Four (4) pillows on the bed! The room I was in had a very attractive modern design with Japanese aesthetic. It gave me the feeling of being in more than just a hotel. I did take advantage of a promotional (mid-week) deal, which made everything all the more appealing. I felt as though I was well above my usual price class. Location is in quiet residential area about 10-12 minutes walk from Kyoto train station. Closest morning eating options will be there. As long as you don't mind the morning walk .. or get breakfast supplies at konbini (hotel provides tea, coffee). Before arrival, I did wonder about the reception desk hours of noon to 9pm. It's not a 24h service hotel. But, it wasn't a problem at all. They had their system worked out and everything was explained at check-in. Also, I don't need 24h service.

Very clean rooms, well equipped, with washing machines on site which was very useful. The staff was very nice and helped us deliver our luggage to our next destination. The place felt cozy and well kept.

The location didn’t suit our trip purpose at all. We knew it wouldn’t be in the city center, but using the overcrowded bus every day was so tiring. Furthermore, it’s not really that close to the station either (with luggage it takes around 15 - 20 mins). So I wouldn’t recommend it for tourists. It’s perhaps more suitable for business trips.

This was a wonderful, budget hotel that provided exceptional value for money. Our room was small but cosy and big enough for the two of us. The room was clean and had everything we needed. There were washing machines that you could use in the hotel lobby area and this worked well for us. The rooms do not get cleaned every day but we were happy with this (1 clean if you stay 4 nights+, no clean for shorter stays). The hotel had a lovely feel and was around a 10-15 minutes easy walk from Kyoto station. There are no meal facilities but it was very easy to get to local shops and restaurants. A lovely, quiet location. We would love to go back.

There are no negatives about this hotel. We had a wonderful, quiet stay but be aware that the corridor/walls are thin - this could have been an issue if fellow guests were noisy but we certainly didn't have this problem. The hotel has reminders to keep corridor noise low.

Room is very specious, comfortable, and clean; equipped with all the modern amenities. Has a separate tatami room and traditional feel to it. Room service is scheduled based on the duration of your staying. Clean towels and trash collection can be serviced daily per request. There is an additional room tax collected at check-in. Aeon Mall and convenience stores are within walking distance. Highly recommend this place!

Additional hotel room tax.

- close proximity to Kyoto station (trains, subway) and multiple bus stops in the area - away from super touristy spots, so it's quiet and buses will have space on them - we had a quiet room on the top floor - room was spacious and beds were comfy - the lighting in the room is very nice, especially the dimmer light on the accent wall - staff was friendly and helpful, they held our luggage upon early arrival and after checking out for a few hours -we stayed for 6 nights and got 1 full housekeeping service in the middle of our stay - water always got hot quickly and they provided shampoos, plenty of towels, slippers and robes -there was a mini fridge in the room and the lobby has a microwave and vending machine which was handy

- There was a bright light right outside of our window that seemingly never turned off until maybe about 5am. It was impossible to completely block this light out using the blinds provided because they are not full blackout blinds. - Not sure who washes their towels (in-house or not). But there were a lot of long black hairs on every towel we unfolded. Not very appealing.. For the rest the room seemed very clean.

Hotel was about 10-15 minutes walk westwards from the kyoto station in a quiet area. Arrived just before 9 when reception was still open and received the room key. Hotel had also accepted our bags that were couriered from Osaka before our arrival and had put them in our room. The rooms are modern and clean with quite large bathrooms for Japan. The hotel also had laundry facilities which were easy to use. Rarely saw other guests at the hotel and the noise didn't carry much in the corridors.

On check out a junior staff member at reception was unhelpful on a number of things - including refusing to help us call a taxi when it was raining (his excuse was it was raining!) or to organise Ta-Q-bin. Needed a senior staff member to step in who was extremely helpful.

We stayed in the superior apartment and it was very comfortable and enough space for 4 pax (2 adults 2 teens). The bathroom is spacious, has double sinks and a separate toilet. Room is clean, provides sufficient amenities and the staff is very helpful and nice.

Location is 15 mins walk from Kyoto station. Pushing the luggages from station to property can be tiring for seniors and young kids.

The location was great once we found the best way to get to it from the station - the position in the back streets made it quite quiet and the 10 minute walk to the station wasn't onerous. There was space at the back of the room to place our three large bags. The desk staff were very helpful and their ability to speak English was an added bonus. However, not having them avaiable between 9pm and midday the next day was somewhat difficult.

The third bed we requested was a futon and, with no additional mattress, it was incredibly hard to sleep on - my husband eneded up having to share the king singles with myself and our 12 yr old if he was to get any sleep at all. The kettle had to be placed on the ground in order to access a powerpoint and the lighting was poor in the evening.

This was a highlight of our trip! The beds were super comfy, the staff were lovely and the neighbourhood was great. A short walk to Kyoto station with great cafes and restaurants around, but still super quiet at night! Loved having a tub to soak in after a long day of walking.

- In a very quiet location. Bus stop is a block up and Kyoto Station is about 3 blocks away. - Great local ramen places nearby. - Beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. - The separated bathtub and shower were great as well as a door between the toilet and the shower/tub area so you can use the bathroom while your spouse/travel partner uses the bathing facilities. - Laundry room was nice.

- There is no staff on the property except for between 12 pm - 9 pm. Thankfully we arrived before 9 pm that night in order to check in and get our keys. - The hotel uses actual physical keys instead of key cards. A bit of a pain to use the key to enter into the hotel and also the rooms. - The hotel is a few blocks from Kyoto Station, but you have to go through a couple of alleyways to get there. During the day, it's fine, but at night it's a bit eerie. However, Japan is very safe and other than the first night walking to the hotel, the walk back and forth to the hotel was fine.
