I chose it because it was close to Kyoto Station and it was cheap.The room was smaller than I expected, but it wasn't a problem as I was only going to sleep.However, one thing to note is that you can hear the shower and drainage sounds from the rooms on the upper floor and on the left and right.I think it's worth the price.Also, the air conditioner in the room was unusable as the filter was full of dust and the inside was full of mold.Furthermore, although I could pick up free Wi-Fi, I was unable to connect to it.

The air conditioner filter was not cleaned at all. When I turned on the air conditioner, I couldn't stop sneezing and had a mysterious fever, so I couldn't sleep in the bedroom, so I slept sitting on the toilet in the bathroom. Also, when I submitted a review to Rakuten Travel, it was not published. I think it's a convenient response.Hell for those with rhinitis. Terror hotel.

I had some errands to do near Kyoto Station, and I was looking for a cheap hotel in a hurry and found this hotel.The price was 5,100 yen per person per night including breakfast, and I was very satisfied with the price, which I didn't expect to find so close to Kyoto Station.I think it has all the basic amenities and facilities you would expect from a so-called business hotel.The hotel itself and the room were very clean.The breakfast was very simple (I apologize for the half-eaten photo), but I saw the front desk staff working hard to prepare it in the morning, and I personally thought it was nice to have it included.The contents include bread, various drinks, soup, and mini instant ramen.I would like to use it again if I come nearby.

Staff were incredibly friendly and nice, as was the location near Kyoto station. My room s AC was half broken though and kept making noises throughout the night. Also they don't plug the fridge in before you get there so it took hours for it to get cold. Water pressure good though.

Although it is close to Kyoto Station, you can stay there at a relatively low price.The rooms are spacious for the price.The difficulty was that the shower was sluggish and it was difficult to control the temperature.There is also an individual air conditioner, and although I didn't eat it, it seems that a simple free breakfast is served from 7:00 to 9:00.
