Rooms are compact and efficiently designed, but many note very firm mattresses and thin pillows. The Japanese bento breakfast is often tasty, yet repetitive and limited in choice, with few alternatives mentioned. Cleanliness feedback is largely positive, though a minority reported dust, odors, stained linens or carpets, and occasional smoke smell. Overall, expect a convenient, value-minded base with unique touches and tight quarters.

Nice, clean, and modern hotel. They have lots of manga to read in the lobby that you.can sign out and take up to your room to read or even up to the little rooftop terrace they have if you want. Room was small and space efficient which suited me just fine because I wasn't going to Japan to live in a hotel. A complaint I have would be the mattress and pillow were super hard and uncomfortable, but after walking around all day that didn't stop me from passing out. Also that street sounds were pretty loud, but again, I had no problem falling asleep. All in all a decent little hotel and I would still stay again if I was back in the area.

4.5/5 Excellent customer service. The staff speaks English and they offer luggage transfer services for a very reasonable price. The room is small, but it met my need. The bed is hard, but it’s actually very good for the back (better for my back than my super soft bed at home). The bathroom is compact, but the tub is actually quite large. The terrace is cute. The breakfast is Japanese style, they also have coffee and tea. The manga selection for non Japanese speakers isn’t great. The location is pretty convenient, there’s a family mart and a 7-11 just a few steps away. And a few central bus lines. Close to nijo castle and few minute bus ride from Gion. I would stay again. If the bed were soften and the room a little larger, I'd give it 5 stars.

There's a Lawsons and a 7/11 right near the hotel so getting snacks late at night is a breeze! They have self serve tea/coffee complimentary near reception so it makes it nice to have when you're reading their manga selection. They have only 2 washer/dryer combos starting at 100yen per 30 min cycles but when we went, 1 broke down and started leaking but they got it fixed right away. The beds are really hard and hurt my back as I laid on them but all in all it's a nice hotel. Kind of a walk from the closest JR station but it's a nice location.

Has a library that boasts an impressive collection of new and old manga. Guests can borrow up to 10 books at a time. Almost all the manga are in Japanese. If you do not know Japanese or not learning Japanese, I feel this is a completely missed opportunity. Breakfast is a Japanese bento box with miso soup. The breakfast is very healthy containing a hodgepodge of rice and pickled vegetables. The breakfast is low on meat, usually it's a single meatball and a slice of cooked fish. The hotel room is tiny, so people who are taller than 6 ft or have a lot of luggage might find it difficult to navigate. The beds here are EXTREMELY firm. I like sleeping on firm beds so it was not a problem for me. Also did not like the position of the air condition which blows directly towards the bed. I had to turn if off to avoid freezing while asleep. To rooftop space is small and not very practical for reading. It gets very sunny up there and there is no shade. Hotel has definitely seen some better days, noticed the ceiling of my room had cracks and there is a noticeable stink when the staff are cleaning the rooms.

I booked a non-smoking room, but the room smelled like an ashtray. I don't know if it was due to the AC or the guest before me smoked there. Either way, I felt sick waking up in that room. I won't go there again.

Hotellet ligger bra till nära kommunikationer och sevärdheter. Utsökt japansk frukost. Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Bekväma sängar. Betyget dras ner lite på grund av lukt av fotsvett från heltäckningsmattan och att rummets fönster var frostad glas, ej genomskinligt. Detta framkom inte när vi bokade.

We liked that it was somewhat close to all the places we wanted to visit in Kyoto. There is a bus that is only a few stops away from the main street of Kyoto. We did not like the fact that our blanket had 2 dried blood spots from a previous guest. The beds felt thin and easy to make bed noises when moving around on it.

Overall was generally clean, though a couple stains on the carpet and bench. Not a bad location, but not amazing. Good food nearby. Was on the 6 floor and when they cleaned the rooms, the hallways smelled wet and like mildew with all the sheets piled in the hall. The blinds did nothing to keep out the light, so I needed to wear a sleep mask. I would stay again but I’d probably look at other options first.

For our first time in Kyoto, we decided to stay at the Hedistar Hotel as a cheaper alternative for one of the legs of our Japan trip. Having an evening check-in, our luggage delivered through their transport service was present when we arrived. The hotel’s lobby includes bookshelves of Japanese manga which also included an English section free for guests to borrow during their stay. Although at a good price, the beds were not as comfortable and unfortunately, the rooms were a bit small for two people’s worth of luggage. I also wished there were more pillows, but I’m sure can be requested if necessary. The shower heads also are also angled out of place, so showering was difficult to manage in preventing water from spilling out of the tub. All hygiene amenities were offered for free in the lobby for guests to take for their convenience. Luckily, there was also a FamilyMart right next door where we were able to grab quick snacks to eat. Restaurants were also within walking distance. When it was time to travel to our next hotel, we experienced difficulty with language barrier when trying to transport our luggage through their service. CASH ONLY for luggage service! Luckily, we were able to find an ATM in the FamilyMart next door. Despite difficulty, they still tried their best to communicate their policies through Google translate which was extremely helpful in figuring out how much to pay. Overall, it was an okay stay for the price.

!!! For foreign customers who can speak Japanese or Chinese !!! The staff can’t speak and understand even a little English. Don’t choose this hotel if you’re not familiar or can’t speak Japanese or Chinese. 整體 (6.5/10) 性價比上來說是一間不錯的飯店(預定價格: 約1000NTD/晚)。 然而櫃檯人員完全無法說英文(甚至主動要求顧客說中文)對其他國家的旅客來說無疑是非常的不便利。走廊的空調完全沒在運轉，導致走廊上異常的悶熱，是兩個大扣分的點。 一樓的漫畫一次最多可以借10本進客房看，也有免費的抹茶(熱)可以喝，算十分有特色。 服務 (4/10) 三星級飯店本來就不會要求太多的服務，但連最基礎的英文都不行，這點不及格。 整潔(8/10) 乾淨，客房內該換的東西都有換新，牆面有少許行李刮過的痕跡，小扣分。 交通、生活機能(9/10) 樓下走約1-2分鐘有便利商店、拉麵店，距離地鐵走路約5分鐘，JR走路約15分鐘 舒適度(5/10) 不知道為什麼走廊不開空調，非常的悶熱，讓人一分鐘都不想多待。房間與浴室以三星級飯店來說偏小，浴缸要整個人縮起來才能泡，形同虛設。

We had to wait a while for someone to be at the check in counter even after pushing the bell. We did arrive an hour before 3 pm and had to leave our luggage’s with them until 3 pm, however we didn’t get our room keys until about 3:15 pm even after already waiting in the lobby. We asked for change of sheets and full service in one of our rooms and they just changed the sheets direction, didn’t change them. The rooms had an off smell. The location is nice, rooftop is nice. They have comics in the lobby, but over all it was just OK. They provide you one tiny pillow and the mattress was very hard and space was very tight. Not complaining about the space since we have traveled throughout Japan and know this is common. My suggestion would be to book closer to Kyoto station since that is the hub of where everything is.

Lovely clean hotel with very helpful staff who were a wonderful support when helping us ship our bags overnight between Kyoto and Tokyo. Hotel also very close to metro for ease of travel elsewhere in the city and beyond.

Located beside a subway station and various bus routes. As well as a 15 minute walk from a commercial area and the JR station.

地下鉄東西線の二条城駅から本当に歩いてすぐなので、交通の便、観光地へのアクセスに関しては文句なしの5つ星です。また、新しいカフェが続々とオープンしていて活気がある三条通商店街も徒歩圏内にあるので、食事にもお茶にも困りません。ホテルは内装が落ち着いていて過ごしやすかったです。朝食の和食弁当も品が良くて美味しかったです。

This hotel is situated next to the famous Nijo Castle, with several bus stops and subway station just a quick stroll away. Additionally, the nearby ramen restaurant offers a deliciously chewy ramen that is definitely worth sampling.

We liked that it was somewhat close to all the places we wanted to visit in Kyoto. There is a bus that is only a few stops away from the main street of Kyoto. We did not like the fact that our blanket had 2 dried blood spots from a previous guest. The beds felt thin and easy to make bed noises when moving around on it.

Spacious, clean and cozy rooms! Hotel also makes you feel safe, close to Nijo-Jo Castle which is a must-to-visit I think. Also there is a bus stop 1 min walk distance from front door. I recommend here. 10-15 mins bus trip to Kyoto Station.

Dining
Breakfast is a traditional Japanese bento with miso soup that many enjoyed. Several reviews noted it is the same each day with limited choice and few or no Western options.

Sauberes, ruhiges kleines Zimmer. Das gebuchte Komfortfrühstück entsprach nicht europäischen Qualitäts- und Geschmacksvorstellungen. Es gab jeden Tag das Identische: Eine sehr salzige Suppe sowie eine Box aus dem Warmhaltewagen mit Reis, komischem Gemüse, einer Miniportion Kartoffelsalat und einer sehr kleinen Fleischkugel.

The price is reasonable for a really convenient location, near the Nijo castle and train station. Beds extremely hard, but the staff so friendly. Breakfast was traditional and good but the same every day so just be aware.

This is a great little hotel near walkable sites. But a bit of a walk to a train station, about 15min. Clean and comfortable room but the bed was rock hard, possibly the hardest I’ve ever slept on. Also the breakfast was traditional Japanese every morning with no other options. And you could sometimes smell smoke from the smoking room at the back. I would stay again. Lovely staff.

出張で４連泊しました。 快適でしたが、１つだけ不満（残念）だったのは、朝食のお弁当内容がホボ同じだったことです。 連泊者には、ご配慮い頂けると良かったです。 せめて、隔日で内容を変えて頂けると飽きは来ないかと．．．．。 非常に美味しかったので、残念と言えば残念でした。

Located in the North of Kyoto by the Nijo/Imperial Castle and between 2 subway lines. Room was small but modern. Not exactly sure how the manga comic collection fits in as this is definitely a business hotel.
