    Comfort Triple
    Stayed 3 nights in October 2026

    “The staff's response was wonderful.”

    My elderly mother, who loves Kyoto, traveled with me and my sister, and we stayed three nights in a Comfort Triple. Because we were traveling with an older parent, we wanted a place where we could both enjoy sightseeing and relax comfortably at the hotel, so we chose this one. When booking I asked, with no expectations, if it would be possible to have a room whose window didn’t face the exterior wall of the neighboring building, and they gave us a room that met our request. My mother enjoyed the view of the little street visible from the window, and we’re truly grateful for the staff’s thoughtfulness. After returning from sightseeing we relaxed while enjoying the selection of drinks, and we fully enjoyed Kyoto at breakfast as well. It was also very convenient to be able to check the availability of the coin laundry from our room. I’m really glad we chose this hotel for our special trip with my mother. Thanks to them, we had three memorable nights. If we have the chance to visit Kyoto again, we would definitely stay here. Thank you very much.

    Comfort Triple
    Stayed 2 nights in September 2026

    “The facilities are clean and the breakfast is very satisfying.”

    We stayed here for three days and two nights as a family of three. We had a Comfort Triple; the room was clean, and the toilet and bath were spotless and felt hygienic. There were three semi-double beds, so we were able to rest comfortably. There's a water dispenser in front of the elevators. We used the lounge in the evening — it’s limited to 60 minutes, but with unlimited alcoholic drinks and small appetizers provided, we were very satisfied. Breakfast was a buffet with many options, including bread from Shijindo, and everything was delicious. We’d definitely stay here again when we return to Kyoto.

    Moderate Twin Room - Non-Smoking
    Stayed 1 night in December 2025

    “This is a highly recommended hotel with the best cost-performance ratio.”

    This was my second stay. At check-in you’re offered a welcome drink (a premium Japanese tea or a premium sake). Like last time, I booked a Moderate Twin Room through Agoda, but at check-in they upgraded me to a Premier Twin Room free of charge. The Moderate Twin I stayed in before was already very spacious and nice, but this Premier room was about twice as big. I’m really grateful. The toilet and the bath are separate. The bathtub is very large. The provided shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are high-end IUGEN products. After the bath there were even luxury Lululun face masks. Other amenities are self-service from the lobby, and there you’ll find high-end Sekkisei facial cleanser and drip-style premium coffee. The hair iron my wife borrowed was a RIFA, and the in-room hairdryer was a DAiSON. From 6 PM the lounge offers free alcohol and snacks. Beer, wine, sake, a three-item snack plate, pickles, crackers and cheese, dried banana, chocolate — everything was delicious. We enjoyed ourselves so much there that for dinner we only had a final ramen at a nearby shop. It was a perfect, pleasantly tipsy ending. By the way, there’s a Life supermarket right next to the hotel, so you can buy a good bento and eat it in your room. The rooms have a large table and sofa, so you can dine comfortably. Breakfast was wonderful too. There was plenty of Japanese and Western options. The fruit was very fresh. I especially loved the scallop rice porridge — it had a gentle, addictive flavor. Lastly, all the staff were friendly and very pleasant, so like my previous stay this one was excellent. One thing I noticed was how few Japanese guests there were — over 95% of the guests seemed to be foreigners. I wondered whether Japanese people just don’t yet know how great this hotel is. To my fellow Japanese travelers: please try staying here. It really is wonderful. Now that I’ve found this place, I’ve stopped searching for hotels in Kyoto.

    JIYOON from South Korea

    Moderate Twin Room with Sofa Bed for 3 People - Non-Smoking
    Stayed 1 night in January 2026

    “Highly recommended for those going with their mom.”

    The room was clean and the bedding was fresh, which I liked. There’s nothing to worry about regarding the room condition. The hotel is quiet so I never had any trouble with noise, and the soundproofing is good. The TV connected well to YouTube and Netflix, and the amenities smelled nice. I usually bring my own hair products when I travel, but on this trip I used the hotel’s shampoo and conditioner. The scent was really pleasant. There’s no separate concierge, but because I visited during a quiet period the staff all helped out. If you weren’t able to make reservations before your trip or have trouble because of Japanese-only service, you can ask the staff to help (within reasonable requests, of course). Breakfast isn’t extravagant or huge in variety, but it’s neat and very tasty. If you want to try the local specialty obanzai but are worried you might not like it or don’t want to go to a restaurant early in the morning, the hotel breakfast is good enough to satisfy you. Accessibility is also good: many buses stop right near the hotel, so it’s easy to get to major sights. Just be mindful of Kyoto’s morning commute times and you’ll be fine. There’s a shop across from the hotel that sells traditional Japanese sweets—night-themed desserts and bread with sweet red bean filling. Highly recommend visiting it. As for drawbacks, if I had to find one: the hotel isn’t in a busy downtown area, so aside from a convenience store there aren’t many places open late at night. I’d strongly recommend this hotel for people who want to relax quietly after sightseeing, but it may be a bit disappointing for those looking for izakayas or late-night dining.
