Good location, small but ok rooms, provided shampoo and all other equipment. I was asked to pay additional taxes over the bill, which was no on bill that booking provided, when i asked what are those taxes, reception guy keep on saying these are city tax( which was already included in total price) Basically he tried to charge us twice city tax, and the end I call booking which said we should not pay! So we didnt, but he insisted on paying even after checkout. Buy the comments I that lots of people were asked to pay those fees, which they should not!

Love the decor...bed size..location. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe in this area...its literally where the river walk ends and near the back alley of goin. Bus stop is right in front..7/11 and restaurants next door. Quite area but walkable to main streets ..literally 15-20mins walk to main shijo/ kawaramachi area high street . Staff were wonderful and very helpful ...no problem ordering taxi for me and friendly . Exactly what it is in the picture guys!!!!

I think that what I liked the most, was the location of the hotel - close to everything. Another thing that I appreciated and really liked was the service given at the reception. They were super.

Excellent location. 5-10 minutes walk to all the happening places yet away from the main crowd when you need to rest. So convenient and budget friendly. East access to all the trains and buses. I'm a clean freak and if I say it's clean it's very clean. Staff are always so helpful and speaks English specially Sean! I thought he went to school in North America but he said he learnt his English watching A LOT of YouTube :) Great stay! Will definitely stay here if I go back to Kyoto hopefully it will be kept the same way.

Cleanliness, location, walking distance to Gion and the city centre. Also easy to reach from Kyoto Station by bus 205. Although the rooms are very small, the space is well organized. There is a desk, a minibar, a large TV, hangers for clothes. In the bathroom, the facilities include a magic toilet with a heated seat, and hot water for washing intimate areas, a bathtub with very good shower pressure, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair elastic, makeup remover disc, razor blade, containers with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel. Opposite the hotel is a 7-11 very good for breakfast. The hotel provides a bathrobe and slippers. We went in winter in February when the temperatures are low, 5-10 degrees Celsius, and the air conditioning in the room did not provide enough heat. So the owners put an air heater in the room for extra heat, and an air purifier for the most sensitive (we didn't turn it on)

The location is excellent (10min walk to key metro/train, next to bus stop, walking distance to Gion), surprisingly quiet although next to à larger road. The room is nicely bright and quite comfortable despite having a big suitcase. Staff is polite and helpful, they speak very good English. There is a coffee machine, tea and a microwave in the small lobby. It is an excellent value for money.

The location of this hotel can absolutely not be beat. It's right by a bus stop (literally) and near famous tourist places like Kiyomizudera on foot. It is very comfortable and the beds are nice. At night, the front door and the elevator are locked, and a keyboard is needed yo come in, which I think is a good idea for safety at night. Perfect little hotel for a weekend in Kyoto and a great place to go if you want to hit a few bars and Izakaya in the area.

Location was nice. Easy to find and the train station is walking distance, so is Gion and a lot of restaurants and konbinis. Lots of small quiet streets to walk through to avoid the just areas as well. Personel was friendly and hotel was clean.

The position is excellent, right in front of a bus stop on the Kyoto Station - Kinkaku-ji route. Rooms are clean, new, lovely, full of light, reasonably big for Japan standards and fully equipped (mini fridge, kettle, small table and chairs). I could see Kiyomizu-dera from my window! Staff was always nice

Great location, nice view. 10 minutes walk from Kawaramachi bars, 10 minutes to Gion area and 20 minutes from Ninenzaka All you need is near. Subway, bus, food places. It was good deal for top floor corner room.
