some downsides are that you can’t control when the heat turns on or off. so, there was one night where it was extremely cold for my friends and i. Also, it is quite far from train stations and central areas. however overall, this was one of the nicest looking hotels i’ve stayed at for such a great price.
Response from Property: Thank you for staying at Rinn Horikawa Gojo.We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by the room feeling cold during your stay. As our hotel's air conditioning is centrally managed throughout the building, guests cannot switch between heating and cooling modes themselves, though the heating can be turned on and off. We deeply regret that our staff's insufficient explanation caused you discomfort. Whilst the hotel is situated a short distance from the station and the main shopping district, numerous buses operate from the surrounding area, and we encourage you to make use of this service. We are, however, delighted to receive your kind words regarding the hotel's appearance and price range.We sincerely hope you will choose to stay with us again on your next visit to Kyoto.

Amazing

The overall room layout is pretty good; for a Japanese hotel, it's quite spacious. Being on the second floor, having self-service ice and laundry machines is also a nice bonus. The front desk staff included a foreigner who could communicate directly in English, as well as a Hongkonger who spoke Cantonese, and Mandarin was also an option.

Best hotel experience we’ve had during our stay in Japan. Location is great as it is in a clean, low crowds, easy access area. The convenience of everything including transport (near Gojo Station and bus stop right out front of hotel entrance), English speaking staff who were incredibly helpful to answer any questions we had about within and out of the hotel. They really went above and beyond w/ their genuine kindness that made us feel soo warmly welcomed in Kyoto.

We had the best room in the hotel, on the only floor with amenities. Our receptionists were all fantastic, it was incredibly useful having someone who was so nice help you with things like reserving restaurants. The issues with this hotel are mainly that the rooms are not serviced daily and the lack of amenities.
Response from Property: Thank you very much for staying at Rinn Horikawa Gojo.Thank you very much for your compliments to our staff.Regarding the room cleaning service, we are sorry that we are not able to clean your room every day based on the SDGs concept.However, thank you for your valuable advice!As for the amenities, we will make efforts to improve them based on your comments as well.We hope you will visit our hotel again when you come to Kyoto!Rinn Horikawa Gojo Miyaji

A fantastic hotel, I loved it. I highly recommend it. You can also do laundry and get cold water there. It's quiet and comfortable, very close to the bus stop, and there are vending machines downstairs.

It's far from the station, the common areas are small, and there's no cafeteria, but if you prioritize cost-effectiveness, it's a good hotel.

I stayed here to attend my graduation ceremony.
It was very convenient as there was a convenience store nearby and it was within walking distance of the nearest station. However, since it faces a main road, I could hear a lot of noise from cars and motorcycles at night.

The separate bathroom and sink area was also very convenient.
