The best hotel to stay in Kyoto. The hotel’s conveniently located near the trains, but is also in the quieter side of Kyoto which I prioritise on my holidays. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The hotel itself had great breakfast an ambience to the hotel. 5/5 stars!!

Location was good, walking distance to Kyoto Station. Got the superior twin room, which was a decent size compared to other hotel rooms. However, there was no view from our window. Room amenities and daily housekeeping was great. They offered free drinks in the lounge. Breakfast was okay for the price, not a lot of choices for a buffet. Had better breakfast elsewhere.

The hotel is nice and near the train station. They offer complimentary soft drinks and coffee starting at 10:30. You are also given 3-1000 yen vouchers to use toward food and drinks within the hotel. There are pay washer/dryers for guests' use and an onsen. The rooms are nice with a daily complimentary bottled water per person. However, the room lacked suffient outlets to charge everyone's device. Also, nothing to hang towels on or closet space for clothes. We had to live out of our suitcases with insuffient space to store the suitcases so one was open in front of the door.

Loved this hotel; rooms were the largest of all the hotels we stayed while in Japan. Breakfast offered a variety that didn’t change much from day to day but it was great. About a 5 minute walk from Kyoto station where connecting trains and buses are easily available. Of note, most day tours meet up about 3 minutes walk from the hotel. The only thing to note; some of the main areas of Kyoto a tourist may want to see are about a 40-50 minute walk from the hotel. Highly recommend this hotel, absolutely loved it, thank you to the wonderful staff!!!

Our biggest complaint was the air quality in the rooms. We became heavily congested but found that went away after a few hours out of the room. We’d just come from a hotel in Tokyo and did not have this issue and we each were taking allergy meds each day. While there was not an odor it seemed as though they knew of the issue as an air purifier was in the room at check in. This didn’t help. We ended up finding we could open the window about 4 inches to get an air flow and disabled their a/c system. This did make it a bit better. Additionally, there were small gnats or flies in the room at check in and throughout the stay. I heard others complaining in an elevator so we knew it was not just us having a suboptimal experience. One other note: There was only one laundry machine on our floor with a 2 hour cycle for one load, so it was always in use.

Wonderful hotel! Beds are so comfy. Although room is a little small, it’s a little big already for Japan standards. We had the standard double room, and the beds are twin XL beds, a bit tight for 2 ppl to sleep in, but they did make the sofa bed wonderfully for my daughter so we were all comfy. Love how they have free drinks, and free locker service. It’s close to the station like 2 blocks which is not too bad. Breakfast was good. Amenities were good. Staff is excellent! I can definitely recommend!

We loved this hotel: great location only 2 blocks up from Kyoto Station Hachijo East exit, big room for Japan, very clean, staff very nice and helpful and some spoke English, room and hotel very clean, AC worked well and could be controlled from the room, free drink station was great, having a public hot bath is great, and having washer/dryer is great. The were only a few areas that were lacking: 1) There’s only one usb port in each superior twin rooms that I booked. That meant only one person could charge their cell phone/device at a time. Good thing we brought extra adapters so that allowed more than one person to charge their phone or other devices at the same time. 2) There is only one public hot bath (on the women’s side) so it was very crowded much of the time, in the actual hot bath itself, as well as in the changing area, shower area, vanity area, and entrance/exit area. That said, we were very happy that they had a public hot bath at all, so the inconvienence was relatively minor. 3) The washer/dryer worked well for us because we followed instructions carefully, especially Step 0 to clean/rinse out the unit before starting your wash. The problem was there wasn’t enough units for the size of the hotel/number of guests, and because its a combination unit, the duration is 2 hours automatic minimum time required per load. Unless you wash clothes early in morning or very late night (after midnight or before 6:30am), its hard to find an available unit.

The hotel is nice and near the train station. They offer complimentary soft drinks and coffee starting at 10:30. You are also given 3-1000 yen vouchers to use toward food and drinks within the hotel. There are pay washer/dryers for guests' use and an onsen. The rooms are nice with a daily complimentary bottled water per person. However, the room lacked suffient outlets to charge everyone's device. Also, nothing to hang towels on or closet space for clothes. We had to live out of our suitcases with insuffient space to store the suitcases so one was open in front of the door.

The best hotel to stay in Kyoto. The hotel’s conveniently located near the trains, but is also in the quieter side of Kyoto which I prioritise on my holidays. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The hotel itself had great breakfast an ambience to the hotel. 5/5 stars!!

Loved this hotel; rooms were the largest of all the hotels we stayed while in Japan. Breakfast offered a variety that didn’t change much from day to day but it was great. About a 5 minute walk from Kyoto station where connecting trains and buses are easily available. Of note, most day tours meet up about 3 minutes walk from the hotel. The only thing to note; some of the main areas of Kyoto a tourist may want to see are about a 40-50 minute walk from the hotel. Highly recommend this hotel, absolutely loved it, thank you to the wonderful staff!!!

Our biggest complaint was the air quality in the rooms. We became heavily congested but found that went away after a few hours out of the room. We’d just come from a hotel in Tokyo and did not have this issue and we each were taking allergy meds each day. While there was not an odor it seemed as though they knew of the issue as an air purifier was in the room at check in. This didn’t help. We ended up finding we could open the window about 4 inches to get an air flow and disabled their a/c system. This did make it a bit better. Additionally, there were small gnats or flies in the room at check in and throughout the stay. I heard others complaining in an elevator so we knew it was not just us having a suboptimal experience. One other note: There was only one laundry machine on our floor with a 2 hour cycle for one load, so it was always in use.

Wonderful hotel! Beds are so comfy. Although room is a little small, it’s a little big already for Japan standards. We had the standard double room, and the beds are twin XL beds, a bit tight for 2 ppl to sleep in, but they did make the sofa bed wonderfully for my daughter so we were all comfy. Love how they have free drinks, and free locker service. It’s close to the station like 2 blocks which is not too bad. Breakfast was good. Amenities were good. Staff is excellent! I can definitely recommend!

Everything about the hotel was excellent. From the friendly staff, the amazing breakfast menu, and the convenient location, being next to Kyoto station. If we were to travel to Kyoto again, we will definitely choose to stay here again!

Great little room! We loved that it came with a little sitting area and tea for the mornings. Perfect location by Kyoto station as well.

We loved this hotel: great location only 2 blocks up from Kyoto Station Hachijo East exit, big room for Japan, very clean, staff very nice and helpful and some spoke English, room and hotel very clean, AC worked well and could be controlled from the room, free drink station was great, having a public hot bath is great, and having washer/dryer is great. The were only a few areas that were lacking: 1) There’s only one usb port in each superior twin rooms that I booked. That meant only one person could charge their cell phone/device at a time. Good thing we brought extra adapters so that allowed more than one person to charge their phone or other devices at the same time. 2) There is only one public hot bath (on the women’s side) so it was very crowded much of the time, in the actual hot bath itself, as well as in the changing area, shower area, vanity area, and entrance/exit area. That said, we were very happy that they had a public hot bath at all, so the inconvienence was relatively minor. 3) The washer/dryer worked well for us because we followed instructions carefully, especially Step 0 to clean/rinse out the unit before starting your wash. The problem was there wasn’t enough units for the size of the hotel/number of guests, and because its a combination unit, the duration is 2 hours automatic minimum time required per load. Unless you wash clothes early in morning or very late night (after midnight or before 6:30am), its hard to find an available unit.
