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.
