I was molested in Levain. I emailed Reno Hotel, but there was no reply.

As mentioned in other reviews, the room is large, the desk is large, and the chairs are nice. I had a comfortable stay, so I would like to stay again when I visit Kyoto again.Please note that the steps in the bathroom are quite high both outside and inside. I placed my slippers on it and took a photo as a guide to the height.There was a review from a year ago that said, ``There is no USB jack to charge your phone,'' but when I stayed there in early October 2024, there was one. I will also post a photo.

2 nights in twin single use. I can't say enough about the comfort of the room. It's definitely dark, but I think this is fine for a hotel. Although it's close to Hankyu Saiin Station, it's cheap for Kyoto. The only inconvenience I have to say is that the public bath is next to the gym, so you can't go there wearing indoor clothes and it closes early.

Close to the station. It's quiet and you can sleep soundly. I think it's a good hotel, although the spa does close early, so the public bath is sometimes difficult.

The room was clean and comfortable with a sofa.Furthermore, there is a 7-Eleven eat-in space on the first floor.Hamburger 🍔 shop, Yakiniku restaurant in the basement,There are izakaya and sushi restaurants nearby. The customer service at the front desk was kind.

I don't like dark rooms. A big cockroach appears. The sauna ends at 9 o'clock. If you don't like it, it's better to stop. ⚾️.
