Kyoto stay

A really great stay if you are looking for something central and budget friendly. Easy check in and out process and a big plus with the washing machines. Clean hotel and friendly staff. One downside is that the blinders do not block out all of the lights if your room is facing the street.

This place was great and a 2 minute walk from the train station. Very new and very nicely clean and comfortable. The only negative was the free breakfast which bordered on awful. Inexpensive to boot. Highly recommended!

Best budget hotel! It was so clean, and organized. I saw staff even using a lint roller on the sofa in the lobby, which tells me they pay attention to detail and cleanliness. The rooms were very clean, the cleanest in my stay of 3 different hotels in Japan. I felt very comfortable there. I would 10/10 stay here again. The staff were very nice too. I appreciated all the amenities in the lobby and room. It was such a peaceful stay and I would stay here again

Excellent stay. Spacious enough room, more so than at the APA in Tokyo. Included breakfast is perfect to start the day with a bit of energy. Location is great, a little back from the busier part of Shijo street to the East, but still just around the corner from the Shijo Omiya station if you need transit, and a 30min walk along the very lively Shijo street to get to the Yasaka Shrine to the East of the river. I did everything by foot over the two days I was there, and loved it.

Good service, clean, convenient

Very clean hotel. The check-in machine was not fun, but the staff were super helpful. The room was small, like many less expensive hotel rooms in Japan, but the toilet was separate from the sink and shower. Breakfast restaurant on site gave a small but filling and it's involved in ecological work. Great location near railway and bus stations. There was a window but it was a frosted one, so we had no view.

Great stay and great location!

Great stay and location was awesome. The bus and train to all of the temples was a 2 min walk from the hotel. Everything is new and clean. Self check in and self check out are great, and there’s staff there to help. We had a huge bed which was very comfortable. We only had carryon size luggage so the room was fine for us, but if you have a big luggage, you might find it tight. Room was cleaned everyday which was nice. Only downside is the breakfast which we knew in advance we wouldn’t be eating there. We did try it one morning but it wasn’t for us.

The hotel is clean and tidy and conveniently situated. Unfortunately, its very expensive for what you get. No tea making facilities, iasked for a kettle and a mug but was told no mugs, i had to go and buy one. I asked for bottled water and was told only one bottle a day and only given out after 3pm. The breakfast was one small roll full of lettuce and a small paper cup of coffee, only one cup per person, no fill ups! This hotel is not cheap and there are so many more friendly and for a better price. Look elsewhere.

Hotel was very modern. Good location. Room was decent size according to Japan standard. Breakfast was not good at all. All you get is piece of bread, very small portion scramble eggs and some salad. I was on 8th floor. There from May 8 to May 13 2024. Don’t leave your money or expensive item in room when you not there. I had an Indian older lady that clean my room just about everyday. I thought it was odd that my room was cleaned everyday. After check out and flew to Korea, found out someone at this hotel stole $500 USD cash from my backpack. I was mad, but more so at myself for leaving cash in the room. I would give this place 5 star if breakfast was good and cleaning lady didn’t stole my cash.
