建物や設備はさすがに古さが見られますが、従業員の方の対応や朝食はとても良かったです。とにかく値段が手頃で朝食付だったので連泊しました。瀬田大津駅のすぐそばで近くに美味しいベーカリーもありレンタカー借りての大津旅行をお安く満喫できました。

バスケ観戦のため利用させていただきました。 瀬田駅から非常に近く、フロントの方も丁寧に対応されていました。 平日の宿泊でしたがとてもお安く、部屋も十分な広さでとても快適に過ごせました。 周辺駅前にコンビニもあるのがとても助かりました。

Friendly and very helpful staff! Clean hotel with amenities. 2 minutes away from the subway station. Many restaurants around the area. Despite being close to the subway and being located in a residential area, nights are surprisingly quiet. I would definitely come back on my next visit.

It was fine for two nights, but like all Japanese hotel rooms it’s super small, more suitable for one person as we were 2, and with suitcase we were on top of each other. That being said, at least the room had a window and the room was super clean

This hotel is not on the usual tourist trail. We always have a rental car so tend to venture off the beaten track. Staff were super friendly. Not much English but that’s just Japan and part of the adventure. Breakfast was typical Japanese hotel breakfast. Don’t ever go to Japan and expect an American Breakfast. They serve salad amongst other things. But pastries and yoghurt were also available. There is a traditional izakaya below the hotel for dinner. And convenience stores across the road. The hotel parking was easy to find and only ¥800 per night. Short walk to hotel from the parking.

A very convenient hotel for touring Kyoto, situated next to a train station. No nonsense hotel. No food for westerners at the breakfast buffet...

This hotel was right next to the Seta Train Station (we used the JR Pass) and it was very convenient in catching trains to the various sites in Kyoto. The room was very small and we had an XL Twin, but the staff was super friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was pretty good. The only things we didn't care for was the cold sausage, cold scrambled eggs and lukewarm salads. The coffee maker also took a long time to brew one cup at a time. But the pastries and bread were great.

その日、雨降り始めてしまい傘がないが、駅からホテルまでのルートが駅から歩道の上には屋根があり、助かりました。ホテルまであと30Mくらいまで屋根なしでもパッと行けます。 部屋にはツイン部屋にもかかわらず、スーツケース開くものが1つしかなく、残念。(ほとんどホテルがそうだよね💧)
