Excellent stay in GION

This place was top notch and the best accommodation during our 2.5 weeks in Japan. Centrally located and close to the train station and bus terminal for local busses. It was immaculately clean and extremely spacious. The washer and dryer worked wonderfully. And the feel of an apartment was a welcome change compared to the smaller typical accommodations in Japan. The person at the desk was very helpful and if they were not around, used the tablet provided to phone in for help.

Absolutely love this place. It was our first time in Kyoto and we stumbled upon this place and booked because we wanted the convenience of a washer/dryer after 5 days of travel in Tokyo, and it was a plus that it was cutely decorated. We were so surprised upon arrival to find the place was basically like a one bedroom apartment (so much room!) equipped with everything you’d possibly need to make yourself comfortable. We enjoyed all of the room we had with separate spaces for toilet, shower/bath, laundry, kitchen/dining, living room (couches tv) and also bedroom! Theres also a private onsen to reserve but we unfortunately did not have the time to book. Although the place is mostly self-served, including check-in, we were greeted by staff during check-in and check-out and we were completely blown away by the customer service. I also wanted to add that although these rooms may accommodate multiple travelers, it is important to ensure you’re booking with the correct number of travelers in your party as the base rate may differ a tiny bit. Kyoto now holds a special place in our hearts and we can’t wait to come back. We’ll definitely be booking this place again when we do! Thank you so much for helping make this trip a memorable one.

Great Hotel for access to Kyoto

There are two primary reasons I picked this hotel, and the hotel satisfied my needs very well. 1. I needed to be close to Rohm Theater Kyoto for a J-pop concert I was attending. 2. I needed a laundry machine in the unit for the Kyoto leg of our trip. The location was about a 10 minute walk to Rohm Theater as well as the Heian Shrine, so it was great for that. There was easy access to the Kyoto subway, a 5-ish minute walk to a bus station, and a short walk to the Keihan Railway that can take you all the way to Osaka, so access around Kyoto and the Kansai region was great. The location was also a just little bit away from any center of touristy things, so it was nice and quiet whenever we went back to the hotel or in the mornings when leaving. One minor weakness for this hotel is that it is not walking distance to a JR station that I know of in Kyoto, so if you have a JR Rail Pass, I wouldn't recommend this necessarily if you want to maximize the value of your pass, but otherwise, if you just use an IC card like we did, the busses and trains are easy to use. The hotel itself was nice. Self Check in and Checkout was easy. We had asked the staff for extra towels during our 6 night stay, and they gave them to us no problem. The suite was roomy, and we had space to organize our souvenirs before we left. They had a washer/dryer combo unit which worked enough for our use case. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a Kyoto stay.

This hotel is self service hotel from the moment you check in with keyless room and rarely anyone will be around to help you. When we check in, no one welcomed you or explained about anything. He just told us to check in from the pad. If you are lucky you will find someone but they speak very minimal English or no English. Also this hotel does not accept luggages transfer since obviously cause no one will be there. If we knew we probably would choose other place instead. The Apt was pretty spacious compare to others, and provided air purifier/ humidifier. Water pressure was excellent. But somehow flooding happened when we showered since something was stuck, since it’s late we could not get help so my husband try to clean it and found poop stuck underneath causing the flooding. We were so upset and went downstairs to complain and call from a tablet and she said she will go to out room. A girl showed up at our door so we told her about the situation. Also we complain about the smoke smell in the room. The girl only told us she would tell the manger about the flooding but unclear and what to do about it. Also for the smoke she said most likely from the lower floor (our room was 3rd floor). After she left, we try to investigate the smoke smell actually coming from outside window, so we closed it and turn on the air purifier, we could not sleep that night since the smoke smell was pretty bad. The next day, we did not see the manager and act like nothing happened.

The check in and check out was extremely simple. Room setup and shower were both great. Having the laundry in the room was very convenient. Good location with highly rated restaurants and shops within walking distance. The negatives: - Being on the first floor and near the street is very loud. Could constantly hear sirens and people talking - There was a sewer smell of the window was open and the bathroom was used - The front desk is typically empty. You can get in touch with staff if you need but it feels less available - If you stay less than 7 days there is no room cleaning and no information for what to do with trash or getting extra towels, soap, etc.

Great location and very clean - we recommend it!

Excellent location, just a few minutes walk from subway, plenty of restaurants, great shopping, shrines and other tourist sights. The check-in process is on-line with a remote video-linked agent available to answer questions and confirm room codes etc. When we needed in-person assistance, somebody came to us very quickly. The property was very clean, and although quite small, was just big enough for our family of 4, for 4 nights. Only negatives were; the washing machine had only Japanese instructions, so we needed to ask for a member of staff to come and explain. Even then, we had questions once we started using it, so it needed more than one training visit! Also the spa facility, while good, is too expensive when you consider most other places don't charge. It would also benefit from more relaxation loungers, there was only one when we used it. We would definitely recommend this place and hope to return one day!

Excellent hotel!!

I took my family of 5 for a family vacation. This was a perfect location because it was close enough to all of the attraction the city has to offer, but it was just far enough where we were able to get a nice rest after a long day of touring the beautiful country. I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel, as it was a mini apartment where anything and everything was within a short walk, including grocery stores, coffee shops, subway station, and much more. It was nice and clean and my entire family truly enjoyed the place. My entire family fit comfortably and having the mini kitchennete was fantastic! We had a wonderful experience.
