The rooms are clean, well-designed and the hotel is quiet. Very nice front desk staff and plenty of sundries and related supplies available to guests. The location is superb - near a main blvd but somewhat removed from the tourist zones in Kyoto. Subway and bus lines nearby.

Comfortable, clean and good location

The hotel is perfectly located on a cute neighborhood street off of a busy main street. There are small boutique shops and a very good cafe downstairs and within 2-3 minute walking distance. There is a local grocery store around the corner, on the Main Street, where we bought groceries for meals. The Niko Castle is about a 4-minute walk away, and Nishiki Market is a 7 minute cab ride away. The staff were friendly and helpful. They had staff who spoke English, but we also used Google Translate when English-speaking staff were not available. There are two washer-dryer sets in their laundry room. They have a wall of all the necessary amenities if you forgot something: toothbrush, toothpaste, hair ties, wash cloths, bath salts, mouthwash, etc. The items were high quality and thoughtfully curated. Our family room was spacious with 2 full sized beds and 2 futons. We had a dining table/bench that could fit 6 people comfortably. The room had a kitchenette with microwave, stovetop, sink and dishes, bowls, cookware. The toilet is in a separate room, and the wet bathroom/shower room is attached, but separated by a door, to the sink room. We enjoyed our stay there and would stay again. The room was clean with plenty of natural lighting and comfortable.

Koko hotel near Nijo Castle is strongly recommended. The room was roomy enough for 4 of us. The staff was friendly. You do need to keep your keycard in the slot near the front door to activate electricity. The property is located on a smaller street (on the same street as the dry cleaner). You may miss it at first. There is a coffee/breakfast spot right next to the hotel. It is quite convenient. We used Uber during our 2 nights stay at Kyoto. They were able to pick us up at the hotel. The train station is nearby as it was 5 min walk away. The main street has plenty of market and food options. Enjoy

Excellent 3.5 star property

Nice hotel, great for families needing a kitchenette. Quiet neighborhood, staff were friendly. My only gripes are that this property was listed as a four star property and we later found out 1) They only clean your room once every three nights. They say this is due to their commitment to the environment, but then all their soaps and moisturizers are in inconvenient single serving plastic packages. So I find this less a commitment to the environment and more just a way to save on their costs. 2) The hotel is actually set up like a motel (with a fancy face lift). The hallways are exposed to open air and the elements. They are covered, but if you are scared of heights do not look down. It was chilly during our visit, so the hotel ceased being cozy when we left our rooms. Overall, I would stay here again but I would rate this property 3.5 stars in terms of comfort.
