Friendly boutique hotel 5 minutes walk from the metro, close to several konbinis. Located not far from JR Kyoto station, it is out of the way, but with buses and the metro available, it does not impact visits at all. The staff is really nice and welcoming. The room is pleasant and original, although the bathroom is a weak point, because it is small. Vinyl records and free ice cream every day are nice little extras.

advantage:1. There are three major Japanese supermarkets nearby, from nearest to far, they are LAWSON, 7-11, and FamilyMart.2. There are subways and buses nearby, and the transportation is very convenient.3. The waffles for breakfast are very delicious, and the vegetables and fruits prepared are fresh, refreshing and delicious.4. The room is well lit in the morning and is designed with a film theme, giving it a refreshing feeling.5. Umbrellas are provided on rainy days, which is very considerate.6. The service staff are very friendly and can communicate in English.shortcoming:1. On the night of check-in, there were cockroaches running out of the air-conditioning vents. I am very grateful to the service staff for their immediate assistance in getting rid of the cockroaches. They immediately rearranged the room and re-disinfected and tidied my room the next day🙇🏻‍♀️But this incident made me feel very scared. I thought that my check-in experience that night had been disturbed, and I was worried about whether it would happen again in the following days. Therefore, I should provide a refund or discount "that night" as compensation, but the hotel did not have a corresponding "amount" "Compensation, I still feel that my rights and interests have been damaged🥲2. The room is very humid because the bed can feel the humidity. I found other guests' reviews mentioning this issue.3. The room is designed with a film theme, but in fact the film is damaged and the music played is often intermittent, which affects the original atmosphere. I think it is a pity.

This is a divine place located at Kyoto Subway Station 1 (2 minutes’ walk from Kujo Station). The best thing is that you can have all-you-can-eat American chicken breast for breakfast!
