For access to Kyoto Station, I traveled to a location two stations away on the Karasuyama Line, and you can also come and go by car for 1,000 yen a day, although you have to report each time to the front desk.I think it's convenient because you can do sightseeing in Kyoto from the hotel, both by train and car.The room was clean and there was no smell.In the morning, you can enjoy obanzai in the Buche style.I think the price will be cheaper if it doesn't come out on weekends, soThis is a hotel that will give you total satisfaction.*Updated in 2024. It's a popular prefecture with foreigners, so there are a lot of foreigners, although there are some things that can't be helped. If you have a particular hustle and don't like groups, you need to make a self-judgment.

I used it for consecutive nights.The public bath has carbonated water, so you can soothe your tired body after walking all day.You can use the laundry, which is convenient for traveling.The room was clean and you could see Kyoto Tower from the large window.Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is located 2 subway stops from Kyoto Station and a 15 minute walk.Good access. It was great to be able to visit Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in the morning and evening.All the staff were very kind.

The room is very satisfactory, has everything and is comfortable. It’s not far from Jujo, but the location is a bit off. The price is right. I will stay here again next time!

I often use it when I go on business trips to Kyoto.This hotel is suitable for both business and private purposes.I once invited a customer from work and they were very happy. Also, the breakfast was delicious and the room was clean.Next time, I'm going to stay with Kami-san.

I think it's conveniently located right next to Jujo Station on the municipal subway. Apparently there is a free shuttle bus running from Kyoto Station. I walked to Fushimi Inari Taisha, which is about 1.5 kilometers from the hotel. I stayed in a double room by myself and it was spacious and nice. On the first floor, there is a souvenir shop, a large breakfast hall, and a large bath. The highly concentrated carbonated spring water in the public bath was exceptional.

It's close to Jujo subway station and there's a Family Mart. It's a clean hotel with a large public bath. There are various kinds of breakfast, and you can eat it leisurely, but it starts from 7 o'clock.

Modern fit-out, comfortable rooms, and onsite parking (albeit at an additional 800 yen). Next door to a Domino’s Pizza and convenience store. Located on a busy road, and not within walking distance of any major attractions.

I stayed here as a solo female traveler! I lived in Kyoto alone when I was a student, so I have a good knowledge of the area, so I found this hotel to be in a good location, very clean, and good value for money. Even though it's close to Kyoto Station, it's easy to get lost if it's crowded, so you won't get lost as it's only a 3-minute walk from the station, quiet and conspicuous. The hot springs were very nice, and above all, the interior of the room was well-designed, and the view of Kyoto Tower from the window was enough to impress even those who know Kyoto very well. I was happy with the spacious desk and the large desk mirror. It was raining, but umbrellas were available for rent, and being able to get to Kyoto Station in just a few minutes on the subway was really convenient. There was a convenience store nearby, and although there were few restaurants, a stylish yakiniku restaurant seemed to be thriving.

I think it's perfect for sightseeing and business trips.There is a parking lot attached to the hotel, but large trucks are not allowed.You can get a parking ticket from the gate at the back and bring it to the front desk to enter and exit as many times as you like.Parking fee is 1000 yen per night.Accommodation rates vary depending on the season, so please check.If you stay for 3 consecutive days or more, you will receive a cashback of 900 yen, which is a great deal. However, it is unclear how long God's response will last.The room is spacious and comfortable.If you stay for a short period of time, they won't come into your room if you refuse to clean, so it's okay to leave a mess (lol)The unit bath is spacious and there are no steps at the entrance.The sink is a little small and the faucet gets in the way when washing your face, but everything else is fine.There is also a large public bath, which is recommended for people who like baths.The bed is spacious and quite luxurious for one person!This hotel is recommended for both work and travel.It's helpful because the prices are more affordable during the off-season.

The room is covered in hair. Both on the bed and in the toilet bowl. I have stayed at many business hotels on business trips, but this is the first time I've stayed in a hotel that was so creepy.What's more, when I called the front desk, all they did was bring a vacuum cleaner, and when I asked if I could change rooms, they didn't contact me for over 30 minutes.It's better to just stop.Cannot change from eco cleaning to normal cleaning.Cleaning is only done once every 3 days.Unsanitary, garbage room.

The hotel has a nice onsen. We booked a deluxe room for 6 nights. The room had 2 armchairs and wasn't too small. Unfortunately, our request to get a room at the back was not implemented. So we found the noise from the street and highway to be quite loud. There was also no room cleaning during the entire time. It was only when we checked in that we were informed that cleaning would only take place after the 4th night. In fact there was no cleaning. You could put trash and towels outside your room door in the morning. Then it was disposed of and you were given fresh towels. However, that didn't look particularly inviting every morning. 🙁 The hotel is also quite far from the train station and city center. We weren't allowed to use the shuttle to the train station either. Communication in English is hardly possible. A real shame.
