Staff are amazing, specially Fathi, he way amazing and outstanding customer service.
Location is brilliant .
Room really goood and spacious
Breakfast is horrible and I don’t recommend eating there period…
If it wasn’t for the breakfast and cleaning policies we would have rated this hotel 5/5..
Basic room, but well priced, has everything you need, and great location! Staff were extremely helpful and kind. It was right next to a Round1 arcade, which was very fun at the end of the night!

Friendly and efficient staff. The only complaint is they don't provide amenities like tea, coffee, towels on a routine basis. Guests have to make a request each time.
Good property, breakfast could have been better was very average literally just 1 item. Overall stay was good, rooms a bit small and claustrophobic however guess thats what most hotels here have. Overall pretty good stay and excellent location.
Great location with lots close by and easy access to the metro. very friendly staff, room was clean, functional and comfortable. Would recommend for visiting Kyoto
We had a lovely stay and the hotel is really nice, especially location and connections to all key tourist sights.
The only concern I had were the very small/short pillows which made sleep very uncomfortable.
Do not stay here if you are handicap. I put in my booking that I was traveling with an elderly handicap person and the room is not accessible. There is a high step to get in and out of the bathroom and to get into the tub is also a challenge since it’s so high. Great to take a bath for someone who isn’t handicap but it was a nightmare taking a shower/ getting to the bathroom due to this. Other than that the room was ok, nice bed and in a good area. Probably wouldn’t have had a problem if I didn’t need to worry about being handicap accessible but I would definitely NOT recommend for handicap/ elderly travelers.
Everything is great. The only surprise/downside was having to pay more in extra taxes in Kyoto for the hotel room. This large extra fee (nearly as much as the entire hotel cost) was not mentioned or clearly shared on the Expedia site when booking.
Otherwise, it was a great stay, in a great location near lots of attractions, restaurants, & shopping areas that were within walking distance. Perfect for 1-2 people with minimal/carry-on luggage.
Easy to find and right in the middle of a major shopping area in Sanjo making it easy to get around with multiple transport options available

Disliked: Staff & service
The bed was comfy, room was clean except there was this smell that i couldn't identify coming from the bathroom. Did not like the laundry area. Only 2 washing machines for 10 levels of guests. Every laundry time was like a war zone with everyone competing to use them.
