The location is fantastic! Only 5-10 minutes away from Kyoto station and walking distance to most shopping centres and food courts. Good breakfast and Japanese bath is a bonus. The standard room size is very small, so make sure you book a larger room if space is an issue for you.

Getting a receipt showing the breakdown of each night stay seemed very difficult for the hotel to provide. I needed it for my work but they could only provide it after I’d checked out. As I was staying 8 nights my work required all receipts within 3 days which caused me some difficulty. I wouldn’t stay here again for a few reasons including the receipt issue, centrally controlled heating and noisey street traffic from my open window during the night.

I’ve stayed at this property many times. I love the rooftop outdoor onsen however due to the central heating being centrally controlled the room is too hot so I had to sleep with the window open. I couldn’t sleep at all due to traffic going past on a busy road. This aside my biggest disappointment is the lack of assistance with my baggage for the airport. The previous time I stayed the staff very reluctantly assisted and I vowed never to stay there again because of their attitude but over time my memory faded and I stated there again. This time when I checked in I noticed a Sagawa desk by the reception which was open 7-12 each day so I assumed due to the over tourism in Kyoto the hotel had introduced this service to remove the luggage burden from them, however when I went to use it I was told they don’t handle luggage for the airport and to see the reception. The reception said they don’t handle it and told me to go to the 7/11, the 7/11 told me to go to Lawson, Lawson told me to go to the Yamato office. Once I found the Yamato office there was a 45 minute line up of tourists all trying to send their bags to the airport. This all took about an hour to sort out while dragging two bags around. I won’t stay at this property again as other hotels still assist with luggage and I find this service very useful and have come to rely on it .

I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel after reading some of the reviews. The rooms are small but it was like a cabin on a cruise ship - tight and efficient. Plenty of room for one person. The Onsen was amazing and a great breakfast.

The room was not clean completely. There was a candy wrapper that was missed by the staff. Air quality was not great due to lack of ventilation. With the hot and higher humidity beginning of NOV was recommend to open window to cool down room. Room is small for two travelers with 4 suitcases. A bit of maneuvering to access suitcases. Comfortable enough of a stay. Safe and close to Kyoto station for quick travel. Front desk customer service is 5/5 very helpful and polite when addressing questions and concerns. Would recommend.
