Everything was clean and comfortable for such a low price. The room was small, but what can one expect in Japan. The staff made extra effort to get a taxi for us after we checked out.

Pleasant Stay despite Hiccups

This is a brand new hotel, location not easy to find(in a small lane), advise guests to ask staff at subway station for direction to get there. There was some hiccups upon chk-in due to high occupancy n that resulted in us not receiving the code via our email. However, there are staff there till 9pm to assist you through the chk-in. The reason we choose this Japaning hotel is becuz on its official site, it said tt it provides a Handy smartphone for guest to bring it out with you. This will ease language barrier for us to find our way using this Handy. However, to our disappointment, it wasn’t provided at all aft speaking long to someone on the phone even with our request to “borrow” one fm other Japaning hotels chain as we ve excluded data router for our trip becuz of supposed “Handy”. We didn’t find the staff helpful as there are plentiful of Japaning Hotels throughout Kyoto and for the rest of days in Kyoto, we tried hard to find our way around! Nevertheless, we must say tt the staff at the counter are genuinely helpful, trying to guide us the way to our sightseeing spots. We like their sincerity and this makes our trip pleasant. Laundry is free n this is a great plus point for travelers. I would recommend this hotel.

Buen hotel aunque con puntos a mejorar

Hotel moderno y acogedor ubicado en una zona muy tranquila y bien conectada con transporte público. La zona dispone de supermercados cercanos al hotel que agradecimos mucho tener a mano. El personal agradable. Las instalaciones por lo general correctas, las habitaciones son limpias y acogedoras pero no estuvimos todo lo cómodos que en un principio esperamos ya que los colchones eran muy duros e incómodos, además en las ventanas no había una cortina que impida que entre la luz y nos despertaba al amanecer, lo cual interrumpía el descanso, pero por lo demás es correcto.

Location great but should provide more detailed directions to hotel from train station, because even google map was confused about left or right, through all the laneways! Very good service and provision of clean towels etc, but room a bit small. Would be good if an iron was available.

D une proprete irreprochable, situé idéalement en centre ville, facile d acces depuis kyoto station en bus. A deux pas du palais Manque un peu de chaleur, personne à l accueil sauf en cass de souci Prevoir des taxes supplementaires à l arrivée, environ 2 euros par jour et par personne... la seule mauvaise surprise... Atte.tion nous sommes au Japon, les chambres sont petites la salle de bain aussi Machine a laver et séche linge gratuits,

No-staff model not easy to work through and NOT mentioned on the booking site or in confirmation docs. I never received the email with check-in information, a problem I’ve read in other reviews also. It was also necessary to contact (via the “help” phone outside the front entrance - which only connected to someone at a remote location) to get housekeeping performed. It turns our housekeeping is only done every 3rd day, which is acceptable if you are expecting it - but they don’t say which day it will be. In my case, housekeeping was only done twice in 9 days and included getting fresh towels. Not good. The place was good but the advance and ongoing communications were really inadequate.
