I stayed at this hotel with my husband and our two adult daughters. We had one double room and one twin room. Both of the rooms had been refurbished and were very clean, a reasonable size and very comfortable. We were in Japan for 3 weeks and this was certainly the best Western style hotel that we stayed in. We... More

This is a nice hotel with very helpful and courteous staff, all mod cons and excellent location next to Shijo subway station. I had a renovated single room on the 12th floor and although a little on the small side, had everything you could possibly need. TV - if you're into that kind of thing, tea making facilities, toiletries, etc.... More

I visited this place for just one day to attend a marriage of a colleague in the city. Although it was a very short stay, but it went wonderful and it was all due to the great guys there. They really co-operated very well and arranged a taxi also, to visit some tourist spots in the spare 2 hours. My... More

Nice hotel with friendly staff conveniently located on the main road directly above the Karasuma Shijo train station. It is within walking distance to the main shopping strip of Kyoto, Yasaka shrine & Marayuma park in the legendary Geisha district of Gion, and the famous huge, colourful and interesting Nishiki market. More walking along the Kamo river from Gion will... More

Stayed here for 6 nights in a triple room. From reading the reviews it looks like we got one of the old rooms as the decor was old and the mattresses hurt (springs poking into your back). The heating is quite good in the rooms (we thought the A/C switch was for air conditioning but it turned the heating up... More

Stayed here for a week in early April 2013. Good location, right by a subway station. Local bars and restaurants within a couple of minutes. Rooms comfortable, spotlessly clean. Staff friendly, polite and helpful Breakfast buffet, good choice of global foods... Fruit, vegetable, meat, fish, eggs, breads, dairy Shared area's with comfy sofas and chairs Bar within the hotel, but... More

Looking through previous reviews I think the ratings depend on whether you get a revamped room or not. Our room was functional but the bed and bathroom were small, decor tired with peeling wallpaper, and the bar is like drinking in a smoke filled coal cellar! Not that you can afford to drink there - good grief! It was sort... More

Very nice hotel. I dont think I will ever get used to the trash cans the size of toy for baby doll house ;) Small rooms but clean and neat. I dont think we had breakfast there which was a minus. Hotel had 2 computers in the lobby with free internet but the keyboard was always set to Japanese which... More

Well located (the subway entrance is literally just outside) and modern, we were quite happy with this hotel. We had a problem with our booking where we were given two single beds instead of a double and although the staff were not overly friendly, some spoke a little English and attempted to help. As students, were travelling on a budget... More
