- "We absolutely loved this hotel! It was beautiful, the service was amazing, and it was centrally located in Kyoto. There’s a Family Mart right next door, which is very convenient. The washer/dryer is so great to have in the room. The only drawback is that the beds are too firm. " - "The location is extremely good; I would definitely stay here again. Great sized room for a family of five if you don't mind sharing double beds. The bunk bed was a little hot at the top level but the air con was cold, that's just Kyoto summer for you! The large window and the night view was great, the washing machine was very clean and useful. Familymart literally on the doorstep. The toiletries are plentiful and good quality. My only issue I could find was the patchy WiFi and the TV not working via internet, only local channels, but I'm sure the staff would have fixed it (I did not ask for help as I didn't need to use it). The staff are friendly, the free coffee/water/ice machine is good in summer. The shower is large and the water is hot enough. Overall this is one of the best places we have stayed! "

- "Loved staying here. Room was huge and spacious--much bigger than other hotels in Japan. Neighborhood was quiet and it felt like an experience to be in a more residential part of town than others. That said, it wasn't as close to shopping/restaurants, but there are still plenty of options around. We found that the bus was sometimes more convenient than the subway, and a good way to see the lay of Kyoto. It did take a little bit to get used to the automated system of checking in, but totally fine once you got used to it. We had to request new towels once through the chat option in the lobby and within an hour we found new towels dropped outside our door--swapped old towels which were taken away promptly. Room itself was clean, great amenities with the kitchenette and washer/dryer, AC worked great--no complaints and would definitely recommend and stay again!"
