Best surprise of the trip so far
The best surprise upon leaving the tiny hotel rooms in Tokyo! The room was spacious! Bathroom portion itself was the size of the hotel room in Tokyo. The staff super friendly, best hotel so far in our trip and I even tried to rebook it again for our return to Kyoto in 3 days but no vacancy.

The room was beautiful and well maintained. It was very modern and had great facilities. The washing machine and dryer were free to use. It was located in a small room with a vending machine but worked well. They had a coffee machine, microwaves and amenities in the lobby. It was a great place to stay. It was very quiet. It is surrounded by apartments so we did have to walk a bit far to get to some of the areas we wanted to get to. Overall, it's a beautiful place to stay.

Very nice hotel, was amazed with the size of the room and amenities provided for the cost. It’s a little distance from the train station but allows to get lost in the local culture/experience. Loved the easy check-in process! Would definitely stay at again!

First time we have used a self check-in hotel, process was seamless and easy, very tidy modern building in a slightly suburban neighbourhood in Higashiyama convenient to the temple district and short walk to the Kawagawa to catch trains into downtown Kyoto . Bonus is close proximity (across the street) to the amazing Sanjusangendo temple with it 1001 Buddhas

Truly a great experience with this hotel. The entire process is automated and no interaction with any staff, didn’t see one person there.
We checked in using the tablet in the lobby, simple process, got our room number and other information and walked in to the room. Very cool.
Hotel is ina quiet neighborhood, nothing convenient close by. There is no breakfast offered, so you have to plan it.
The room are immaculately clean, and so are the bathrooms. All amenities are included and there is a coffee machine in the lobby. There is also a self service, lockable baggage storage in the lobby.
Beautiful, a place I would highly recommend

The property was comfortable but the level of daily cleaning needs improvement. We were disappointed that the used cups were not replaced and the bed made until we contacted the front desk (bed only).
