I stayed here for one night on a business trip. It was about 1,200 yen by taxi from Kyoto Station. |The room was quite small, and I felt like I could barely open my small carry-on suitcase. …

Booked for one night from 2024.10.4. It's probably within a 5 minute walk from Shijo subway station.The receptionist was very kind and polite. Get the amenities on the 1st floor and go to each room. Also, there are free drinks (cola, Fanta, coffee, etc.) in the same place.The room was small, but there was a refrigerator and a washing machine. It also warms the bathroom. It's small, but the functionality is pretty good. Additionally, a smartphone charger is provided next to the bed. Thank you for your help. There was free water in the fridge.The public bath was small but nice. There is also an open-air bath. There also seems to be a sauna (I didn't notice it) and there are 6 showers in a small space. Also, hair was stuck in the washing area in some places, probably due to poor flow to the drain.Each floor had a water and ice machine in front of the elevator.You can eat bread for a limited time in the free space on the second floor. I think it was about 3 small pieces per person. Not enough for a male (teenager). It's different when it's a salad, though. The soup was quite thin. The view was nice.

I stayed for one night on short notice, but I was quite satisfied. The customer service at the front desk was very polite and the amenities were pretty good. Above all, although the rooms were certainly small, it was nice that each room had a washing machine. WiFi is fine for just doing research.

There is a large public bath and sauna on the top floor, so there was no need to use the bath in the room.

Stayed here in February of this year for 4,100 yen (including tax).It's probably due to rising prices, but the prices have gone up and I don't think I want to go there anymore at the current cost of lodging.It's a shame because it was my favorite hotel.

I think this is a hotel with excellent cost performance.This is my secret constant residence in Kyoto.This time I booked a room with a wide bed, so it was more spacious than a normal room, but most of the rooms are small and streamlined.First of all, the lighting in the room is bright and there is a desk space where you can work.There is a bed with an Airweave mattress, a trouser press, a washing machine, a dryer in the bathroom, an air purifier with a humidifying function, and a stand to put your suitcase.There is also a refrigerator, kettle, and safety deposit box.The microwave and ice maker are in the common area. There are also free drinks (in addition to coffee, juice) in the lobby.There is a large bath on the top floor. (The room has a small unit bath)It has excellent facilities that you wouldn't expect from a hotel of this class, and it can be used even on a weekly basis.The location is excellent, and we sell at regular prices all year round!I'm worried that it's becoming so popular these days that it's difficult to make reservations.There are extremely small rooms and rooms where the smell of drainage is a concern.Also, the Japanese-style room doesn't smell like tatami.*For a limited time, we are serving mini bread for breakfast!It has been decided that it will be extended until the end of October.

Often used when traveling alone.First of all, the location is good. You can go anywhere right next to Shijo Station.There is a Lawson across the street and a drug store next door. There used to be a 7-Eleven on the first floor, but it has since closed.Automatic check-in and free drink server in the lobby. They will keep your luggage after check-out.Although the guest rooms are not spacious, it is very nice to have a washing machine and a bathroom dryer. (No detergent included)If you stay for 2 nights or more, you can do your laundry efficiently.There is a microwave and water server on each floor.There is a large public bath on the top floor, but it is not large. A bath for 3 people and an open-air bath for 1 person. The sauna is also small.You can rent bicycles, so it's very convenient for shopping and walking around.I will continue to use this hotel because I can stay there cheaply even during the Obon holidays and the service is good.Highly recommended especially if you are staying for 2 nights or more.
