    “If you're worried about accommodations in Kyoto?”

    This was the most satisfying accommodation during my trip to Japan. It was conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from Karasuma Station and a bus stop, making it easy to access various tourist attractions in Kyoto. The accommodation itself was in a quiet area with little foot traffic. The staff at the counter were extremely kind. I ended up doing an early check-in without prior notice, but they helped me with the check-in process by providing various information, and I even received a message saying my room was ready by 9 AM. The room quality was excellent for the price. The bed and sofa were comfortable, and essentials like shampoo were well-stocked. The interior had a nice blend of modernity and a touch of traditional Japanese style, making the room unique. There was a luggage storage service available, allowing me to drop off my bags before check-in. Additionally, I could store my luggage until the evening after check-out, which was very helpful for my travels. For luggage storage, you just need to inquire at the counter. In summary, this hotel is well-located for travel, has good room quality and facilities, and offers friendly service. Additionally, there is a hot spring about a 20-minute walk away, which I recommend visiting.

    “Spacious and comfortable for travel with three generations.”

    We used this accommodation for a three-generation trip. The kids were thrilled with the bunk beds. The parents were very satisfied with the spaciousness. Although the exterior looks small, the room was quite large! They also lend a rice cooker and toaster for free, so it's a good idea to bring rice! You can buy bread, eggs, and milk at the convenience store. We made breakfast in the kitchen, and everyone made rice balls and miso soup together, saving on breakfast costs! There are also seasonings like salt available! I didn't know how to set up the rice cooker, and when I inquired, they kindly printed out the instructions and brought them to me. They also lent us a foot massager, which helped to relieve our tired feet from sightseeing, making our stay very comfortable! The staff were friendly and attentive, and I thought this hotel would be a place I'd like to stay at again when I visit Kyoto.

    “I love it.”

    This is the first time I've seen such a spacious accommodation in Japan, haha. I slept in a room with four beds, and the table is spacious, so it's great for relaxing every night! (There are also outlets at each seat, which is very important.) The hot water works well, and since it’s an apartment hotel, it's great that simple cooking is possible! I recommend it for trips with family or friends!

    “I had a good rest during the 2 nights and 3 days and I'm leaving now.”

    It is a family-oriented accommodation for more than five people, which is hard to find in Japan, but it was very spacious, comfortable, and clean. Although there are no disposable amenities and personal hygiene products (toothbrushes, toothpaste) need to be brought in advance, there were basic shower supplies and a hairdryer available, along with plenty of towels for the number of guests, which was great. There was almost no noise between rooms, and the bathtub is large and sturdy. I particularly enjoyed the capsule coffee that we had every morning. The staff were very kind and seemed to have no difficulty communicating in foreign languages; they appeared to be fluent in various languages, including Chinese and English, providing excellent service. While it is a bit far from the station, there is a bus stop within a 5-minute walk, and there are 24-hour large convenience stores and grocery shops near the bustling city center, making it convenient to cook with local ingredients if desired.
