ReviewsEveryone, please read once before choosing!【room】Basically dirty, 6 tatami room without shower even if 4 people stay[Amenity]None at all, I also have to buy a toothbrush.Even if you stay multiple nights, the towels and sheets are only changed once every two days, and since you have to change them yourself, the room is not cleaned even after four nights.【meal】Training camp level, the grilled fish was basically warmed and never grilled.Dinner wasn't good enough to eat, so I ended up eating outside and only having breakfast from the second day onwards.Also, even though the food was at that level, children were not allowed to bring in even baby food, and small children were not allowed to eat with them.Does this mean that small children cannot eat together? When I asked him, he ruthlessly replied, "Yes, that's right."[Bath]It smelled like chlorine and I couldn't put it in there.It's also bad that I soaked, but since it was cold, I took a short soak in the bathtub and washed my body with soap, but the smell of chlorine lingered on my body for about the night.It smells more like chlorine than the pool, so we strongly recommend that you don't go in.Since this is a hygiene issue, we will contact the Shiki Club and the public health center, and we hope that it will be resolved.[Staff response]Basically it's not good.The top of the Buddha? Unfriendly? Looking from above?The man seems to be in charge, but I can't say that he is very responsive.Also, there is no flexibility.They won't listen to anything other than the rules.[Overall]This time I chose to stay here because of the location rather than the price, but I felt that the hotel's stance was that there was nothing I could do about it because the price was low, and that no effort was being made.Moreover, depending on the date, it can cost as much as 15,000 yen per person per night, so it's not cheap.Even in the central area of ​​Shijo, there are many cheaper, cleaner, and better-serviced inns, so if location is not an issue, we highly recommend staying there.I've stayed at hundreds of inns in Japan for work reasons, but the worst was so bad that I decided to post a review that I wouldn't normally do.

The room is clean. The surrounding area is private houses, so it's quiet. It's very good because there's a subway station nearby and a supermarket 👍️

From the parking lot across the streetAs soon as you turn to the back left side, there is a cheap place 📍Toothbrush paid, futon laid out by yourself☺︎To save energy on air conditioners, customers can turn them on in their own rooms ☺︎The changing room in the public bath is not heated🥶No, no, please put it on in advance ❗️ It's cold and impossible!! ️This isn't power saving, it's stingy lol You're confusing power saving and stingy.When I checked out, the front desk was unmanned and I left the key behind.If you don’t have any excuses, please give 2 stars⭐️⭐️┏○))3 stars because everything is normal and there are no particular problems.We are competing on low price 🍀

Used for a family trip of 3 people.I think it's in a very convenient location.I think it's very good for people traveling for sightseeing and dining purposes.The surrounding area is residential and quite quiet. I had a breakfast only plan, but since Aeon Mall is less than a 5-minute walk away, I didn't have any problems getting food or drinks even if I was staying without meals. You can buy bento boxes and side dishes at the supermarket, and you can also eat at chain restaurants.It's also close to Kitaoji subway station, so you can take the subway to Gion for meals. It's about 15 minutes from Kyoto Station, making it easy to transfer and sightsee by train.The exterior is Japanese-style and tasteful, and I think it's perfect for a trip to Kyoto. The room was a standard guest room and I didn't feel anything was missing. I had to lay out the futon myself, but I didn't mind that at all.I went in late, but the bath smelled a bit like a pool.

Even one person can stay at a relatively reasonable price, so I have used it several times to refresh myself.

Really, it's better not to stay there.The room was small and there were many places that were not kept clean.Regarding the bath, there was no one in the room, and the hot water in the large public bath (medium bath for four people) was filled with garbage floating in the water.

I don't think the building or rooms are new, but they didn't feel dirty at all.Yukata and towels were provided in the room, but I thought it was modern that we had to make our own futon sheets and toothbrushes were sold separately.The room was a Japanese-style room and I felt it was just the right size for a family of four.The inn itself does not have a parking lot, so we had to use a nearby coin parking lot, but the nightly rate was about 1000 yen, which was cheap.Within walking distance of the inn, it didn't feel like Kyoto and had a downtown feel, but there was Aeon Town nearby, so it was nice to be able to do some quick shopping and eat.The Kamogawa River flows nearby, so a walk is also recommended.
