Great Value Stay!!!

Great value for the price. The room was perfect size for me. Would have been fine if my wife was with me, and maybe 1 child, but that's probably max. But it was clean and location was convenient. Combini in 1 minute walking distance, and many restaurants near Kyoto station. I'd definitely stay there again when back in Kyoto.

The bathroom was smaller than any other bathroom I’ve encountered in any Asian county. The toilet on the Shinkansen has better legroom. I had to use the toilet with my knees outside the open bathroom door. The ceiling of the bathroom has a duct over the shower, limiting the headroom to lower than my shoulder, and the tub is too small to sit in for anyone bigger than a child. There were other guests on my floor that were renting multiple rooms and spent their evening talking to each other loudly in the hallway, and when I asked them to be quiet and go into their rooms, they complained to the staff about me. Luckily, the staff were understanding and there were no problems, but it was still a bad experience. The staff were excellent and friendly, the problems were not the staff fault at all, the problems were the size of the bathroom and the other guests.

It was easily accessible from the Kyoto Station and was clean. The room size was a bit bigger than what we've experienced with an APA in Osaka but the bathroom was smaller. My husband is 5'8" and the ceiling of the shower space was just about an inch or two from his head. The front desk staff tried to assist some questions we had but English was minimal to none. All in all, if we ever return to Kyoto, I would book this hotel again.

Don't know why it doesn't rate higher. Very close to Kyoto Stn, so was great after getting off the train with suitcases. Clean, friendly staff. Room small by Western standards but knew that when booked.

Nice option for budget sensitive travelers

This is a budget hotel, great price but very small rooms as you can imagine. Nevertheless, it was clean and everything was in good shape. Not much of a view but that's ok because we were mainly there to sleep. It's close to everything, no issue finding stores, good restaurants and as close to the train station as possible. Overall a good place to stay but don't expect a 5 star luxury hotel.
