    For 2 night stays the rooms don't get cleaned, but honestly this makes sense and good choice for environment

    The rooms are simple but efficient and great, good technology and everything needed. Check in process was smooth, and fantastic onsen/spa

    The pillows were way too hard. They actually gave me a headache and I had to improvise with clothing for a softer pillow. Although it is a non-smoking hotel, it was clear that people were smoking in their rooms, with the doors open for ventilation. Hotel staff didn’t do anything to prevent this.

    Excellent location. Very good breakfast restaurant. Great shower. Decent bed / mattress.

    Very friendly staff, comfortable and clean room, nice hotel overall.

    A solid professional hotel in a super convenient location. Very crowded.

    This place felt like a tourist zoo at times. During check-in time the lobby was insane. Of all the rooms I've stayed in in japan this was the dirtiest. I don't think it was quite unsanitary but all of the corners, edges, etc were very dusty. Clearly the room had not been deep cleaned in a long time.

    Rooms are small but well laid out and full of all the detailed amenities that make Japanese hotels great. The building is new and seems well designed to handle the huge capacity and high rate of turnover of guests. Breakfast is pretty good. Location is extremely convenient for Kyoto station.

    The staff was very friendly, kind, always smiling. However, it would have been helpful if the staff at the front desk was prepared to answer some basic questions. When I asked "Can you please name a good ramen restaurant near by?" they seemed completely flustered. They went back in the office for quite a while (I assume to google "ramen restaurants nearby"? They came out and recommended just one restaurant which we didn't go to because it only had a mediocre score on Tripadvisor. When I asked for help booking a Geisha show they had a deer in the headlights look at seemed completely baffled. Since Geisha's are a key part of Kyoto's identify I was baffled at this. It would be very helpful to us travelers if the front desk could have a prepared list of restaurants, sites etc. along with a highlighted tourist map. In my many travels I've commonly found this at other hotels and really appreciate it. Also, more washing/drying machines would be wonderful. Three machines for a hotel that size was not sufficient. There was waiting every time. The room was very very small (we were two sisters and had two twin beds). We made due but be aware. They step down from the bathroom to the room was quite large and would have been a problem in the night. We McGyvered a step but this could have been an issue.

    BREAKFAST - The breakfast was good and a reasonable price. Many asian dishes such as dumplings, tofu, chicken soup but also great salad, eggs, croissants, granola etc. About $14 US. LOCATION - Fantastic! Very close to Kyoto station which we used as our transpo hub for traveling around Kyoto and side trips to Nara and Hiroshima. Area is very safe with lots of restaurants, shopping, even 7-11 and Seattle's Best across the street CLEANLINESS AND COMFORT - Very clean hotel with most comfortable beds of our 3 week trip around Japan. Nice touches with fluffy comforters, Yukatas and slippers for the spa, toiletries including razors, brushes, toothbrushes etc.

    Elevators are the only mode of going to different levels of the property. During rush hours be prepared to wait for 30 mins just to get inside an elevator
