Room and bathroom was big enough and comfortable and clean. However, the window opened out to a brick wall. Location was close to Karasuma train station and Hankyu stations and bus was right outside. Everything was walking distance and plenty of 24 hour eating places around

The hotel is in a great location, but there a few things we didn’t like: bathroom shower head was turned on so powerfully that it was impossible to avoid soaking the floor during a shower no matter which direction you turned the head or how tightly you had the curtain closed around you. The sink faucet would not stay on for longer than 3 seconds before it would roll itself to the off position. Both the sink and bathtub were clogged, so would start to fill up within seconds of washing our hands or having a shower. We also found that though there is a smoking room on the first floor with a closing door, the room was across from the elevators and the smell of smoke would travel into the elevator and sometimes permeate to our floor.

The room is tiny and not very comfortable, there is barely place to put a suitcase or open it. It's a pitty that there is no breakfast at the hotel, but on the other hand, there are plenty of cafes with excellent breakfasts right near the hotel. However, the hotel is in a great location, there is everything around - food, shopping, a bus stop and a train station.

Not ideal for business travelers who have to work

The room was okay and clean overall, (the bathroom was very clean) but it was somewhat smelly. Also, the window could not be opened to air out the room. Also, the chair at the desk was incredibly uncomfortable. For a business traveler who has to spend some time working at the desk in the room this was a deal breaker. I would not recommend it for business travelers.
