Upon arrival, our hotel room smelled like smoke but we notify the staffs and they changed us right away. Beds are not the most comfortable hence it is a hard spring bed, and I sleep on gel foam mattresses only. The couch bed is very hard even with the cushion that was provided, if you tend to sleep on the ground then it's probably not a problem. The request we made (changing towels, cleaning room/trash bins) were promptly provided, and all we had to do was put the appropiate sign outside the door. Check in/check out process is seamless, unless you need help (someone is always there if you ring the bell). The staffs are attentive when help is needed, and will email back regarding anything that may potentially be left behind after checking out. Lots of eating places nearby and 1 block away from the shopping district. Behind us is the pontocho alley with lots of places to dine in. Lots of bars and clubs on our hotel road if that's your vibe. The gion corner and yasaka shrine are all within walking distance for an able body. We appreciate having a laundry machine available, and washed our clothes once during our 6 night stay. The washing machine takes 400 yen, and dryer takes 400 yen for 1hr. This is a moderately cheap and great place to stay in kyoto if you plan to do lots of shopping, dining out, visiting shrines, or going to clubs. Everything was in walking distance! You can deliver your luggage using "Airporter" to your next hotel.
