Grocery store nearby and great food options are nearby. Beds and overall room is great. They have paid breakfast but also a free breakfast with sugar, waffles and some bread and a toaster oven. The overall hotel doesn't really look like a hotel from the outside, as inside they have a bar facing the outside and then the check-in is a little deeper in so that was a little hard to find

The best hotel from our Japan trip! Made us really fall in love with Kyoto. For a modern hotel it really emanates a traditional spirit. We had an entry way, with seperate rooms for toilet, shower and bedroom with a sliding door. The furnishings were great, and it was incredible comfortable. We almost didn’t want to leave!

The breakfast set that came with our booking was the highlight of our stay at this hotel. It was delicious and very filling. We also got really lucky that we were give a room on the top floor with a really nice view of Kyoto. If it wasn't for that, I would only give this rating 3 stars. However, my big complaint is that this does not feel like you're staying at a 4 star hotel. We stayed at a 4 star hotel in Tokyo and the room there was much bigger. The room at this hotel felt cramped with our luggage. The bathroom at this hotel also does not have a tub. All the other hotels we've stayed at during our Japan vacation had a bath tub except for this one. In my opinion, this place is more of a 3 star hotel.

I really enjoyed staying here. It’s about a seven-minute walk from the subway. There are a few restaurants in the area, and also some 24-hour grocery stores. The breakfast was good, the hotel is very clean and organized, and the location and very central. Great service and a friendly staff. We had a noisy neighbor during our stay, and the hotel changed and upgraded our room for the inconvenience! Really didn’t expect that. I would stay there again! We highly recommend Bungalow for a drink and form BBQ!

I love this hotel. It is very safe, there are a big grocery store within a few feet, easy access to the bus station, walkable distance to Shijo subway station, Nijo Castle, and Don Quijote(this one is about 20 min walk, doable.) The room is clean, the price is reasonable and staff is super helpful and friendly. I totally recommand this hotel.
