    The hotel is very clean and the staffs are very friendly and helpful. It is located near Kyoto station, very convenient.

    10TuanPosted on: 5-28-2025

    The hotel is steps away from the Kyoto station, very convenient. The staff is friendly. The breakfast is phenomenal. Definitely recommend!

    10Ching Y.Posted on: 4-30-2025

    The room was spacious, the beds were comfortable, the whole place was clean, and a drinks bar!

    The bed was so hard and uncomfortable. Although the hotel rooms in Japan are small , this room was just that bit too small. Luckily we didn’t have to spend to much time in the room as we were out exploring.

    9SerenaPosted on: 4-28-2025

    A cozy, centrally located little hotel. The rooms are small, but nothing is missing. Goof breakfast.

    9AnniePosted on: 4-4-2025

    The location was ideal, close to Kyoto station. Staff at hotel was welcoming and attentive. The facilities were modern and everything functioned well. Our room was compact and very tidy. Breakfast included a generous selection of both western and Japanese food. Free afternoon tea/coffee and drinks were available for guests.

    The room was rather small for a couple travelling with two large suitcases. It was necessary to decide what to take out of the suitcases for a day or two and then store them under the bed, as floor space was minimal. With less luggage there wouldn't be a problem. Overall, the room was lovely and even had a view.

    10RitaPosted on: 3-19-2025

    We loved our stay! Good location close to train station. 7/11 is few steps away. Quite despite proximity to train station. Comfy bed, nice pyjama, plenty of face/body/hair care products. But the best part was wonderful breakfast, really recommend to enjoy it.

    9BeatricePosted on: 3-15-2025

    A relatively new hotel that was comfortable. The room was the standard small for Japan. Very close to the train station which was convenient for me coming late and leaving the next day.

    I would not chose to stay close to the train station if you are exploring Kyoto as most attractions are relatively far from it. I had no issue with the hotel.

    10NatashaPosted on: 3-5-2025

    Walking distance from Kyoto Station. Property is clean, spacious and bright lobby area with lots of seating area. Room is small usual Japan hotel standard.

    9JoshuaPosted on: 2-16-2025

    - The staff are one of the most friendliest people you will ever meet- Amenities are plentiful and they do look after you during my stay- Location has plentiful places to eat and explore, it is near Kyoto station as well so the convenience is a bonus- The entire hotel is clean and tidy

    Nothing, I would absolutely stay here again

    7WeiPosted on: 1-7-2025

    Location is quite convenient and there's 7-11 just next to the hotel. Room was clean and everything is just in the right place with ingenuity. Though no clean service is provided for the guest who stay over two nights, it was not big problem since the clean towels were available.

    8ItsmejtPosted on: 1-1-2025

    Buffet breakfast was good value for money. Dishes were varied.

    The front desk staff Ahn insisted that she had given me the breakfast coupons that I paid for and I said otherwise. I dont understand why she had to argue with me for 10mins (there were 4 coupons for our group of 4) when there would be.no benefit to us at all if I were lying. We were gonna stay for one night only. The hotel should train their staff on how to handle such conflicts ànd to always think of the customer's position while balancing with the hotel's interest.

    Great location very near the Kyoto train station. Comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast (recommend getting the breakfast!), and an excellent staff. Bonus - I could open the window in my room enough to let in fresh, cool air. A favorite stay during my trip!

    10SedaPosted on: 10-5-2024

    I LOVED it there!!! It was so beautiful and the bed was so big and cozy. The toilets were also high-tech and were also amazing! I really loved how near it was to the train station and all the sightseeing areas. I will definitely book this hotel again if I visit Kyoto!
