Lovely staff, clean and comfy rooms
Lovely clean hotel with very helpful staff who were a wonderful support when helping us ship our bags overnight between Kyoto and Tokyo. Hotel also very close to metro for ease of travel elsewhere in the city and beyond.

Friendly, helpful staff
Good location. Friendly, helpful staff. Japanese breakfast. Hundreds if not thousands of comics/manga—mostly Japanese but small English selection. Shopping street/shotengai and two conbini practically next door. No hesitation in staying again.

Mattress in all rooms seem to be very firm. Almost like sleeping on the floor. Staff though were friendly and tried to resolve any issues/questions.

Was a very nice hotel with great staff and amenities. The only downside was it was a bit far from kyotos main attractions and the subway but hotel was amazing.

Spacious, clean and cozy rooms! Hotel also makes you feel safe, close to Nijo-Jo Castle which is a must-to-visit I think. Also there is a bus stop 1 min walk distance from front door. I recommend here. 10-15 mins bus trip to Kyoto Station.

I really appreciate the detailed part of how they manage their rooms. From my personal perspective, I think the hallway carpet might have a bit of an unpleasant smell because it’s probably old or hasn’t been cleaned thoroughly. On the other hand, my room is spotless, especially in terms of cleanliness.

This is a perfect hotel for anyone traveling solo. The staff is kind and courteous and can speak English as well as mandarin/Cantonese. There’s an option to purchase breakfast bento which I highly recommend trying. They were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions as well. Laundry cost roughly 400 yen and no need to buy any detergent. All 3 convenience stores (Lawson, 7/11, and Family Mart) are nearby.

Very friendly staff, walkable to Nijo-jo castle and the imperial Palace. Right next to the city bus stop, and easy to get to from Kyoto station.
We didn't stay long enough to use it, but the lending library of manga seemed a nice option, especially on rainy days.

I booked a non-smoking room, but the room smelled like an ashtray. I don't know if it was due to the AC or the guest before me smoked there. Either way, I felt sick waking up in that room. I won't go there again.

The location was good and convenient, easy access to eateries, convenient stores and bus-stops. Service staff were helpful too. The only thing i was upset about was the dustiness in the room. I have very sensitive nose. Once i entered the room, i started sneezing and having stuffy nose. Kept feeling there were plenty of fibres and dust floating around. Made my face itchy too.

Close to metro, staff were accommodating, I was comfortable and it was everything I needed. Very clean, I enjoyed the Japanese breakfast. The bed mattress is hard but I was still able to sleep. The room is also small.
