The hotel's location was perfect and convenient, just a short walk from the train station and close to restaurants and shopping. The rooms were on the old side, very small, and got stuffy quickly due to the air conditioner needing cleaning. The high step into the capsule-type bathroom and the small size would have been challenging for two guests with suitcases.

Rooms

The rooms were old and very small, making it difficult to unpack. The air conditioner needed cleaning and the high step into the bathroom was not ideal for showering over the high bath.

I ended up booking this hotel for $294 as there were no other options available and I really wanted to stay in Kyoto that weekend. The room was clean and comfortable despite a high step that made it a bit challenging. The service was friendly and helpful, although I noticed they should pay more attention to cleaning as there was dust and mold. The location was perfect, near bus and train stations with easy access to most places in Kyoto. The dining experience offered a mix of Western and Japanese cuisine, but some dishes had no taste. Overall, the hotel provided a good stay with a few minor issues to consider.

The hotel has a tiny room but decent for us Asians. It was slightly bigger than most Tokyo hotels, though still small. The location is very convenient, close to shopping areas and transport options. The dining options cater mainly to Asian tastes. Service was friendly but overpriced for the quality. Rooms have a 2-meter sofa and a good-sized wardrobe.

The hotel offers clean and good-sized rooms with free snacks but needs better ventilation. The staff is friendly but struggles with English. The location is convenient for visiting key attractions. The dining options are satisfactory but may not cater well to Western tastes.
