I am not at all convinced by the Mystays chain and will definitely never go to their hotels again. Had several stays in their hotels in Japan and the rooms are all ancient, very musty and extremely uncomfortable. Everything upstairs by the air conditioner was dirty. Really very unpleasant when you think about breathing in the air that comes out of there. In addition, here in Kyoto we all had super dark and very small rooms. You looked out the window at a wall and even when the sun was shining there wasn't a bit of light in the room. Those who had rooms facing the street (main street) heard the constant street noise very strongly through the closed windows. Really only ok for sleeping but nothing more. The breakfast was ok but the breakfast room was far too small for the masses of guests and you sometimes had to wait forever before you even got to breakfast. The location of the hotel is really very good. All in all, definitely not recommended, there are so many other hotels on the street that are certainly better than this one... I was very happy and relieved when I was able to check out and finally leave the room behind me.

Lots of humidity, the floor was musky. You can smell the cigarette smoke from the 1980s. Not sure if other floors are better but you can tell by the rust on the bedframe. On the positive side the matcha is really good.
