bus stop, convenience stores, cafés, even a Pokémon Center

    8CarmeloPosted on: 10-11-2025

    No breakfast. Location was good --- less than a hundred meters from the station!Front desk was courteous and pleasant, and quickly accommodated our request for extra bottles of water.

    9TomPosted on: 10-11-2025

    Clean and good room sizes. Very close to the station and lots of nice restaurants.

    No washing machines - expensive dry cleaning service only.

    9YvonnePosted on: 10-7-2025

    Very well located, near to Kyoto Railway Station and a metro stop closed to the hotel

    Maybe a bit old fashioned

    Oldish, breakfast

    4WONGPosted on: 9-5-2025

    The toilet is smelly and too smallNot separate the bath and washroom section

    8SiyunPosted on: 8-26-2025

    The hotel seems to have a glorious and luxurious past. The location is near the center and very close to a subway station. There are some restaurants nearby. The price is reasonable.

    The facilities are not new. The bathroom is small with a low ceiling.

    5ChristinePosted on: 8-19-2025

    near the train station and theres a lot of restaurants ang cafe around the hotel

    toilet is small and not so pleasant to see and there’s not enough plug outlet in the room

    8JasonPosted on: 7-27-2025

    Really good spot, close to two subway lines. Room was comfortable and staff were helpful.

    No easy laundry service. In order to do laundry guests are required to fill out a form and drop off their bag for the clothes to be sent to a nearby laundromat. Also charged by number of pieces.

    9WeitzuPosted on: 7-16-2025

    The location was awesome. Nice staff

    The room temperature was hot. Air conditioner was set to a temperature and you cannot adjust it.

    8SabinaPosted on: 7-5-2025

    Great location.. v close to the train station and konbinis. Staff was good and the rooms were clean.

    Carpet in room was outdated and had some stains. No onsite laundry but had to walk 5-10min which was fine.

    Friendly staff, room service, location, and cleanliness

    8MINEPosted on: 4-29-2025

    Good location, easy to access popular spots.

    The doors were opening with the keys not cards, there was no enough space for 3 people, small rooms.

    8Traveler0087Posted on: 4-26-2025

    The room was spacious, and staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location with Shijo station just a few minutes' walk away. There are many convenience stores nearby and a Starbucks next door. Great amenities available in room as well as free bottles of water each day and free Wi-Fi available.Got to the hotel early and was able to leave my luggage to explore before returning for check in. Hotel as meet my room requests.

    No laundry available. Air conditioner was set to warm and made the room warm and stuffy. Air conditioner temp could not be changed, and reception unlocked the window, however the window has a large opening which means unsafe if you have children in the room because it opens to a ledge on side of building. This was the only hotel to charge a city tax.
