We have been traveling in Japan for more than two weeks now and this has been (so far) the hotel with the largest (by Japanese standards) and cleanest room. The room was between 12-14 m2 where it was very comfortable and you could also open your suitcases. Top air conditioning and even the bathroom was bigger than usual. At the reception everyone was friendly and efficient. Courtesy set, water, slippers, pajamas always present. Excellent cleanliness, location too. Super recommended

It's very close to the shopping area, but the sound insulation is not good, and there are noisy cars at night.

The blankets were washed and dried incorrectly and the whole room smelled bad. I was glad I stayed for one night/I was upset because the price was high.

What kind of temporary increase will be charged? The overseas fee is 200 per person per night, the hygiene is poor, the bed quilt has stains, and there are hairs on the sheets.

The location is very good. There are also Taiwanese people who can speak Chinese. The price is not expensive. I have no choice. It is very convenient to go to several nearby Kyoto attractions. It is about a 5-minute walk from the subway station and the environment is very quiet.

Hotel rooms are snotty. However, there are pretty restaurants, streets, and shopping centers nearby. I recommend it to young friends
