    “Very good”

    The location is a bit far from Kyoto Station, roughly a 10–15 minute walk, so be prepared for that if you’re carrying luggage. There are bus stops in the area, but the buses tend to get crowded since they’re the main routes heading to popular tourist attractions. If you prefer comfort and less waiting time, walking or using the train might be easier. The room itself is impressive—very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom is large, the TV is big, and the overall layout feels modern and well-maintained. It’s a relaxing space to come back to after a long day of sightseeing. The staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming. You can help yourself to water, soup, and juice in the lobby, which is a nice bonus. There’s a convenience store close by for quick buys, though the immediate area doesn’t have many food options, so meals might require a bit of walking. The nearest train station is about a 10–13 minute walk, making it manageable but not extremely close. Overall, the room quality and service stand out, even if the location requires a bit more walking than expected.

    “Very good”

    The hotel has an air conditioning system, but during our stay in late March, it seemed to be set to heating mode only. We couldn’t switch to cooling mode or make the room cooler, which might be uncomfortable for those who prefer sleeping in a cooler environment — even with the window open. The hotel is located in the Kyoto Station area, but it’s not right next to the station. It takes a moderate walk to get there. Google Maps often suggests getting off at Kujo Station, but in my opinion, getting off at Kyoto Station is a better choice. Although it’s about 300 meters farther, the area around Kyoto Station has a much wider variety of shops and plenty of delicious-looking restaurants to choose from. Plus, there are convenience stores along the way to the hotel, which makes the walk more pleasant. Please note that there’s no complimentary bottled water in the room. You might want to buy some from a convenience store before heading back to the hotel, or use the vending machine on the first floor. The staff were polite, attentive, and offered good service, as expected from hotels in Japan. The room was clean and free from cigarette smell, matching the usual standard of Japanese hotels. Some people from countries where it’s common to sleep in a cool room may find this uncomfortable. It’s a good idea to check with the hotel in advance whether the air conditioning system allows cooler settings during your stay, to ensure a more comfortable night’s rest.

    “Great hotel! ”

    It was a really nice hotel : it was clean and felt very safe. The room was a lot bigger than I expected ! I had a room with a window towards a parking lot so it was really quiet at night. Also, the room had a bathtub which was quite enjoyable after a long day of walking. The AC worked really well. By foot, it was close to a bus stop (2min), a subway station (5-7 min) and Kyoto's train station (10min). Only drawback : if you're sensitive to light in the morning, the curtains don't cover all the windows and you'll be woken up by the sun.
