It was a nice little Place for what I needed. I spent most of the time traveling around but it was good for a place to sleep and shower. The breakfast was good early in the morning and they do offer Dinner too but I did not take advantage because of the good food in Japan.

Pros: Rooms were clean, daily breakfast and dinner is good, lawson’s is right beside the hotel, many restaurants nearby, staff were very sweet and helpful, Kyoto Station isn’t too far, public bath, and it’s a quieter neighborhood. Cons: Check out is 10am but Check in is at 4pm, hotel is older with many rooms but the map isn’t clean so it’s hard finding your room at first, coin laundry machines but they were pretty dirty with dirt stuck on the sides like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while, the dryer didn’t even dry my clothes(2 pants) so it felt like a waste of money, not many amenities. Some things to keep in mind: In case you want to do early check in, they charge more before 1pm and after 1pm they charge 30% of current room prices, same with late check out. You have to book dinner beforehand.

Just a heads up about the parking: It’s 1,980 yen from 4 PM to 10 AM with the hotel discount. Be careful, because if you park before 4 PM, you'll be charged an extra fee!

The biggest inconvenience is that most of the hotels and places in Japan don’t have people that speak English fluently so communicating with them is very difficult.

10月２８日と２９日にお世話になりました。客室が狭いのにはびっくりしましたが、朝夕食付きで格安でしたので満足でした。 ２９日は喫煙部屋との事でしたので、禁煙室に替えてもらったのですが、バスは汚れ気味でバスタオル等が湿っていました。電話して交換させてもらいました。又、ティッシュペーパーも空箱でした。 急遽 禁煙部屋に交換してもらったのが原因かと思いますが、常に清潔保持にしておくべきかと思います。 又、フロント担当は２日とも青山女史でした。ちょっとオッチョコトイなところがありましたが、かえって人柄の良さに好感を持ちました。 経験を積めば、素晴らしいフロントマンになると思いますので、大事に育て上げて下さい。
