Very close to the Karasuma line, easy to get to other areas. Very quiet area. The service is always excellent. The room is not big but it is very clean and you can cook there. The hotel bar is great.

The apartment hotel was spacious with a modern design. It included a kitchen and laundry, which was really convenient, and the air conditioning worked well. Just a 5-minute walk from the train station. However, there’s not much around the area, so it's best to shop beforehand.Overall, great value for money. If you're taking a long-distance bus to Osaka or Nagano, the bus pickup spot is only a 10-15 minute walk away.

The hotel is located on a quiet side street. The rooms are quiet and the size of the rooms is good. Everything is very well maintained.A train station can be reached in 5 minutes on foot, from which you can quickly reach Kyoto main station. The hotel was recommended to me and I can only pass on the recommendation.

Even if it seems out of the way, this aparthotel is very well located less than ten minutes by metro from the central station and allows you to be very quickly in the heart of the city or to travel throughout Kyoto.The room is properly equipped with even a very large dressing room to accommodate all your suitcases etc.Small equipped kitchen, good size fridge, 2 double beds etc.Good value for money in a relatively quiet location in the inner suburbs.The only downside is that the wifi could be more efficient and you can quickly hear the neighbors if they stay on the terrace.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The hotel is too close to the tram tracks, so forget about getting a good night’s sleep after a tiring day. Moreover, the hotel is in an extremely remote location, and the surroundings are indescribable—it’s connected to some factories and rice fields, making it very inconvenient to buy anything. The area is pitch dark and extremely secluded! Additionally, the room was damp, dark, and humid, and the washing machine didn’t have a drying function! I was misled by the beautiful photos taken by the hotel and even wonder if the positive reviews online are real. I will definitely never choose this hotel again. It ruined our experience in Japan. This was truly a nightmare!
