Great value for money, smallish room but seems to be the way in Japan. Loved the shower with great water pressure. There is a lounge area but is only open from 5pm and they shut the drinks machine off at 8pm. Walkable to lots of places.

Oct 24: We stayed here for 3 nights £78 pn. The rooms were small but it seems to be the normal in Japan. The shower was great with very powerful pressure ✅.Reception staff were always helpful and we were allowed to check in early. Air conditioning was also very good.The only slight negative point was the limited access to the “dining room” which was closed for no apparent reason a lot of the time. Also the “free” soft drinks and coffee in the dining room are only available between 5pm and 8 pm, that needs to be changed. Thanks for a lovely stay 👍.

The place is very modern. The elevator corridor in the ground floor just reek of cigarette smell with a no smoking sign. But overall the place is good.

There is a large public bath on the second floor, so it is great for long walks.It's great because it's right near the station and bus stop.Friendly reception, good room service, the room is a bit small so it's a bit difficult to unpack your suitcase, but the convenience store right in front is very good.

The hotel was in a good location in terms of transportation and we booked the hotel with breakfast included, but there was only a Japanese breakfast for breakfast, there were very few options, so those who come will be more satisfied if they buy without breakfast.

Quiet hotel, very convenient location with bus stop practically in front.Breakfast was very bad, with always the same choices of what to eat.My personal opinion, I wouldn't go back at all, as I had very different expectations.Regarding the room, it is small with an efficient bathroom with standard comfort.

There is a bus stop and a 7-11 in front of the hotel, which is very convenient. It takes more than 20 minutes to walk from Kyoto Station, and it is not far from the 2019 Express. The hotel also has a bathhouse where you can take a bath👍👍
