good location, friendly atmosphere, laundry machines.
FinlandAccommodation facilities are very complete, although it is a pocket hotel, but the shared facilities inside are very rich, you can really achieve the bag check-in. Besides,the location is excellent. It is every easy to take bus and subway, and Kyoto Station is only two stops away. The servers in the hotel are also very friendly. They try their best to help me.
ChinaVery clean, comfy (but tiny) room, great location, excellent price.
SpainAn amazingly placed hostel-like hotel with great amenities and wonderful staff. We had a quick and easy check-in, then went straight upstairs to our room which was exactly as expected. The toilets and showers were clean and fully stocked at all times.
United KingdomEverything: the facilities, the rooms with super sound proofing, cleanliness, the pjs, the location which was perfect and the easy check-in/out - would highly recommend - loved it! In the foyer, there’s a great information board. No 2 recommendation for eating was a teppanyaki just around the corner and the food is to die for! The Hawaiian egg place was outstanding too. Just to make you aware that there are 2 accommodations and we got mixed up on arrival (the other is closer to the main JR station but this one is definitely a better location for everything else).
United KingdomLoved everything about this place. I would stay there again without question. I highly recommend it to travellers.
South AfricaI loved the place overall. The rooms were highly comfortable and the bathrooms/showers were super clean. They also provide necessities and sleep wear, which was nice. I really liked how close it was to everything, being only a short walk from public transport, different stores, and the Nishiki Market. Perfect if you just need a place to rest after a long day of exploring!
NorwayI was impressed with the cleaniness pof the facility. The bath and showers were way better than I expected since they were "shared". The location was near perfect since I was close to where I wanted to go. What was exceptional was the information they had (in English) for travelers. I NEVER been at a place that did so much for visitors.
United StatesEverything are thoughtful. Also has great accessibility.
TaiwanThe room, showers and toilets were clean. In the tablet that comes with the room you can check if the showers are free (this helped because we were in a floor with no shower room and instead of having to go back and forth to check if the showers were free we could see it from our room). They provide you with lounging clothes, slippers and a basket with towels that you can use to carry your things when going to the showers. In the mixed floors you need a card to acces the female and male bathroom (which are separated) and that's an extra safety measure I appreciated. It was also quite close to Gion so you could walk there from the hotel and there were plenty of restaurants around.
