Rooms are very small but the facilities makeup for that. You get breakfast included in the price which is a very good deal for the price. There is a Lawson right near the entrance for quick shopping. Kyoto station is a good 20 minutes walk.

Great value. Cold rooms because the heater turns off when you leave. Breakfast ends a little early for my liking. Good service except we had three people in our room and two pillows and when i asked for another pillow they said, "no".

5 or so min walk to Kujo metro station. Lawson store right next to hotel. Breakfast and dinner included in stay, which we weren’t aware of. Check in was slow and English was limited. Breakfast was ok for the convenience, dinner we only had once during our stay as obviously much better food in Kyoto! Room and bathroom very small and dated decor. No wardrobe or space to put your luggage so was difficult with our 5 night stay. Plenty of washing machines and tumble dryers. Would recommend only for a 1/2 night stay and you are price sensitive.

朝食、夕食、サウナ付きの浴場ありで、格安だと思いました。駐車場代として1980円と宿泊税が一人につき200円かかります。ただ１人分のベットがベンチベットのため、真ん中にくぼみができ、寝にくい様子でした。地下駐車場はバイクは駐車できないとのことでしたが、２台でも１台分のスペースに停めるのであればOKにしてほしいと思います。バイクが駐輪できないことにより、車に変更せざるを得ませんでした。ご一考ください。

チェックインにかなりの人が毎日並んでいた。 朝食夕食も無料なのはかなりありがたかった。 九条駅からも近く、京都駅からも徒歩圏内。 バスで色んなところに観光に行くのも便利。大浴場も付いていてとても良いホテルですが、チェックインの長蛇の列、チェックアウト後に荷物預かりがないのが難点【勝手にロビーに置いておくだけならOKですが、盗難の可能性がある】部屋も広くて良いです。 時間の説明はありますが朝食は8時30にはもう食べれなくなります。 総体的にまた費用対効果は良いからまた泊まることもあると思います。
