    Pros +

    • Breakfast was amazing! A huge plus from several vegetarian/vegan options, both for breakfast and dinner
    • Great location, not too far from main attractions and lots of great local cafes and restaurants around
    • The hotel, the staff, the design, the lobby.

    Cons -

    • The room had a weird smell. As if someone used to smoke there and they tried to cover it. Sounds from the streets could be heard quite well all the way to the 4th floor through the ventilation ducts.
    • Room cleaning was not very thorough, they only seemed to empty the garbage and fold the towels.
    • There was no telephone in the room so if you need just a simple question you need to prepare yourself and go to the reception/lobby. The rooms were really small.

    Basic hotel in Kyoto.

    Pictures are better than reality, facillities are elementary, with a feeling of cheap things all around, reception personnel very sour. It has a backpackers facility vibe. Breakfast is some fixed option you can choose from, not very good. Also quite far from main point if interest. Room is actual a floor for beds with no space for luggages. Price is high for what they offer, we also stayed in Kyoto at another hotel, brand new,, more central, for the same money, and this doesn't even compare with that one.

    Very central, friendly staff great coffee around the corner

    10KatarinaPosted on: 5-26-2024

    Perfect breakfest, excellent location, friendly staff

    9ConniPosted on: 5-25-2024

    The room and restroom are clean and spacious enough for me. The bed, comforter, and pillow are so comfortable.

    9RobertPosted on: 5-25-2024

    nice new hotel for a small space bathroom very well set out

    the breakfast was terrible

    10Lea S.Posted on: 5-23-2024

    Clean, spacious, modern, chic and heart warming hotel at reasonable price... with friendly staff. We borrow the iron and try the free sake

    10ThePosted on: 5-22-2024

    Very friendly staff, clean rooms, and wonderful bar.

    Everything was good!

    8AnjaPosted on: 5-22-2024

    Great location, free sake tasting in the bar area, friendly staff.

    9Cintia J.Posted on: 5-21-2024

    Good location next the metro station, very comfy beds, all amenities.

    9EvelinaPosted on: 5-19-2024

    Great location, very friendly and helpful staff. It’s great that you can leave your luggage before the check-in and after the check-out. Delicious breakfast.

    10RyxannePosted on: 5-18-2024

    I liked how aesthetically-looking this hotel is - the room, the hallway, the lobby are superb. Also the staff are friendly. They offer you free sake at the bar, they even have an espresso machine free of use. The location is nearby bus and train stations. Very convenient.

    10DerekPosted on: 5-18-2024

    Love the free coffee, sake and amenities offered here. Everyone was so helpful and felt like they wanted to help you. Hotel was located nearby eateries so walking was no problem. Local bars nearby as well as their own. We didn't get a chance since we were always coming back late from the day. I would totally look this location again the next time I'm in Kyoto

    Nothing. It was a great experience at this hotel.

    10MarianaPosted on: 5-17-2024

    The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean and the size was okay. They helped us forward our luggage. I will definitely stay here again when I come back. Loved it.

    9PavelPosted on: 5-16-2024

    Room was big enough for one person. Location is quite good, it's not far from the station.The hotel was clean and I loved the option to sit down at the bar at the reception and enjoy a coctail with my friends, there were even discounts for guests

    The rooms with bunkbeds were less comfortable and the beds were creaking.

    9MarkPosted on: 5-16-2024

    We stayed here for 3 nights in a traditional Japanese room. The cost was around 16000 yen per night including breakfast. Location isn’t bad, there is a short walk to the Metro station. There are some bars and restaurants nearby but the main tourist area and Nishiki market is maybe 10-15 minute walk. One night it was raining so we took an Uber for 1500 yen. The room was large and had very clean. The traditional bed was surprisingly comfy. Bathroom had great shower and again spotless. Breakfast was 10/10, well nice and choice of 6 dishes. There is a hotel bar which offers free Sake to guests. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

    No kettle in the room No laundry.

    Location and friendly staff

    Small room. No space to leave luggage

    7AnetaPosted on: 5-15-2024

    I loved the location of this hotel, pretty walkable to anything, close metro stop, very close big conbini. A lot of varieties for breakfast and great quality. Big bonus was free sake for guests :)

    We got very unlucky with the room, because they gave us top floor room where we couldnt open window for some fresh air. Once we requested window handle, we found out window opens all the way, and if u forget about ut and lean on it... well u can imagine, because they were huge windows. Besides this amazing hotel!
