    “Best cost performance”

    The accommodation was clean and the staff were friendly. There was a staff member who spoke Korean well, so checking in and out was smooth. The room was relatively spacious for a place in Japan and very tidy. The free sake service provided one glass per person was great. I was worried because there were reviews about noise, but it was not noisy at all. The location was right in the center, so there were plenty of things to explore, and having a convenience store, a drugstore, and Don Quijote right in front was fantastic. There was also a bus stop about a 5-minute walk away that went to most tourist attractions, which was great. The value for money was exceptional for this price! If I come to Kyoto again, I definitely want to stay here! Highly recommended!!!!

    저희 숙소를 이용해주시고 소중한 후기까지 남겨주셔서 진심으로 감사합니다. 청결함과 직원들의 응대(한국어 안내 포함) 덕분에 체크인과 체크아웃을 원활하게 마치셨다는 말씀에 정말 기뻤습니다. 객실의 넓이, 무료 사케 서비스, 그리고 조용히 휴식을 취하셨다는 점까지 모두 만족해주셔서 무엇보다 다행입니다. 또한, 시내 중심이라는 입지와 주변의 편의점, 드럭스토어, 돈키호테, 도보 거리의 버스 정류장 등 편리함과 가성비까지 높게 평가해주셔서 영광입니다. '교토에 다시 오면 꼭 다시 머물고 싶다', '강력 추천한다'는 격려의 말씀을 원동력 삼아 앞으로도 더 나은 숙박 경험을 제공할 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠습니다. 다음에 다시 뵙기를 진심으로 기다리고 있겠습니다.

    “Exceptional”

    It was a 2-night, 3-day trip to Kyoto with friends, and it's right in the middle between Hankyu Kawaramachi Station and Karasuma Station. Both stations are about a 7-minute walk away, so it's fine to get off at either station. You can easily walk to Nishiki Market, Takashimaya Department Store, and Gion Shijo Station. All the staff were very friendly, and the breakfast buffet was neat. I expected rooms in Japanese hotels to be very small, so I didn't feel that the room was too cramped; the water pressure was strong and the hot water came out well, which was nice. I was worried about noise from the main road, but I don't know which direction our room was facing, but we didn't hear any traffic noise and it was quiet. (Even though there were neighboring rooms, I didn't hear any noise at all.) Both the location and cleanliness score a perfect 10 out of 10!^^

    “Exceptional”

    The location is really the best~ The hotel is right in the center, making it easy to drop off your shopping at the accommodation, rest a bit, and then head back out if you feel tired~ The Lush store is conveniently located right across the street, and there are also great restaurants nearby~ The staff were very friendly, and the restrooms and everything were clean and nice, but I got a corner room, which was smaller than I expected~ Other reviews mentioned that the lighting is dim, and it’s true that there wasn’t bright lighting, making it difficult to see while putting on makeup~ The bathtub, sink, and toilet are all separate, but only the area with the bathtub has bright lighting, and there’s no mirror there.. that was one downside~ In the end, I booked at a discounted price, so it was a good value for money, and I would want to stay here again next time~

    “Best position.”

    First of all, the location is great as it's in the center of Kyoto, which has a lot of walking tours! I stayed in a double room, and the bed size was reasonably good, so we slept well as a pair. The water pressure was strong, and the soundproofing was somewhat weak (it gets noisy at night since it's in the city), but we were so tired that we didn't notice and slept well anyway. I really appreciate the young and very kind staff member who is fluent in Korean^^ (it said trainee).

    “Location bully”

    Wherever you go in Kyoto, it's all nearby, and it was really convenient because it was close to a department store and the lively area. The hotel was clean and the lobby was nice! I stayed in a twin room, which was relatively spacious compared to other hotels in Japan, and I appreciated that the toilet and bathroom were separate. If I go to Kyoto again, I would like to revisit.
