What guests are saying:
Was good
We had a fairly large room with kitchen and washing machine. There was an apple tv, blue tooth speaker and a handy guide to take out with us with free calls and internet. Couldn't have asked for more for our money!
The room is big enough but the bed is a bit small for 4 pax. Easier to come with bus. Will consider this hotel if go Kyoto in future.
The place is very near to Gion Bus Station, near sannenzaka.
The room is like an apartment, have 2 double beds, TV, kitchen, washing machine, but still have a lot of space to open up luggage.
I would say it's a bargain
It was the BEST hotel around the giyomizudera and sannenzaka. Everything was clean and you can use the laundry machine, kitchen in your room. To the Yasaka jinja, it's 10 minutes by walking. I would definately stay here again if I go to kyoto next time.
Biggest hotel we've stayed at in Kyoto. It has a kitchen which comes with equipped with utensils though we didn't use it as you wouldn't really have time to cook for yourself after all the sightseeing.

Above average”
1. Shuttle bus location is not clear at all. We cannot catch the shuttle bus.
2. When we entered the hotel room, we saw a big cockroach walking across the room, which is so scary and unexpected. Although we killed it finally, we felt uncomfortable throughout the stay, feeling that the room is unclean.
3. Good attitude of the staff. Quick and polite response.

Worth the Yen”
The one major negative was that you could not leave your bags at the hotel (they want you to bring it to the office which is very far). The staff made many errors with my payment as well (one in particular was unprofessional) but it seems to have been solved. The staff at the hotel were very kind! The area is great and there is lots of room.

Good quality hotel”
First time staying in Kyoto on holiday. Hotel is located in a good location within 10 minutes walk of the nearest train station. Convenience stores, restaurants and local sightseeing all within walking distance.
Easy to use self check in/ out set up with no formal reception.
Room was perfect for our needs with a large bed (bed was hard however), good appliances (washing machine, fridge etc). All rooms were clean and to a good standard.
Another positive was the free to use mobile phone with free data, very useful for using google maps etc.
Would highly reccomend and will be staying again next time we're in Kyoto

Very easy and convenient check-in, spacious room for group of 3-4, complete basic facilities”
Our check in was quick and very convenient. They use codes instead of keys, which I liked. We were a group of 3, but the room had adequate space. I think it would still be enough for a group of 4. The room was clean and had a complete set of basic travel needs. Although, the phone that came with the room was not very useful because it was quite slow and hard to use (maybe because I'm not used to Android). But it was not a problem because we had our pocket wifi. Our check-out was also very speedy and convenient. They also provided free luggage storage, but you will have to go to their office, which was very near Kyoto Station.

The rooms were quite spacious and clean. For some reason we didn't the cleaners didn't change our bedsheets, make our beds, or take out the garbage. They simply left extra towels. Because we only staying 2 nights it wasn't a big deal. None the less the washrooms were clean. Be mindful that there's no elevators so if you have big luggages the staircase is quite narrow!
