    Pros +

    • The room is so clean and i can cooking, not far from bus stop.
    • I will not recommend this property. I had to book this hotel at the last minute. Stayed with kids for 2 nights in room 301Cons:1. The property is listed as 5* in booking.com, which is incorrect. Simple google search shows this as a 3* property. I have informed bookings.com team. This is more like Airbnb.2. Pictures are misleading. Property is dirty and beds are uncomfortable.3. Bathtub is tiny. A grown person can not sit in that bath tub.4. Everything decent is 20+ min bus ride (note buses are frequent)5. There's a massive gaming setup ... not sure why but it took lot of useful space5. Kitchenette is dirty, I would not cook food therePros:Checkin process is simple.Bus stops are 3-5 mins walk and buses are frequent There is a beautiful Shrine next to it
    • Even though it is unstaffed. There was always constant communication via bookings.com. was guided every step of the way.

    Cons -

    • Self check in and absolutely no information emailed to me. A kind random Japanese man that was a guest had to call twice to get me my room number and entry code for the deadbolt. Was not a good experience at all.
    • I'm staying for 3 nights and its noisy with something running from the upper floor

    Even though it is unstaffed. There was always constant communication via bookings.com. was guided every step of the way.

    The elevator and shared galleries were a bit unkept.

    10JoshPosted on: 6-15-2024

    Good sized unit, discounted rate for longer stays, lots of knickknacks for air quality, and generally very quiet. I would absolutely stay here again.

    Not particularly close to any subway or train stations. The fridge is also a bit small.

    8PeterPosted on: 6-12-2024

    The room was very nice and comfortable.

    The hot water wasn’t working when I went to take a shower. Turns out there’s a button in the kitchen area to turn on the hot water in the bathroom. It says never to turn it off, but it was off when we arrived. Also, the room safe wasn’t operational because the batteries were dead. Finally, I didn’t appreciate the sign by the window leading to the balcony that said “No Peeping” and “Don’t open the window”.

    Checking in and checking out was a breeze because there isn't a reception area. Staff were quick to answer any questions and the location is in a quiet neighborhood next to Seimei shrine. The car park is very close and there's also a bus stop in front of it!The room is spacious (perfect for up to 3 people) and the bathroom was wider than I had anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. The room was also very clean.Definitely recommend for short/weekly stays for those who don't mind using public transport to travel to the heart of Kyoto!

    7HollyPosted on: 4-5-2024

    The room was a decent size and it was just next to a beautiful little shrine. The room had a washing machine which came in handy.

    Beds are VERY firm so that's either a plus or a minus. The toilet area was extremely small so if you're a larger person, it would have been tough. The location is quite a walk from anything but that seems to be most of Kyoto. You will want Google Maps to help get you there. It was more like an airbnb in that there is no front desk or any personnel to help you with anything.

    it was very comfortable and spacious. the beds were very warm. the kitchen was equip enough to cook meals, except it didn't have a drying rack for the dishes so we had to get some dish cloths, and the vent was a bit far from the stove. the bathroom was big and clean. it also had a ventilation/drying system for your laundry to dry quicker.

    while it appeared very clean at the start, we would notice dust on the walls around the kitchen and eventually the vent clogged with dust. the bathroom would start smelling bad as it dries up but i think that's a problem with the pipe system. the location wasn't too convenient for transportation, but it was in a pleasant neighbourhood with a grocery and a 100 yen store nearby. another thing that may be an issue for people who don't speak japanese or have never lived in japan is that there are no instructions in english on how to run hot water, or adjust the airconditioner or the vent system in the bathroom.

    It was comfortable, clean and good location.

    I stayed for a week so it would have been nice to have some clean towels and some cleaning materials for sink, bath etc. The bed was extremely hard, I ended up sleeping on the sofa.

    10TheownerofthisaccountPosted on: 10-25-2023

    Clean and comfortable. Two convenience stores within 3 minute walk from the apartment. I enjoyed my stay here very much.

    9DavidPosted on: 5-30-2023

    Nice units, very clean and quiet.

    Not very close to the trains, busses took a long time due to all the stops

    5MohamedPosted on: 9-20-2022

    The interior was beautiful.

    location doesn’t have a place to park a vehicle , even for unloading the luggage. The TV didn’t work.

    9NicholasPosted on: 9-2-2022

    price/value, layout, equipment, location for my purposes will stay again soon

    required to leave 400yen tax as cash extra on table, why can’t that be included in the price? many people don’t carry cash or coins, like myself. i had to go make change to leave tax fee. it is better to just include from beginning. also, no staff on-site despite the current requirements in Kyoto September 2022

    It’s a self check-in villa. The room we were given had enough space for 5 people. There were appliances to use like washing machine and electric stove and available kitchen wares. Glad that they had wine glasses,too.

    No area to park your car for a stop to drop off bags. The road was too narrow. It was too cold in the toilet and bathroom. It could have been great if there were haircomb and showercap. There’s also a certain smell at the room’s genkan. I thought it was coming from the toilet, but it looks like it was from the garbage bins.

    8UnknownPosted on: 12-16-2020

    Price is reasonable and good location. Parking also near to the hotel.

    One of the WORST places I’ve ever stayed ☹️

    Extremely dirty, dust everywhere, food smell ?

    9JamesPosted on: 6-6-2024

    Really nice place to stay. A bit different to other places but the perfect place to relax and chillout in the city. Easy to access and find. Very comfy.
