    Great sized room and had a paid carpark we could come and go from easily. Fresh towels daily and rubbish removal. Awesome ramen restaurant straight across the road. Was a little bit of a walk to Kyoto station and short drive to Fushimi Inari. Coin laundry was handy.

    Wish there could be a restaurant on site for evening meals.

    The breakfast was ok. Having vouchers and paying tax on an additional machine was odd and lacked a sense of full service. I am not sure if we misplaced or weee short vouchers for our final day. It is unfortunate there was no other way to note our breakfast was included.

    Despite having a station and convenience stores close to the hotel, I really missed a supermarket near there. There are also some restaurants 10-20 min walking away from the hotel, which was not convenient for a family traveling with a 7-year-old boy. One comment, not necessarily a bad thing, was the coffee provided at the lobby. They made sets with sugar and cream sticks, but I needed more sugar sticks than cream; I had to take extra cream sticks because of that (I'll use it at home, but it's still a waste. It would be simpler to just leave the sticks apart).

    There's an onsen downstairs. It's a simple one, but very helpful after a day walking through the city. Also, they have a bus going to/from Kyoto Station, and we took it a couple of times during our stay. They also offer free coffee and sugar sticks at the lobby.

    Nothing to say.

    Location was great. Far enough away from the city centre that you're away from the noise and can rest peacefully at night. But, the front door to the hotel is 30 seconds away from the train station, so travelling around the city is super easy. You can get to Karasuma station in under 15 minutes. You're also on the right line to get to Nara without having to go into central Kyoto. Rooms were very big by Japan standards. Everything was clean and in good order. Staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend.

    One usb on side of bed didn’t work but that didn’t matter as there were plenty of sockets and one on other side

    Room was huge compared to other Japanese hotels with a big long desk and huge window (my view was of Kyoto Tower which was fabulous at night) Bed and pillows so comfortable Completely sound proof room and black out curtains worked a treat. Fabulous local in between Kyoto Tower and Fushimi Inari (east 20 min flat walk) plus metro literally across the road and bus stops minutes away. Very walkable! BREAKFAST!!!! was beyond amazing - the Japanese stables each day plus little varieties and since I was staying a week I really enjoyed this. Corn soup!!! Udon noodles!!! Mini coffee jelly and crème caramels OMG … perfect way to start the day. Also has an onsen free to use for guest which I would’ve loved but can’t use as I gave tattoos but bath tub in room was very relaxing and had a bubble bath everyday after exploring this amazing city! Vending machines (with alcoholic options and ice dispenser were super handy for enjoying evening drink is said bath. Laundry (coin operated) was also great - and dryers were free. Only having to gave room cleaned every 4 days (with fresh towels delivered every day) was perfect to give you privacy and flexibility to sleep in if you wanted. Free umbrellas were also available. Was also able to have a late check out which was only 1100 yen which was fabulous. Hotel was beyond expectations HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Parking was an additional 800 yen. Located on a busy road. Not within close proximity to any major attractions.

    Modern fitout, comfortable rooms, onsite parking. Next to a convenience store and domino’s pizza.

    close to train station, just couple of minutes of walking distance. Very convenient and overall a great place to stay if you're visiting Kyoto. If you don't mind, you can walk to Kyoto Station straight away from the hotel (probably in 15-20minutes)
