    Deluxe Room with Tatami Area
    Stayed 1 night in July 2026

    “It was very comfortable.”

    We stayed in a Deluxe Room with Tatami Area for 5 people. Location: It is very good. It is close to Kyoto City Hall Station, access to the shopping district is easy, and there is a taxi stand very near the hotel, making it very convenient. Room: The living area, bedding, toilet, washbasin, and bathroom were all clean and spacious enough for 5 people. Staff: They kindly took care of our luggage for early check-in and after check-out. It was raining on the day of our stay, but they also lent us an umbrella, which was very helpful. It was a hotel with good cost performance, and I would like to stay here again.

    “2-night review”

    Location The location is very good as major tourist attractions such as nearby shopping malls, Gion Street, and Gamogang are within walking distance. There is a Seven-Eleven right next to the hotel. However, the elevator is somewhat slow, which may make the waiting time feel longer. Cleanliness The bedding did not feel very clean after washing, and the bathroom cleaning was not perfect. There were some stains, and it was disappointing that the bathtub did not drain well. Room Condition The room size is quite small. While it can accommodate two suitcases, moving around is inconvenient. There is only one chair, which may make it somewhat uncomfortable to eat simple meals if two people are using the room. Service The staff were very friendly, and there was a Korean staff member during my visit, making communication easy. All basic amenities were provided. Value for Money / Overall Review The price is very affordable, making it an excellent value for money. The location is particularly a significant advantage of this accommodation.

    Superior Twin Room

    “Exceptional”

    I stayed in a superior twin room. The room and the unit bath were spacious and easy to use. The location was very good, as it was close to the station, convenience store, bus stop, and shopping district. The sound of the air conditioning and the inability to see outside from the window were downsides, though. The front desk staff were very friendly. I can recommend this hotel.

    “Very cost-effective.”

    It's very suitable for a solo backpacker like me. The cleanliness is really well done, the room is very quiet, and the staff are very friendly. The location is excellent too. I happened to visit during the Gion Festival, which is right nearby! The only downside is that the cleanliness of the hotel's washing machine seems lacking, but overall, it offers great value for money.

    “I like the location.”

    When it comes to my home in Kyoto, this is the place I choose first. It is very conveniently located close to both the subway station and bus stop. It is a compact hotel, but I like it because it is easy to move around to go anywhere. Of course, Shijo Kawaramachi and the area around Yasaka Shrine are within walking distance. This time when I entered the room, there was unexpectedly candy? on the floor, so I rated cleanliness minus one. Everything else is fine. Also, perhaps because of its old construction, there was a step to enter the bathroom, and even though there is a kettle in the room, it was disappointing that there were only Japanese tea bags available. (As for the step, there is a small stool available, so it’s not a problem.) I really hope the popsicle service that was available last summer returns!
