Accessible to all location as it's just beside train and bus station
Chose this hotel for a final quick overnight enroute to Kansai airport. Easy access to shopping and dining downtown. The room is a little small for longer stays. Staff were very nice and patient with our questions and requests. Would recommend!
Everything was great.
Small but clean , good place to travel.near bus. Station and subway station, best location in Kyoto.
Very close to many places especially the train station. Will return..

3 times at this hotel”
Twice at this location and once at the Annex. This hotel is getting run down. The walls were scuffed, carpet grungy and the overall room is a bit dingy. I have stayed in 3 other hotels in the area and would opt to do that next year. The breakfast choices have gotten worse and not worth the extra fee. Big disappointment this year.

Going down hill fast”
I have been to Kyoto countless times and have stayed at various hotels. I have stayed here once about 4 years ago and this hotel hasn’t aged well. The furniture is old, the walls are scuffed and everything seems musty and worn out. The bathroom fixtures are old and even the Toto toilet has a lever to flush not a button. Time for a refurbishing. The breakfast which you pay for with your room is an embarrassment compared to even the business hotels. Selection is small and bad. Avoid it if at all possible.

Great service, great location”
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed my stay here. I expected it to be average, but the service was great. I arrived at 12:30 but check-in was at 2:00, so I left my luggage and went for lunch. When I got back at 2:00, my room was ready and my luggage was in the room already. That was a nice touch! Kyoto Tower is located right across from the main Kyoto Station, so I just got off Shinkansen, crossed the street, and was there! It was a hot day, 38 degrees (about 100 Fahrenheit) and I’m so glad I picked this hotel for its convenient access from the train. The lobby is on the 8th floor, that’s one quirk you should be aware of. Go up, check in, and you’re all set. They also give discount tickets to go up Kyoto Tower, which is above the hotel, and to the public bath in the basement level. Both are well worth the cost of ¥400 ( about $4USD).
