We had a great stay here. The room was large and the hotel was lovely with friendly staff. It was well positioned to wander to the shops or jump on the subway. Such great value for money.

Decent hotel”
The decor is rather 80's. Including the key used to unlock room door (it is actually a key, not an access card). Room is standard with a small bathroom. Overall cleanness is great, but as it is an older hotel, there are weird smell in the bathroom (believe to be from the pipe)
Staff were very friendly. Location is great.

Room was really clean and located well in the center of Kyoto, with easy access to many popular areas. There’s an elevator next to the hotel that leads to Shijo station so it was convenient for people with heavy luggage. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay here.

Within walking distance to Nishiki Market, Gion and Shopping district. Very close to the subway giving you acces to Karasuma and Hankyu lines.

It is convenient to go to different viewsites due to the railway station is only few minutes away from hotel.
I booked Common twin room on internet. When my friend and i checked in, the staff let us choose between the common one and the japanese style. we chose the Japanese style, and the room was larger, also clean and comfortable. I appreciated it very much.
The staff who served us on the first day was lovely and polite.
