to get started.

When we first arrived we were given a double room that was very small and we asked the reception lady Ms Doi if we could get a bigger room . Without hesitation she showed us R811 which has two twin beds and a seating area and immediately helped us move everything ! Hotel directly opposite station and walking distance ( if u like walking 😉) to Nishiki Market & beautiful nearby trains . We took the bus to Gion which was efficient and easy and had the best Coffee at Yamamoto in Gion! Easy access to train line for day trip to Hiroshima ! Hotel staff helped with printing of memos! Well placed , lovely friendly staff ! Nothing was a problem ! We chose a room with no breakfast as there are plenty of places in the station and around the Hotel! Definitely will recommend this hotel! The hotel staff even kept out luggage as we went to Yokohama for a day trip to watch South Africa play Wales 🙏

Great location within Kyoto right beside the main train/bus station. Room was very clean and was very quiet given all the traffic outside which allowed for a really good night's sleep.

The location was very convenient and the hotel was pretty good for Japan/price. The room and bathroom were small, but enough. The breakfast was OK, but not with a great variety. The hotel gave some coupons for discounts at the Kyoto tower, which was nice.

The room was very small with a small double bed up against a wall. Difficult with 2 suitcases & not much room in the bathroom. Probably better for 1 person. The lift system took us a while to get used to. Once we worked it all out it was ok. Good place for a short stay.
The location was great with the bus terminal & train station across the road & accessible through the underground walkway. Lots of shopping & eating areas around. Tourist information centre in the building with discounted tickets to the tower. Apart from the small room, which we got used to, it was very good.

“Extremely expensive for what is has to offer”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night

There is no signage in the train station to reach the hotel even though the hotel located accross the street has signage for direction. The hotel room is so small, a checked in luggage barely fits through the hallway. The bed is placed right under a ventilation out take which brings in air from outside - i mean restaurant smells from outside. The staff speak very little english and they freeze if they have more than 3 customers waiting to be checked in. The breakfast has a good selection - if you are local. If you are a western tourist, bread, yogurt and a small variety of salads and baked eggs should be sufficient. The reception is located at the second to last floor, which makes check out a real pain. Even though they make you pay when you arrive and there is no minibar, there is no option to simply drop off the key in a box in the elevator or on the floor for example. The walls are cracked and the hotel doesn't even provide one bottle of water. This hotel is NOT worth USD 120 a night under any circumstance. The hotel does give 10% discount vouchers to Kyoto Tower and the public bath located in the hotel.
The internet is decent. There are a lot of stores and restaurants around the hotel. The train station is right accross the street from the hotel.
