    My biggest concern was the bed. I might have been unlucky and got a bad room, but you would literally sink in the mattress and feel the metal springs on your back. I woke up every morning with back pain : (

    The room was big, well equipped and clean. It’s very convenient to have a fridge and a microwave. Nested in a quiet and typical neighbourhood. Unbeatable price.

    Everything was perfect and convenient.

    The room was clean and spacious, the staff were friendly and helpful, the location of the room was close to the central train station of Kyoto. We picked this room because it was convenient for us to be closer to the central station, for easy access to other places like Osaka, Nara and attractions around the Kyoto). The surrounding area was residential, with less tourists but please take this into account and respect its peacefulness. There are convenience stores close to the room. There were also detailed instructions for everything in the room, really helpful!!

    Location was not the most central, but close enough to the bus stops. No cleaning service during the stay, but all amenities are provided (including vacuum cleaner, fresh towels etc.)

    Spacious room (compared to our other stays in Tokyo and Osaka). Possibility to do laundry, which was free of charge.

    The mattresses were too soft and I could feel the springs through them. Probably time to replace them.

    Full laundry amenities including a dryer. The staff were very helpful. Extra towels, bath maps, beverage, disposable cutlery were freely available at the front desk. The hotel was very clean.

    The accommodation gives more of a 'hostel vibe' rather than a hotel; there are lots of rules everywhere (no check in after 9pm, no luggage storage, no check out after 10am, do not turn off the bathroom ventilation, don't use the AC to hang your clothes... and so on). I imagine it is a consequence of having had to deal with disrespectful tourists in the past, but if you want to feel a little 'spoiled' and taken care of, then it might not be the vibe you are looking for.

    Very well located hotel, at a walking distance from the Kyoto station and not too far from the more touristic area. The bedrooms are spacious, with a comfortable bed and a good sized bathroom for a very convenient price.

    It was very much self-service. If you are staying longer, they won't clean your room for you. You change your sheets and clean your room. The dryers are very small and take a long time to dry the clothes as most of the washers don't have a spin dry function.

    There was free self-service laundry. It is close to a couple of good ramen restaurants, and there was a convenience store around the corner. Not too far from the kyoto station--about 15-18mins walk. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. I appreciated it very much!

    Written instructions, especially for checkout, felt quite curt and not very pleasant - honestly not something I care about, but some might. The staff themselves were lovely and polite though.

    Very low cost, quiet and convenient location, amenities provided including washer and dryer and detailed instructions in both pdf and printed form.

    Quite a few rules (!) and couldn’t store luggage prior to check in or after check out.

    All was good with the room, location was great, quiet street, walking distance from a lot of things!

    The water in the shower was warm but wasn't that warm I would like it to be. But it was still alright.

    It is located close to the Kyoto station, the night live is a little further though (but you can still get there walking or taking a public transport). The room was private and quiet with a very comfortable bed. There was tea and coffeee and a kettle pot and a fridge and a microwave directly in the room. The receptionist were nice and communication very smooth.

    I stayed at the hotel for two nights and was very satisfied during this time. The hotel's location was close to the station and the center, so I could easily get to other places. My room was very comfortable and clean, it was very favorable to have appliances such as a refrigerator, microwave, where I could easily prepare my food. There is also a laundry room where you can wash your clothes for free. In general, it was a place that I liked to stay for my short-term trip.
