M's Hotel Sanjo Wakoku

Overall comfortable

Good spot for easy access to Gion and downtown Kyoto. Staff lovely and helpful. Room clean but bathroom smelled very much of mould/dampness. No USB ports for any charging.

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.

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.

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.
