Disliked: Cleanliness
The laundry was inefficient — they only have two washers and two dryers for a large number of rooms. They also impose time limits on using the machines, which, while understandable, can be frustrating when you have several people sharing a room and a lot of laundry to do. We were basically told to stop using the dryer even though our clothes were still wet.
You cannot beat the location of this hotel. The property isn't the newest and prices can sometimes get high during certain seasons and the month of arrival..., but if you can snag this place early, you'll have one of the most centrally located, transit accessible hotels in all of Kyoto.
The hotel is old but well maintained, with a great location. It can be a bit noisy during the day, but it’s quiet at night, which makes it easier to rest. The biggest downside is the Wi-Fi, which is quite poor.
Nice room, central to practically everything. Walking, bus, train, taxi.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff were lovely and have no complaints. However, the overall hotel is extremely outdated, feels like nothing has been updated since the 80s. Everything is yellow from smoking over the years, beds and pillows are uncomfortable, duvets have a bad texture.
The absolute worst hotel.Ive ever stayed in. I ended up checking out early. The room felt dirty, the nightstand table broke as soon as we touched it, the refrigerator shelf fell off as soon as we opened the door. A sheet had a stain on it and a bed comforter was ripped. When we told the desk staff about the conditions and wanted a different room they claimed.they were sold out and couldnt offer us one but instead handed me a new sheet and a new comforter to change them myself!
The bathroom is extremely dangerous and the size of an airplane bathroom. To get into the shower requres stepping over a giant bathtub wall and a step up into the bathroom.
I was charged a significant amount of money to check out 2 days early which I paid because I needed to just get out of thisnhell hole (but will be disputing due to the unsanitary conditions)
Street noise was heard all night long the 1 night I stayed. The only likable thing about this property is its walkability. I dont often leave reviews but feel I need to warn others.

Liked: Cleanliness
Location is really good, right next to shopping streets and shopping centers and bus stops.
I got a corner room so can be a little noisy and space is at odd angles. And there's not enough lighting in the room. Otherwise, the bed is good, there's hairdryer and kettle and study desk.

Would Recommend
While dated in appearance, the room was comfortable, spacious for Japan, and conveniently located.
We enjoyed a 3 night stay at Kyoto Central in the Japanese Western Suite B with 2 Queen and 2 twin futon. Ample space for 4 people. Front desk is on 2nd floor, staff were kind & efficient and our sent bags were waiting. Small elevator or stairs from street into the hotel. Our room was on 2nd which was convenient to walk past the ice machine and laundry room. The separate toilet room was quite small to close the door at your knees. Tub/shower combo was nice, towels little thin. Mini fridge in closet and table with floor cushion/seat back we moved to lay out futons. A little small when opening luggage for four people. Nice view of main street, lots of shopping/dining at Pontocho Alley, Nishiki Market & Kawaramachi right out the door. Taxi depot across street - short ride to Kiyomizu Temple. Transit from Gion-shijo station to Fushimi-inari Station was 220Yen. We would stay here again, the location is great!
