“location, the room cleanliness, and friendly hotel staff”

“Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Location is good. Within walking distance to many sites. Rooms are generally clean and well furnished. Room heater works well and kept us warm while it was less than 5 degree C outside.”

“The staffs are very friendly and supportive. Hotel decoration and facilities is very nice. Location also nice in good walking distance between Omicho Market and the Higashiyama area.”

“This place fostered a feeling of friendliness. The communal areas were well used. The staff were lovely. The beds and pillows were comfortable.”

“Friendly staff at the front desk; fluent in English. Really great location, just a couple minutes walk away from Omicho market. Single bed room was on the larger side by Japanese hotel standards and the whole place was very clean. Front desk will hold on to your luggage before check-in.”

“This is a wonderful hotel with kind, helpful staff. The rooms are clean and there are plentiful shared bathrooms and showers to use. The rooftop jacuzzi is awesome. The bar makes a great drink. The breakfast is a little skimpy (no eggs or hot food) but great coffee and some toast to get you going. All in all a mostly great stay if not for the bad mattresses.”
