Good sized room. Friendly staff. Walls were kind of thin and you could hear people above or next to you sometimes. You can walk to Nishiki market though and thats hard to beat. Plenty around or close by to eat or shop at in walking distance which is hard to beat!

The rooms were very small, but were cheap and within an 8 minute walk of a couple different subway stations. Overall, it was a super convenient place to stay and left me wanting for nothing except a little more space in the room.

Going into my trip I knew rooms in Japan were going to be small, however I didn’t find this room horribly small. It was spacious enough. Enjoyed all the amenities, free pajamas, and toiletry kits they gave out for free. Super convenient! It’s literally right off the main road of all shopping and nishiki market. I would book again just off of location!

The hotel is very clean, very closed to bus stop, train station, Gion, Daimaru, Takashimaya, Uniqlo, GU, Loft and other shopping places, also there are lots of food places you can go eat and enjoy. I’ll definitely go back and stay at this hotel whenever I visit Kyoto again in the future.

Will be back for sure

This property was outstanding - value, location. The room, while very compact has an ingenious design, meaning we did not feel feel cramped. The location is wonderful, close to the main areas that tourists visit. I would stay again.
