The room itself was amazing and the bathroom was gorgeous. Would highly recommend this place and would stay again if I come back to Kyoto. ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma 27 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Loved the spaciousness and convenience to subway and imperial palace gardens. ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca 17 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The area was very quiet which was nice but did mean it was a bit of a walk to the nearest shop. The check-in process was all automated and quite straightforward but be aware that the emails are sent in Japanese and I had to pop these in a translation app. The building is small but the room was a generous size. The place is slightly dated but very clean. ##### Rebecca Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda 10 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved that the room was extremely spacious and clean and that the beds were very comfortable. However it was very cold in the room with not much insulation so we definitely had to layer up to stay warm even with the heater on. ##### Amanda Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gerry 21 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Clean and well looked after. Beds were a bit hard to sleep on and confusing instructions regarding disposal of garbage. Shower/bathing area excellent. ##### Gerry Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana 8 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities This is a self check in/check out so there is no staff or room service. The room itself is amazing and spacious. The bathroom is just as great! The beds were super comfortable! One of my favorite hotels! I will definitely be back. But keep in mind there is no elevator so I got lucky being on the second floor but if you have the third then you have to carry your luggage all the way up there. ##### Diana Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kurt 5 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service If you are Japanese this is a very nice hotel with a hassle free self checkin. Avoid room 101 because you will be awaken whenever a guest on the upper floors drains their tub. If you hold a foreign passport look for another hotel. I will spare you the problems I had getting mine to them. Just look for a hotel with a human at the front desk. Good advice throughout Japan. ##### Kurt Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Huaxi 13 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Buena decoración y comodidad. La habitación muy amplia y limpia, camas cómodas y baño grande. La chica con la que nos encontramos en recepción el primer día muy maja nos explicó cómo entrar en la habitación, le quito una estrella por la localización no muy céntrica del hotel y la ausencia de personal y limpieza de habitación. Aún así es recomendable ##### Huaxi Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 9 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service キーボックスが屋外で暗く、番号合わせに苦労しました。 その他は快適でした。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### くるみ 25 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities 内装はとても良く、満足でしたが、清掃に入っていただけませんでした。また、レンジがなかったです。清掃の札を下げておいたのに、何故清掃に入っていただけなかったのか不思議です。ただ、内装が可愛く、清潔感もあったので全体的には良いです。周りも不便という程ではなかったです。 ##### くるみ Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicholus 28 Apr 2025 ##### Nicholus Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 13 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily 25 Feb 2025 ##### Emily Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 8 Dec 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jeyad 19 Nov 2024 ##### Jeyad Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Heidi Beate 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Heidi Beate Stayed 10 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chisato 26 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service ##### Chisato Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ??? 25 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### ???
