This is my second stay at this hotel. The hotel is very Japanese. There were only few non-Asians staying. We had a nonsmoking room in the 14th floor with a huge queen? bed. That was fine. The bathroom was OK and there was that nice TOTO toilet with bidet etc. (I would like to get one of those for my... More

Hotel is on Shijo Dori, three short blocks away from Subway station and convenient to buses. Many banks, restaurants, and convenience stores along Shijo Dori. Room was comfortable and the usual (small) size for Japan. Very good experience, highly recommended.

Great location! BUT… we had 2 rooms, and one of them was permeated with cigarette smoke (in a non-smoking room). When we arrived we immediately noticed the smell and complained. The staff used an air cleaning machine and assured us that after 2 hours the air would be cleaned. Unfortunately, the smoke was in the bedding, draperies, everywhere! Consequently, the... More

The hotel staff are very friendly and very helpful. Felt welcome from the start. Our room was of decent size and had a very large and comfortable bed. Although the hotel rooms may be in need of some redecoration.

Stayed for 4 nights. Located in city center, the hotel is close to bus station and subway, taking about the same time to everywhere. The good thing is that we don’t need to start from Kyoto station and wait the bus in a long line. The room was clean but a little small and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom was... More

A very modern, no-frills kind of place...although they do seem to have spent money where it counts: the mattresses are extremely comfortable and the pillows are great. The rooms are on the small side, but far bigger than many other hotels I've stayed in in Japan. The hotel is within walking distance of most major train and bus lines, and... More

Better than most hotels I have stayed in this price-range. Clean, modern, nice. I would stay again. Location is not in the heart of Kyoto, but not bad at all.
