The location offers easy access to buses, subway and Gion or downtown areas while remaining slightly tucked away from the busiest streets. Recurring downsides include housekeeping only every three days, firm beds with few pillows, small or dim rooms with limited daylight or sealed windows, and very limited on-site amenities such as no breakfast or restaurant. Expect a straightforward, no-frills stay focused on practicality and transport links.

It was strange that there was not usually a lobby attendant, but it was fine. The room has plenty of outlets and USB and seems well designed. It’s great if you’re not going to spend much time in your room. The coin laundry was also easy to use.

They only offer room cleaning once every 3 days. We found the towels provided to be quite thin and they didn't dry easily in the bathroom, so we had to ask for new towels on the second day. Thankfully they provided extra towels when we asked. We ran a load of laundry while we were there (700yen) with an extra drying cycle (200yen). Somehow our clothes seemed more wet after the extra drying time. Would not use their laundry facilities again. The mattress is very firm and the pillows offer no support. The room was clean enough and spacious for Japanese room sizes.

They answered questions through message very quickly when we need to confirm a luggage send out to them. Coin Laundry available on site.

The hotel is located on a residential street, short walk from the subway station. There is a self-check in at the hotel but staff was on site during our check-in. We received an email with the entry code the day prior to check-in. The staff at the reception didn't speak English but we were able to get by with google translate. We were able to store luggage here prior to check-in which was great. The location is great. It is on a quite street, yet short walk to the subway and the entertainment district and some tourist sites. The only downside is that the ground level rooms don't get any daylight as the window is blocked for privacy. There is laundry facility on site but no restaurant. Only a vending machine for drinks in front of the hotel. There are food stores and some restaurants short walk from the hotel. Overall, we had a good stay.

Ms chain of hotels have really narrowed down the experience to a minimum for the client at a maximum price for what you get. 4 o’clock check in is very inconvenient. No outdoor spaces or lounge at all. No bikes, breakfast, or beverage machines. We had to beg for one extra pillow. The windows don’t open, and the door make a constant high pitched humming noise from the draft. Pay more, stay elsewhere.

Hotel situato vicino a fermate del bus e della metro e al quartiere gion. Il personale praticamente assente (è presente qualcuno ogni tanto, per il resto check in e check out tramite una macchinetta). Servizi ottimi se non fosse che la lavanderia costa un po’ troppo e non mi è piaciuta la pulizia ogni 3 giorni (piu che altro per il cambio asciugamani). Stanza spaziosa e hotel silenzioso e tranquillo.

Cleanliness
Most guests find rooms very clean and well kept, though a few reported stains, dust, or damp/mold odors in bathrooms. Housekeeping is scheduled every three days, which some felt was not frequent enough for towel changes.

窓があるが昼間でも真っ暗、朝が来たことは全く分からない。1階はチェックイン、アウトの受付の声や音がとても煩い。客が夜中3時に騒ごうともスタッフは注意すらしない。掃除は3日に1回なので2泊だとタオルもシーツも取り替えない。使い捨て歯ブラシやパジャマなどが置いているはずも無く、二度と泊まりたくない。

M’s Hotel Sanjo Wakoku is in an amazing location in Kyoto, not far from the really touristy parts but still in a more residential area. Very close to buses and subway, convenient for getting anywhere. We stayed here for 6 comfortable nights. Very clean, the rooms are small but make great use of the space. A/C works great. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Fast check in process. They are kind and allow you to keep the luggage in the lobby if you arrive before check in. The room is comfortable, clean, spacious and the hotel location is great. Highly recommend it :)

Clean and modern hotel in the nice Sanjo district. Very close to many temples, bus stops, subway station, convenience stores and more. Would go back again.

This hotel is located in a very quiet area in Kyoto but conveniently located rather close to 2 stations and multiple bus stops. The room was bigger than we had expected and met our needs. There isn’t much to do nearby, but because of the stations and bus stops close by, you can get anywhere!! The only weird thing is that the staff is usually not in the front desk of the lobby like in other hotels so when you check-out or check-in you might not have someone there to greet you!!

Great spot to stay. Convenient and close to the station. If you will explore kyoto through the day you can find a comfortable place to rest here. Essy check in and friendly staff. They answered questions through message very quickly when we need to confirm a luggage send out to them. Coin Laundry available on site.

The hotel is located on a residential street, short walk from the subway station. There is a self-check in at the hotel but staff was on site during our check-in. We received an email with the entry code the day prior to check-in. The staff at the reception didn't speak English but we were able to get by with google translate. We were able to store luggage here prior to check-in which was great. The location is great. It is on a quite street, yet short walk to the subway and the entertainment district and some tourist sites. The only downside is that the ground level rooms don't get any daylight as the window is blocked for privacy. There is laundry facility on site but no restaurant. Only a vending machine for drinks in front of the hotel. There are food stores and some restaurants short walk from the hotel. Overall, we had a good stay.

It was nestled in the residential area and a bit hard to locate. Being in a residential area, there weren't that many restaurants nearby. The room was clean and decent. No sunlight through the window though.

Ms chain of hotels have really narrowed down the experience to a minimum for the client at a maximum price for what you get. 4 o’clock check in is very inconvenient. No outdoor spaces or lounge at all. No bikes, breakfast, or beverage machines. We had to beg for one extra pillow. The windows don’t open, and the door make a constant high pitched humming noise from the draft. Pay more, stay elsewhere.

They only offer room cleaning once every 3 days. We found the towels provided to be quite thin and they didn't dry easily in the bathroom, so we had to ask for new towels on the second day. Thankfully they provided extra towels when we asked. We ran a load of laundry while we were there (700yen) with an extra drying cycle (200yen). Somehow our clothes seemed more wet after the extra drying time. Would not use their laundry facilities again. The mattress is very firm and the pillows offer no support. The room was clean enough and spacious for Japanese room sizes.
