The service and staff were exceptionally helpful. We enjoyed the breakfast and loved that it was next door to the metro station. Also located across from the Imperial Gardens. It was as such a good location and everyone was so kind. We will stay there again in the future ! Special thanks for the front desk staff man who helped us get a taxi today!!

We booked 2 rooms for my family of 6. The rooms are spacious with plenty of counter space and storage. Everything was clean and included slippers and PJ’s and all bathroom amenities. It was a great location for our base in Kyoto. The laundry was closed during our stay but there is a great laundromat about a 5 min walk away. The beds were a bit firm for my liking, but that’s more personal preference. There is a Family Mart just outside in the corner. There is also a McDonald’s and 7-11 across the street. They also have 6 different breakfast bento’s in the morning that looked good, but we chose to eat elsewhere as we are not big breakfast eaters. Overall a great stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The air-conditioning unit had black mold on it. We requested for it to be cleaned and were assured by staff that it would be, but it was never cleaned. There were times we had left rubbish neatly next to the bin to be cleaned when the room was cleaned and the bin was full, and everytime the extra rubbish wasn't taken. We ended up disposing of our own rubbish instead. There was maintenance taking place on the day we were meant to check out which meant that no late checkout was available and that no electronics such as the toilets or the lifts would be working. This was incredibly inconvenient and led us to check out a day early and move to a different hotel. Overall, we were highly disappointed with the service and cleanliness at this hotel and would unfortunately not stay again.

Lovely hotel; conveniently located

Great location. Lovely hotel steps from Marutamachi subway station. Good hub for buses also. Comfortable walk to sights (Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace). Extremely clean. Quiet, spacious room. Wonderful breakfast. (The only alternative for breakfast in the area was MacDonalds; other restaurants opened much later.) Helpful staff. Our family of 3 adults (2 parents & 1 adult child) had a room with 2 twin beds + bed sofa. Unfortunately, the bed sofa was too hard to sleep on, so our daughter used 1 twin bed while we shared the other twin bed. We had an extra duvet on each bed for extra padding. It was doable.
