The hotel is within walking distance to the Karasuma Line and bus stops, making travel and sightseeing easy. However, the bathroom was quite dirty, there were some brown stains near the drain, and the shower curtains had black spots/mold on them. Would choose another hotel next time we visit Kyoto.

Many places you would like to visit in the city center are within walking distance. We left the hotel very satisfied, thank you.

Compact room but great use of the space. I appreciated the mini fridge, slippers and night gown that were free to use with the room. There was also a microwave in the lobby along with free coffee. I communicated just fine with the staff in English, they were accommodating for storing luggage early before checkin. The lobby was nicely decorated. I love the giant stone/moss ball.

The hotel staff were polite and very welcoming. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. However, the hotel is located in a small alley, so it’s a bit of a walk to the nearest subway and bus stops, as well as to the closest convenience store. The in-room amenities were limited—basic items were provided, but there were no more detailed touches such as hair ties, a comb, or bath salts. The coffee in the lobby wasn’t very good, and there were no other welcome drinks available. Additionally, the refrigerator in the room did not have a freezer function, so it wasn’t possible to store ice cream. Overall, it is a comfortable hotel that meets basic needs. Thank you for the hospitality.
