I stayed here for sightseeing around the area.An amenity bar that allows you to bring only what you need to your room is environmentally friendly and convenient. I was able to spend the night quietly.I was very grateful because I was able to stay at a cheap price, but there were some areas, such as around the air conditioner, that didn't seem to have been cleaned in time, so I'd be willing to pay a little more for it, even if they did their best to clean it. I thought it was good. I would also consider staying there when sightseeing.

I have used various Via Inns in Japan (as well as other domestic and international hotels).Breakfast in Shijo Muromachi, Kyoto is 2nd worst!Why? (It's too appropriate)At the very least, you should stay at other hotels in the Via Inn group and learn about the current situation.

Overall, it was a comfortable stay. The room is really small. It’s difficult to walk with a medium-sized suitcase spread out. Maybe a large suitcase can’t be spread out, right? The soundproofing effect is pretty good. I stayed there for five nights during the summer vacation and was not disturbed at all.The free coffee is filter coffee pods, suitable for those who like coffee.It's nice to be able to check whether the coin-operated washing machine is in use via the room TV. However, because it is designed with a combination lock, there is nothing you can do if the previous person does not come to pick it up after washing. In addition, the drying capacity of this washer-dryer is not very strong, and the amount of clothes thrown in for washing is not large. However, when I took it out after the drying process, the cotton clothes were a little damp, and the trousers were obviously only half-dry.

The facility seems a little old. The lighting in the bathroom is too dim. I would like to see it improved. Amenities include shaving for a fee. If you are a member, you can get it for free. The location is convenient as it is close to Karasuma.

Great location, close to Daimaru, Kyogoku, and Shijo Street. By registering as a member, you can receive the lowest accommodation rate guarantee and a 2-hour free extension of your check-out time. This is a normal business hotel with rooms that are neither particularly good nor bad.For breakfast, you can choose Japanese or Western main dishes, and rice, miso soup, bread, etc. are served in a buffet style.The front desk was kind and I would use them again.

This was my first time using this hotel. I liked the fact that it was located in the quaint town of Kyoto and looked more like a ryokan than a hotel, so I booked it.It was nice that you could check in 24 hours a day, and the Japanese style breakfast ☕🍞🌄 was appealing! There were a lot of small dishes, which was as expected, so I was satisfied.The problem was that it was a little far from the station, but I will definitely use it again when I come to Kyoto again.
