Pleasant surprise

Well located near the Kyoto station. Surrounding is quiet and easy to move around. Experienced front desk service team. Shout out to Mr Konda and Ms Zeng Ping that made a very positive impression to my partner, patiently explaining and sharing detailed information of the restaurant selection, direction guidance, places of interest etc. Their level of English proficiency is above average which is a big comfort to English speaker. Room aspect, open wardrobe is small ( can’t hang too many clothes) limited space in the room. Toilet and shower is of good size. Replenished water daily which is very much appreciated. Safe box, fridge and kettle available. Room slippers provided. Comfortable bed and pillows. Nice and cozy with excellent service from the hotel team.

Enjoyable stay

The room is small. No bedside table. Open wardrobe is small so not much space to hang more clothes. The location is very good as it is 7-8 mins walk from Kyoto station. The star of this hotel is the front desk team. Mr Keiichiro Konda and Ms Zeng Ping that we personally encountered was a gem. They were patient with our needs and provided the right information and guidance to places of interest and restaurants suggestions. Far exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the team and taking care of us during our stay. Hope to return in the near future.

The location is very close to the Kyoto station so it makes it easy to travel. The room size was quite small but they did give me free breakfast upgrade as part of Expedia VIP membership so it was nice. Of note, instead of ordering massage service from the hotel, it’s probably more worth it to go to an actual massage place

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The hotel was clean and the breakfast was outstanding. However, the staff is very process driven instead of results driven. We arrived at 2:40pm and had to wait for 20 minutes to check in because “check in time is 3pm”. On New Year’s Day we did not have reservations for the restaurant and. Everything in town was closed. We asked for room service or food “to go” and there was no flexibility. They should have an option for those who do not have a reservation. The hotel is great when everything falls in line with the expected, but they extremely rigid in the policies and do not accommodate when faced with unusual circumstances.

Ideal for short stays in Kyoto, or for anyone who is prioritising convenience without sacrificing comfort. Right next to Kyoto Station, the location couldn't be better or more practical. The hotel is fairly low-key, with an air of luxurious hotel that's just past its prime, but hasn't fully lost it, and is now a good bang for buck.

Hotel is old and needs a make-over. Rooms are too cramped, can hardly fit with luggage making stay uncomfortable. Front desk assistance (communication and flexibility) can be better. Breakfast buffet has lots of variety, but quality can be improved.

It’s a very convenient location and right across the street from the Kyoto Train station. The rooms have a very outdated and inconvenient layout for families. The one thing I noticed I am still finding myself unsure of was the pitch for a paid upgrade upon check in. I was asked if I wanted to upgrade from the room I paid for to a room which I’m starting to wonder was already the one I had booked and reserved. I had asked to show photos from the original room and they said they didn’t have it advertised. Thought it was odd but it was already a long travel day so I went with it as the clerk has mentioned the bathroom layout would be better for my wife and kids. Also another odd thing is this hotel out of the three I have stayed at is the only one that charged me the tourist or occupancy tax. Didn’t question one either but I remembered reading about it. But now wondering if the other hotels had already padded it into the booking and this hotel was just finding ways to charge extra fees to the guest.
