The place was superb!
The room was a little towards the colder side though
But you get air conditioning to regulate that

This is my second time at this hotel, and all I can say is how wonderful it is! Very convenient and affordable. I don’t like the small rooms, but that’s what a hostel hotel it’s all about. I recommend a lot if your just saying for a few days and don’t have many bags. Maybe as a start up hotel!

It would be great if lotion could be provided too. The bed sheet is not as clean as expected, and minor stains are found.

Nice rooms, and shared bathroom/shower facilities were clean and always available. Rooms were tight for 3 people but worth the price, location is a bit inconvenient for what we were doing.

An excellent and convenient place to stay, close to everything we wanted to do. Only 15 minute walk to the Nishiki market, right next to subway entrance and 1 stop from Kyoto station. We enjoyed our stay, would definitely stay there again.
