The hotel has a modern feel, friendly staff, coin washing machine and dryer; and essential toiletries that made our stay far more pleasant. The room is tiny, but ok for a few days. One disappointing part is that they don’t provide luggage delivery service (takkyubin). It’s within walking distance to a train station or bus stops.

Great hotel, really clean.

Kyoto is a lovely city and the hotel is just as good, even though is a little far from the station, is close from Subway station and a bunch of bus line, which is the main way to get around the city. The staff is great and really helpful, the room is not small and fits great. Would definitely stay there again.

Pleasant Stay in Kyoto

It's a pleasant stay in this hotel. The quality of toiletries was good. Staff are friendly but don't speak very well English. Free laundry, local and international calls are very useful. No keys to room as it's quite high tech to use codes to get in and out of the hotel and your room. The M's Information Centre is great. Free pick up and excursions available. Do need to book them in advance. Staff at the Information Centre are brilliant, very helpful. I shall use this chain hotel again. The Chinese domestic lady was extremely helpful. Location of the hotel is good but you need to research how to find it as it is at the back street but you can see it on the main road. You do need to have your mobile phone available to pick up the access code on the day of your check in. The Information Centre has a demo of check in and check out - it is quite easy. I have experienced staff manning the reception at different hours, which was useful.

Amazing! Very friendly and polite staff there. Our stay was so good we booked a couple extra days there. Everything inside was newly updated so it is a very clean place. Best bang for your Yen in Kyoto!

Hotel close to the Hankyu line (Omiya Station). No daily housekeeping, only every 3 days. WiFi didn't work, even after mentioning it at the staff at the 'reception'. Overall, you get what you pay for. In this case, not too much.

There’s only room service every three days. Hotel is adopting smart technology so expect less staff & more interfaces to interact with. Might not be suitable for people who are not tech savvy. The room feels weird as we kept waking up in the middle of the night
