I stayed here with my husband and teen daughters in July 2025\. My kids were so excited to try sleeping on futons and tatami mats and this hotel did not disappoint. They were very comfortable. There was a coin wash nearby for laundry and the subway was a short walk away. ##### Donna Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Araceli 27 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The convenience store was right near by. A shopping area was within walking distance as well.

Quite area to stay ##### Yee Ming Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hung 13 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spacious room, bang for the buck property. Very modern, have all the amenities. Suggest they add a microwave though! Check-in process is a bit messy as you already did fill them out during the booking and now you gotta do it again. Paid the fee $10 ish. Beside that no other interaction with hotel. They clean up every other day. ##### Hung Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqui 30 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was excellent clean roomy and well equipped ##### Jacqui Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Begona 18 Apr 2025 Very nice hotel! Convenient and spacious ##### Begona Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Araceli 25 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean hotel, kind staff, and close to convenience stores. A little bit of a walk to trains and food but not too far. Hotel does not have a microwave for guests unfortunately. Besides that small inconvenience, it was very nice and we very much enjoyed our stay. ##### Araceli Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Natalya 4 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a terrible stay. It was not as advertised. The curtain was too small ( I couldn’t shower because the floor was getting wet), there were red stains on the wall and oil stains on the lamp shade, there was no sealant along the bath tub so water just goes straight behind the tub (there will be mold soon). It’s actually a motel not a hotel. Just the worst. It ruined my trip. I hated this stay. ##### Natalya Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Christian 5 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Christian ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike 5 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Mike Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [SOWAKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel-SOWAKA.h27267482.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Twin Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Royal-Twin-Hotel-Kyoto.h41924656.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza Shijo-Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TOKYU-STAY-KYOTO-SHIN-KYOGOKU-DORI.h27557574.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels.d6023342.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [THE GENERAL KYOTO Shijyo Shinmachi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GENERAL-KYOTO-ShijyoShinmachi.h89799984.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo-PREMIER.h101206013.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel ZIZI Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Zizi.h37754813.Hotel-Information) > > [Yuzuya Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Yuzuya-Ryokan.h20931679.Hotel-Information) > > [La'gent Hotel Kyoto Nijo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Lagent-Hotel-Kyoto-Nijo.h88182560.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The M’s Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Ms-Kyoto.h61628354.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near National Exhibition Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Exhibition-Centre-Hotels.0-l6046975-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [KOKO HOTEL Residence Kyoto Nijo Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-KOKO-HOEL-Residence-Kyoto-Nijo-Castle.h109921765.Hotel-Information) > > [THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-HOTEL-HIGASHIYAMA-By-KyotoTokyuHotel.h71549946.Hotel-Information) > > [M’s Hotel Sanjo Omiya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ms-INN-SANJO-OMIYA.h39604744.Hotel-Information) > > [THE MACHIYA Kamiumeya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-MACHIYA-Kamiumeya.h29070851.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hedistar Hotel Kyoto Nijo Comic&Books](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Hedistar-Hotel-Kyoto-Nijo.h24976165.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > > [Hiyori Stay Kyoto Kamogawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Suite-Kyoto-Kamogawa-Shomen.h100205202.Hotel-Information) > > [OMO5 Kyoto Sanjo by Hoshino Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-OMO5-Kyoto-Sanjo-By-Hoshino-Resorts.h77089647.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [TASSEL HOTEL Sanjo Shirakawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TASSEL-HOTEL-SANJYO-SHIRAKAWA.h40139654.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Park-Hotel-Kyoto.h63870432.Hotel-Information) > > [THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GATE-HOTEL-KYOTO-TAKASEGAWA-By-HULIC.h46993133.Hotel-Information) > > [Candeo Hotels Kyoto Karasuma Rokkaku](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Candeo-Hotels-Kyoto-Karasuma-Rokkaku.h64609188.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Traditional Machiya House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Traditional-Machiya-House.h17940263.Hotel-Information) ---
