Traveling with our two teens, we opted for the big room, two bunks, a nice open room with a big couch and table and a master room. Rooms had dividers, which was awesome. Beds comfortable, quiet, really cool coffee shop right next door. Would stay here again, I know kids liked it too.

Definitely a budget hotel

Family of 4. The room is a great size for Japan Fridge stove and all utensils you need to make your own breakfast. The front desk personnel are very polite and helpful and greet you everytime you come in. Great location close to supermarket and transit system. The negatives they preset and lock their ac units at 25 which is far too hot and very uncomfortable when sleeping. We asked for help twice and they could not fix it. I ended up having to mess with it and you have to change it in the settings that they disabled. Otherwise we would have been miserable the entire stay. A 5 night stay they only clean room once. You can get clean towels everyday but you have to put them outside of hotel room door. They have a (3) washer dryer machine, and they get quite busy.

The hotel is clean, spacious, has lots of amenities and the staff is very friendly. There is a laundry room available downstairs and it's in a quiet neighborhood. There are buses and the train station is about a 7-8 minute walk. Overall I enjoy staying at the Koko chain when visiting Japan.

The room was so cute and the staff was very friendly. We loved the seperate beds and the kids loved the bunk beds. The location was great too! If we had to comment negatively on something, it was the comfort of the mattress as it was much more firmer than other hotels we have stayed at.

Really great hotel. A somewhat residential neighborhood but close to the castle, lots of coffee shops, bakeries, and good restaurants. Was nice to be away from the crazy touristy areas. Our room was enormous with a kitchen and dining area. Plenty of space for 4. No breakfast, but we didn't mind with all the places nearby.

Pleasantly surprised by this hotel! Staff are exceedingly helpful and respectful. The room, a family apartment, was beautiful and situated in a gorgeous, quiet part of Kyoto. There are several amazing coffee shops and restaurants nearby including French, an Italian coffee shop, a gyoza cooking experience (highly recommended!!), and the best teppenyaki spot. It was always very easy to get a taxi or hop on a bike or go for a walk. It’s located so close to Nijo Castle. Fantastic location, upscale neighborhood. Would absolutely stay here again.
