Hotel located one street east from Horikawa StreetIt's a small building with 5 floors, but it was quiet.Welcome drink at the entrance 😀There was sake, Japanese-style soup stock, detox water, apple juice, sencha, hojicha, coffee☕️, etc., which was good👍The room was a twin, but the size was just right ☝️The bathtub was a little small, but the shower curtain has an R on it, so it can be used widely☺️The smoking room 🚬 was located at the back of the first floor.Breakfast buffet 🍴 opens at 7amIt's a pity that I couldn't eat it because I left early 💦

The room is quite big and the bed is a bit hard but I'm used to sleeping on hard beds so it doesn't have much of an impact. Overall it's very comfortable. There is a free welcome drink in the lobby, and you can also buy outside food.Breakfast includes Japanese udon noodles and rice. It's a great value for money hotel.

I was looking for business class and found it! I like the calm and simple room! Dinner is in Kawaramachi, which is a little far away, but there is a convenience store nearby, so I bought a bento and ate it in my room! We are grateful that we can rent out tables at this time as well!Drink service available.I thought about it later, but if you're going out for a long weekend, it might be a good idea to go to Kyoto Station and walk!

This is the perfect place for those who want to stay in a quiet place. There is no other convenience store (LAWSON/24 hours) a 3-minute walk away and a supermarket (FRESCO) 5 minutes away, but inside a quiet village in Kyoto, opposite Nishi Hongan-ji Temple, there is a 5-story building that blends in with the surrounding environment. there is. Western and Asian groups also stay here, but overall it is a small hotel.The front door is locked between 00:00 and 6:00 p.m., so don't forget to take your card key with you. You can enter by touching the card reader next to the front door.I think it would be nice to take a walk through the alleyways of Kyoto in the morning.

The room was larger than expected, clean, and nice to have a full-length mirror in the room.No communication problems. You're good at English.Breakfast is highly recommended 👍However, it is a bit far from Kyoto Station.If I go to Kyoto again, I definitely intend to visit again.

It's 5 minutes away from Kyoto Station by bus, but it's okay because transportation is cheap.Breakfast was also delicious.Instead there was a smell in the bathroom.

We stayed in this hotel for a week as a couple and I was completely satisfied. It was quiet and clean and really pretty. Short walks to some bus stops and family market etc. There is also a very nice big temple right around the corner. The service was good, if you arrive too early for check-in they take your bags and you can explore outside. It was nice
