Have to book ahead to get good prices and this is a popular hotel due to its good location- there’s a Lawson downstairs and many eateries around, also 5-7min walk to Avant and Kyoto JR station! It’s quiet too hence can get good rest at night. I love the lobby with necessities that you can take for use- from toothbrush, shaver, moisturizer and even face mask! Amazing. And the laundry room has 2 units of washer cum dryer which require 400-500yen per wash and dry (washer only accepts 100yen coins so prep them) Also, be prepared to queue to use. Staff are friendly and helpful too. There is a small smoking room in the lobby and breakfast is both western and local cuisine. It saves time to add in breakfast if you plan to start your day early (breakfast is 6.30am to 10.30am). I would stay there again when visit Kyoto! 👍🏻🤗

It was quick to get to Kyoto Station and the service staff were also very polite. The room is quite spacious and there are two washing machines. You may have to try your luck. There is a Lawson supermarket and a 7-11 next to it, which is convenient. The smoking room is a little small and only two people can stand.

If I come to Kyoto again, I will definitely come back and stay hereVery close to Kyoto StationThe seat of Kyoto Tower is in front of the stationThe hotel is located behind the stationThere is a lot to visit at the back stationDon Quixote is a five-minute walk from the hotel.And open until midnightIf all the shops and department stores are closed,You can come back to Don Quixote and go back to the hotel.There is also Lawson downstairs in the hotel.There are 711 next to and diagonally oppositeYou can go shopping every night before going back to the hotelThere is also Uniqlo, a department store that is a ten-minute walk away.All in all the location is very convenientAlthough the front desk staff doesn’t speak English very wellBut they all use translators to communicate hardThe attitude is also very friendly and politeThe disadvantage is that sometimes the hygiene details may be a little lacking.When I arrived on the first night, I noticed obvious hairs on the light switch.Another small drawbackBut it seems that many affordable hotels in Japan are like this now.No bottled water provided

The photo of this hotel on the booking website is ordinary, but it is actually a great hotel. The accommodation is very cost-effective, very close to the station, there is a 24-hour Don Quixote next to it, there is a convenience store downstairs, and you can rent LUUP at the door. , The space in the room should be able to open two suitcases, which is really convenient! The only drawback is that the soundproofing is mediocre.

Disadvantages: The room is a bit damp, there is no mineral water, and the toilet is not well ventilatedAdvantages: The breakfast is diverse and delicious, the service staff is patient in communicating with foreigners, you can store your luggage for one day after check-out (very considerate), and you can borrow electric cars (you need to download the app)The transportation is convenient. You don’t have to go to the Kyoto-mae bus station to get to Kiyomizu Temple. You can take the 207 bus to Kiyomizu Temple near the hotel. There are fewer people in line.It is also very close to the AVANTI shopping mall. After the Lawson convenience store crosses the road, it seems to be next to the bank. There is one of the entrances that can lead directly to the department store.
