  1. 8.4Excellent

    “Great cost performance and excellent location.”

    It was easily accessible from Gion-Shijo Station, and there were many restaurants and attractions nearby, with the bustling nightlife right in front. The room was simple but spacious and practical, and I was very satisfied with the bed size at this price. The room opens and closes with a card key, and the lobby at midnight also uses a card key, so I felt secure. There seems to be a solid baggage storage service before and after the stay, which is convenient for sightseeing. I was very satisfied.

    “Exceptional”

    I have been to Kyoto twice and stayed here both times. I was impressed by everything. The hotel is in a very good location, close to the river. In the morning before going out to explore and in the evening after returning, I would sit and enjoy the view by the river. It's convenient for finding food and also near shopping areas. It's very close to many subway stations, making travel easy.

    “I really like it, 10/10.”

    The room is very clean and spacious at a normal level. I like the bathroom very much; it looks new and very clean. The staff also explained things in English very well. I can leave my bags there too. So next year, if I go again, I will definitely stay there again.

    “The accommodation is located in a good area, with convenient transportation and restaurants and convenience stores nearby.”

    The accommodation is very comfortable. The bed is soft and the room is not cramped at all. It is located in the Gion area, with plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. It is close to the train station and bus stops as well. Highly recommend it! If I come back to Kyoto, I will stay here again! 💓💓

    “This is my second use.”

    I use it when I go to the theater at Nanza. The room is compact, but it has a small table and chairs, making it comfortable and clean. There are also a hairdryer and pajamas available. The vending machine and microwave on the first floor are convenient as well. I would like to use it again.
