Excellent location for walking to shopping and historic areas as weak as nightlife. Much better than station area for staying in.

Nice bathroom and comfortable beds! Jonathan was friendly and helpful. No view as the windows are frosted, but my room was quiet. There is a bus right outside.

It's a clean and serviceable hotel. The staff was kind and accommodating. There is almost zero English versions of the information about the area attend the hotel, but as we have been to Kyoto before, it an issue.

On the main road in Kyoto, but back enough from the street that sleeping it was plenty quiet. Room was small but functional, bathroom could have been cleaner. Location is killer though and there wasn't anything overly bad. Solid stay if you want a simple place to crash after long days walking around

Was close to everything I wanted to see on this trip. Only a few minutes by bus (which was right outside the hotel) to the Gion district and only 30mins to some of the more out there attractions.
Plus, a very spacious bathroom!

I booked 3 non-smoking rooms. They gave us 3 rooms that smelled like cigarettes. When confronting the staff and asking to change rooms they changed one room for us on a different floor. On the other floor it was okay no smoke smell, but they only changed one room for us. The next night we asked if they were able to change the other 2 rooms and they admitted the floor was converted from smoking to non-smoking recently which is why it still smelled like smoke.
Definitely would not recommend if you want non-smoking rooms, they weren't able to properly accommodate our booking even though it was booked in advance.
Other than that its pretty much the same as other similar priced hotels but that was definitely a bad experience. We didn't have this issue at any other hotel we stayed at in Japan.

Lovely room and very nice bathroom. However my stay was impacted by several issues. First the safe in my room was not working and it took some time to fix. But worse was the fact that the advertised laundry facilities were not available, with only one machine working very slowly and staff advising me to go to an outside laundry 5 minutes walk away. I asked if the problem would be fixed as we were there 3 days but it seems it wasn't a priority for this hotel to give customers what they paid for. I think this problem should have been explained at check in before taking payment.
Also one of the lifts broke down..but that at least was fixed fairly quickly.
Would probably not stay here again because of these issues.
