Great hotel near Kyoto Station. They offer free drinks, wine, and snacks in the evening, which I loved. Overall, very clean and modern, and the rooms were surprisingly spacious for Japan! The price was definitely fair.

I've been to a lot of Richmond hotels, but this one's rooms are spacious and good.I call it the station, but I guess it's a bit of a walk. I haven't had breakfast since I have decided to eat at Daiichi Asahi Honten, but the breakfasts in Richmond, Kagoshima, Fukuyama, etc. are very delicious, so I think the one in front of Kyoto Station is also delicious. By the way, the building next door is a restaurant that serves delicious shellfish soup ramen, and there was a line forming by 6:30 in the morning.There is also a convenience store one block away, so it's convenient.

Two people stayed in the premier room. It was a large room (40m2) that could accommodate up to 4 people, but it didn't feel as spacious as I thought. I felt that the arrangement of the bed and other furniture was not efficient. 😥 Oh, the bathroom was separate from the toilet, so it was convenient.I had previously requested a quiet room, but I couldn't stop the noise between floors.😅 There was quite a bit of thumping noise from the upstairs. It wasn't that bad during my stay, but please keep in mind that there will be ups and downs.The performance of the home refrigerator, which has separate amenities and freezer and refrigerator compartments, was very good. Additionally, my room type was equipped with a Refa dryer, flat iron, and bong straightener. The dryer worked really well, and the hair oil products they provided were also great, so I was able to have healthy hair throughout my trip🥹 Also, there was a staff member who could speak Korean during check-in. You are very kind.The distance from Kyoto Station seems to take about 8 minutes if you drag a suitcase. It was neither particularly far nor too close, and there was no inconvenience.

A very good value accommodation! The location and cleanliness were particularly good, and the automated service process was also very good. However, I do not recommend happy hour, which offers free alcohol in the evening. The quality of the alcoholic beverages is low and the snacks are very poor. Rather go to a nearby izakaya.

I used it for the first time yesterday! !It was my birthday on the day I stayed, and my boyfriend gave me a lot of surprises without telling me ^^I was very happy to hear that the staff at the front desk asked for their help many times. It's been a wonderful birthday ^^The welcome service was delayed by a day, coasters were made for me even though it was off-hours, and there was a birthday card from the hotel in my room, which made me very happy.It was truly a wonderful hotel from beginning to end, and I would like to use it again when I come to Kyoto.Thank you so much!
