The hotel charges premium rates and delivers a budget motel service . We had to clean our own room and then find somewhere to dispose our waste as the room was very small and cleaned only every third day, including garbage removal

The location was centralized that it allowed us to walk around town and visit the temples and shrines. It is also near a subway station. Our room was very small but very clean. And the staff was very helpful and friendly.They just need laundry service.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Perfect spot for transportation. My only disappointment was, they advertised laundry as it is available in the property. Let me tell you there is no laundry, hotel is referring to a laundry mart 15 minutes away. Because of this I have to mark them down for misrepresentation. Other than that, it’s a good spot with a friendly staff.

Let me preface this by saying: the staff and location were excellent. Knew going in this was an inexpensive hotel and aligned my expectations accordingly. Here’s what I have to say about the place: it’s like a well stocked dorm room and now you’re a couple months into the semester and the place feels dingy and dirty. They say they don’t do housekeeping daily for environmental reasons, but then you find a plastic bag on your door knob with towels and all sorts of toiletries wrapped in plastic. Honestly, I’d rather have the rug vacuumed and the stains on the walls washed off because I brought my own toothbrush and I don’t want more paper cups. If you do decide to stay here, and you’re a couple, I would recommend you select the room with the twin beds based on the square footage.

Great Location for a great Kyoto experience
Amazing location close to Gion and Shrines/Temples the river and a great variety of shopping and dining options. The bus stops close to the hotel and the train is a short walk. Rooms were small and cozy but had all the necessary amenities. Starbucks was on the first floor of the hotel with was also very convenient. It did not have a laundry on-site which was inconvenient so pack or buy extra cloths or plan trip to the local laundrymat.
