    Stayed 3 nights in September 2026

    “Convenient location and good service.”

    The station at Karasuma Oike is only a 2-3 minute walk away, and the location was convenient with supermarkets and convenience stores nearby. There was also a shrine behind the property, which was quite nice. The pillow was high, so I used a folded bath towel as a substitute, but I was surprised that the cleaning staff replaced even the pillow towels with new ones, and they folded them the same way. The facility looks a bit old at first glance, but the interior is clean, and the rooms are spacious compared to others in the same price range, with a larger bathtub as well.

    “It had been quite a while since I visited Kyoto.”

    Due to a personal injury incident on the Shinkansen, there were significant delays in our arrival. I sent an email from the Shinkansen to the hotel, and I received a prompt reply, which was reassuring. We were originally scheduled to arrive around 8:00 PM, but we ended up arriving past midnight. The staff was pleasant, and the room was clean and comfortable. With the guidance of a friend living in Kyoto, we enjoyed breakfast at Inoda Main Store and explored the city of Kyoto, making for a wonderful holiday. It was very convenient to be close to Kyoto. Thank you very much for your assistance!✨

    “Exceptional”

    The lobby was bright, and the staff provided thoughtful care. The maps of nearby tourist attractions and the detailed directions for each destination were very considerate, making me wish I could stay longer. The room had large windows with a view of Oike Street, which allowed for a relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely like to use this service again.

    “A comfortable hotel near the station.”

    It is located just a few minutes' walk from Karasuma Oike Station, and the entrance faces Oike Street, making it easy to find. The front desk staff were friendly and their explanations were thorough. The room was a double room, but it felt a bit small and the facilities showed some signs of aging; however, it was very clean and well maintained, and I liked the firmness of the bed. The bathroom was relatively spacious, and the bathtub was quite large, allowing for a relaxing soak. One minor drawback was that the room key was not a card type, so it was a bit inconvenient to have to leave it at the front desk when going out. The breakfast at the Italian restaurant on the first floor was delicious and offered good value for money, so overall, I think it is a good hotel.

    “It was really great!”

    Cost performance, staff response, location, indoor facilities, I really like it and use it often, and it was good this time as well. I used the restroom next to the elevator for the first time, and I understood why it was so impressive. Of course, cleanliness was good, but the texture and color of the tiles used gave a very good sense of style. It matched my preferences perfectly.
