    The smoking cabin at ground floor makes all the rooms at ground floor smell to smoke.

    I liked the cleanliness, location, the room facilities, everything was great. Even the staff let us check in early, at 12 o’clock. Just one thing what the staff be aware, when the guests are waiting in the lobby before check in, the reception administrator shouldn’t say the words- ” I will ask if you can wait in the lobby before check in” , may be this receptionist was the new and he should ask to somebody, but even the matter about guest staying in the lobby before or after check in shouldn’t be questioned. Guest is guest even before or after check in. The is just little tip from me just to make better

    Check-in process bit disorganised. We checked in in the morning but had to check back in again when we returned later in day to collect key to room

    Boutique hotel, quiet, easy walk to station and lots of restaurants very close by. Comfortable bed!

    Great hotel. Rooms were adequate for what we needed during our stay. The bed was huge. The bathroom was small but entirely adequate. Within walking distance of the main area but down a side street so nice and quiet.

    There was sewage smell in the bathroom, but we didn’t complain or ask to change room since it was manageable when switching on the fan

    Great location in Kyoto. Walking distance from city centre. Gion is at 20 minutes walk. 5 minutes walk to metro station and 2 minutes walk to bus stop. There’s plenty of good restaurants around the area. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was ok. Fresh onigiri with a big variety of fillings. Staff was very kind and helpful.

    Close to everything in Kyoto. Either in a walking distance or connected by trained and subway. The room was smal, but comfortable enough to accommodate two backpackers. Helpful and friendly staff. In summary: - close to tube/trains, - friendly staff, - free coffee, - optional breakfast for 2k, - many attractions around.

    The bed is almost too big, the room could have used some extra piece of furniture or additional space in the bathroom which is quite small. Also, on the ground floor next to the lifts there was quite a smell (smoking area outside the door perhaps).

    Location close to everything you needed, including shopping area, restaurants and metro. Polite and helpful staff. Luggage storage at check-in and check-out (free). Clean big room with a large bed. Also, washing machines available form 400/500JPY.

    The place was small like most places in Japan. Very difficult to handle larger suitcases. Maybe a bit overpriced .

    The location is very close to the train station. Also very close to most of the main attractions in Kyoto. Free coffee 24/7. The staff were nice and helpful. Could store luggage before check in and after check out. It was clean.

    More choices at breakfast, potentially fresh fruits and more selections of bread.

    Loved the location of the hotel, breakfast was great and had everything, both local food and well as western cuisine. Rooms are spacy for japanese standards and clean + cozy. Perfect for 2/3 night stay in Kyoto. Location also super to walk and explore the city.

    The room we stayed in was very spacious. It had a small couch that could fit 2 people and a small table to eat on. The room was very clean and the bed was cozy and comfortable to me and my wife's liking. The hotel staffs accomodated to our needs and they were all polite and friendly. The hotel was just a few minutes walk to the subway line and bus stops. There are good small restaurants, convenient stores, and an amazing supermarket near the hotel. Its a wonderful place to stay in if ever your visiting in Kyoto.
