For our first stay, on our first trip to Kyoto, we couldnt have asked for more! A lovely quiet setting just tucked away from the main street. This allowed us to have great access to everything we needed but give us a break in the quiet of the neighborhood when needed. Our room was a great size for our 3 day stay. So happy with our stay! Will absolutely be back for our next trip!

They answered questions through message very quickly when we need to confirm a luggage send out to them. Coin Laundry available on site.

Great value and location

Just what we needed: a simple place near what we wanted to do. Tucked in a quiet neighborhood a few minutes’ walk to many shrines and temples as well as Gion, the Nishiki market and other meiten-gai. Laundry facility came in very handy, as well.

It was nestled in the residential area and a bit hard to locate. Being in a residential area, there weren't that many restaurants nearby. The room was clean and decent. No sunlight through the window though.

M’s Hotel Sanjo Wakoku is in an amazing location in Kyoto, not far from the really touristy parts but still in a more residential area. Very close to buses and subway, convenient for getting anywhere. We stayed here for 6 comfortable nights. Very clean, the rooms are small but make great use of the space. A/C works great. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

A very clean and affordable hotel with a ghost staff

A nicely located small hotel 15 mins walk from the Kyoto center. Clean and quiet. No staff, and basically no one to communicate with. Emails sent to the owner were never answered, so, in M's Hotel you are on your own. A no frills place, but decent and good value for one's money.

This hotel is located in a very quiet area in Kyoto but conveniently located rather close to 2 stations and multiple bus stops. The room was bigger than we had expected and met our needs. There isn’t much to do nearby, but because of the stations and bus stops close by, you can get anywhere!! The only weird thing is that the staff is usually not in the front desk of the lobby like in other hotels so when you check-out or check-in you might not have someone there to greet you!!
