This was one of our favorite hotels we stayed at. Very clean, smelled so good every time we walked in, and the staff and amenities were great at well. It is a hidden gem in downtown Kyoto close to shopping and so many other things to do. We found it very convenient for our stay.

This is a wonderful hotel - we had a fantastic stay. The hotel is calm and welcoming and smells amazing. The amenities available were lovely and the living lobby is too. Kind and helpful staff, and the hotel is not too big so even though it was busy it maintained its calm vibe. Altogether a lovely hotel, would love to have stayed longer.

A modern yet traditional hotel. Loved everything about the hotel - location and room. It’s right off the Kawaramachi street where you’ll find shops and restaurants. Although it’s near the Main Street the rooms are quiet. It’s also very close to Pontocho and Gion. There are busses and train stations nearby. We booked a superior twin room and it was very spacious. The beds were larger than regular single ones. Loved the design of the room and the use of tatami mats. We stayed 4 nights and they only cleaned the room once however clean towels were provided daily. There’s a lounge room in the lobby area with a coffee machine and microwave. We did our laundry in the basement level - a coin laundry room is available. Can’t recommend this hotel enough if you’re coming to Kyoto.

Excellent location. It’s situated in the busy business district. Close to entertainment, shopping, and food. However, room is dirty. You can see dirt, hair, and dust behind the toilet. There was even a bug crawling on our bed. My husband said he feels itchy every night. They don’t clean the room unless you stay for more days then they’ll clean it every 3 days. Room is small, but we’re okay with it. Don’t think we’ll ever book this hotel again.

I am shocked that there are good reviews for this hotel at this price-point. They do not clean the rooms, both during your stay and apparently generally. This is presented to guests as an “eco-friendly” practice, however everything in the room is packaged in plastic, so clearly this is just a cost-saving measure. Our room was dirty and dusty upon check-in, dark, and nearly impossible for two people to move around in. We did not even end up staying one night, and the front desk did not care enough to ask why we were checking out 15 mins after check-in, and only said there are no refunds. I think if you can find this hotel for $150 a night and want to be in the middle of chaos (or don’t mind) then this hotel is probably fine. We paid over $300 and the lack of cleanliness alone was enough to leave.

Pros: Strategic location, bus stop right outside the hotel, easily accessible to kyoto station by bus. Trains are nearby too. Many dining place nearby. Cons: Room is very very dusty even on our first day of our stay...pile of dusts at the top of the bathtub ventiliator. Open the door to the window...and there is insects flying around..closed it immediately You can see dust flying everywhere in the room. Asked staff to assist in cleaning the room, but was rejected as they will only clean after the 3rd day you're staying..which is the 4th day and that means its our check out day?? Regretted staying here.

The staff was very kind. However, the room was filthy. The walls were caked in dust, the window shoji was full of dust, we had a couple of silver bugs crawl across the floor, and we found toenail clippings swept to the corners of the bathroom floor. I felt gross the entire time we were there. They also have a no-cleaning policy in place so there is no daily housekeeping, only once every three days I believe. The room was also extremely small, I would not recommend more than one person per room. The photos online were so beautiful and we were just so disappointed after looking forward to staying here.

Lovely clean hotel with friendly staff. Room 405 was good with plenty of space for 2 people. They will give you towels and etc every day of you ask for them though will not clean or change bedsheets which I found a little odd but fine for the 3 days we were there. The only real criticism I have is that it's very dark in the room! Every light was on and it was still dim! Bit strange.

Friendly helpful staff and with a super comfy bed. The location is also perfect. As described by many though, the rooms are very very small. There’s no room to open out a suitcase even. That sense of a cramped space isn’t helped by black walls and doors in all the corridors. If you are any way claustrophobic I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Rooms are small and super basic, but bed are comfortable and is a killer central location. The service is totally decent, and being able to walk out right into the heart of everything makes up for any lack of space. If you're all about location and a good night's sleep over fancy digs, this place is a winner.

This is the 2nd time I stayed at this hotel. The rooms are nice & quiet. I like the set-up of the hotel and it's location. What I didn't like this time: 1) The slippers in the rooms are dirty and are reused. Gross! And they only fit you if you have tiny feet. 2) I asked for directions to the Metro station, and the staff member told me the wrong directions. Plus, he seemed annoyed that I even asked, even though I was the only person at the front desk. Now I know, he was annoyed, as he really didn't know, but didn't want to say that. I don't remember his name, but he was an Indian man, young, who worked the day shifts on Tuesday (Oct, 8, 2024) & Wednesday (Oct, 9, 2024). 3) There is only very few TV stations and they are all news except for a station that plays kids shows. It'd be nice to have a few more options. I don't know if I'll stay there again. Too bad, as I loved the theme of the rooms and the location But I was a little disappointed this time.

There are two washing machines and dryers and laundry room can become quite busy but overall excellent experience but breakfast needs improvement

Amazing location, staff, facilities, and room amenities. The one issue I experienced was with breakfast, where there there several days where there was little to no food available in the breakfast buffet. Asking the staff for more of a food item usually triggered a fast response but there should have been more observation of the food items.

The property is very well located and you’re all shopping. The rooms are quite nice and quite large considering it’s Japan. The common areas are very nice. The staff was great. I recommend that you do not include the breakfast as the breakfast is not good compared to other hotels that we stay at. If there was one limiting factor, I would say it’s the breakfast. Good news is there’s plenty of places to eat right outside the door.
