I wouldn't recommend this hotel. There are much better options in Kyoto that offer more for your money. (Stayed there for two new nights from 23-25 September 2024)Cleanliness: My room wasn't properly cleaned. The trash cans (both in the room and on the balcony) were full, and the used ice bucket wasn't replaced.Service: The staff in the lobby seemed indifferent and unwelcoming. They didn't greet guests who were checking in, rarely acknowledged anyone passing through, and were slow to assist when asked.Location: While the location wasn't terrible, it was a bit out of the way with not much to do in the immediate area.

Just arrived first day in Sept 29 and checked in at 3. Didn't notice until later on that the the carpet is full of human foot nails from the previous user. Now makes me wonder if they even clean properly with other things.Would not recommend this hotel.
