Amazing space ,wonderful private bath with jacuzzi, steam room and massage chair. There was an assortment of bath scents and amenities. Robes and slippers provided. We enjoyed the pampering. It was a long walk from the train but so worth it.

The hotel is very cute and clean, with a convenient 7-Eleven located right in front, which makes it easy to grab snacks or essentials anytime. However, the room is quite small and may not be suitable for travelers with large luggage. The breakfast time is quite limited, which can feel a bit rushed. One small downside is that while the front desk provides almost everything, it would have been nice if they also offered drinking water, coffee, or tea for guests waiting for their rooms. Overall, it’s a pleasant stay with good convenience, but there’s still a bit of room for improvement.

I love staying at this hotel. It’s just one train stop away from Kyoto station. Once you alight from the next stop at Toji station, the hotel is just a stone’s throw away after crossing a traffic light. Very hospitable staff and service. They’re courteous and friendly. Hotel amenities are tip-top and room space is decent for a solo traveller. Breakfast is sumptuous witch varying food options. It’s buffet style and I must say… I love everything I eat there. The croissants, fruit and salad bar, the smoothies, protein selection… everything is so well thought out. As for getting to other places of interests, you hardly need to take the train. You just have to plan out and board the fixed-fare buses wherever you go. I will definitely come back to this hotel should I travel to Kyoto again in the future. I highly recommend this hotel!

Very convenient location, close to Kyoto Station. The staff were super friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions. The environment was lovely, and they even provided pajamas in the room. Breakfast was delicious and varied. Plus, they offer free luggage storage after check-out, which is a big plus!

I only stayed one night at this hotel for a quick check-in after arriving on an overnight bus from Osaka to Kyoto, but I still got a good first impression. First, it seems to have been recently rebranded. Second, it's a convenient walk from the bus station, meaning it's quite close to Kyoto Station. For those looking to travel around the area by transferring at Kyoto Station, this hotel is a budget-friendly option. The bedding in the room was comfortable, and you could store large suitcases under the bed, which saved space. Although the room was close to the road, it wasn't noisy. The hotel overall was quiet and clean, with quite a few Western guests. There's nothing much directly around the hotel; for dining and shopping, you need to cross the block to the area around the station, where you'll find everything you need. All in all, it's a good place! The price is cheap, so you can't expect everything; that's just unrealistic.

The room with tatami mats has a traditional Japanese taste! It's a pity that the soundproofing is not very good, so I can only use the air tones to talk to my friends. You can hear the sound of talking next door and even the alarm very clearly😂

Overall a great place to stay. Its not too far from Shijio, Gion or Kawaramachi (places with lotsa shopping and emtertainment) The room is sufficient for 2 pax and 2 big lugguages. Amenities were available daily, some of which upon request. And housekeeping happens once every 4 days. Staff were super friendly and extremely helpful. A very minor issue was that the washing machines and dryers were a little subpar. Plus there are only 3 of each. But if you dont mind walking for laundry, there were coin ones about 5-10mins away.

Pros : Easy access to downtown area and sightseeing spots - there are bus station and subway station nearby. Hotel is quite newly furbished and room size is more spacious than other properties of the same hotel chain. Service standard has been kept up to expectation. Cons : If there is anything to complain about - no onigiri (rice balls) found in breakfast during my 4-night stay. .

DDr.p3pp3rI stayed here in a double room and overall had a pretty good experience. The room was clean and comfortable, and both the air conditioning and heater worked very well. One thing that really stood out was the bathroom — the bathtub was much larger than what you usually get in Japan. I’m a tall person, and I could actually sit down and lie back comfortably, which is rare. Most hotel baths feel very small, but this one felt closer to around 1.4m in length, which made having a bath genuinely enjoyable. The bed was comfortable, and housekeeping did a great job — the bed was made every day with fresh sheets. Wi-Fi was also very fast, which was a big plus. Amenities were decent, and you can pick up extra items if you need them. Check-in is a bit late at 3pm, which I didn’t love, but that’s balanced out by an 11am checkout. Having that extra time in the morning made it feel worth it overall. I did have a couple of negatives. The strangest one was finding an old sock behind the TV when I arrived. It was very obvious and not hidden, so I’m not sure how it was missed during cleaning. It was a bit gross, but I just left it. Another downside was the mini fridge — it’s more like a cooler than a real fridge. It keeps drinks from getting warm, but they don’t get properly cold. In summer, this really wouldn’t be good enough. Replacing it with a proper mini fridge would be a big upgrade. The other major issue was the lift. It is painfully slow, and there’s only one lift for the upper floors. On checkout day, I left my room about 10 minutes before checkout time, and I almost didn’t make it downstairs in time because of how slow it was. That part was honestly pretty ridiculous. Location-wise, this hotel is excellent. It’s very easy to get to from Kyoto Station — just head south and you’re there in about 4–5 minutes. It’s also very convenient when leaving Kyoto by train. A tip for using the subway: instead of going back to Kyoto Station, walk right from the hotel to Shijō Station. It’s on the same subway line, you’ll get on before Kyoto Station, and the train is empty — so you’re almost guaranteed a seat and can ride comfortably to your destinations. For food and shopping, there’s a shopping mall just across the road toward the station with a Don Quijote, McDonald’s, and other options. The hotel is also right next to a Coco Ichibanya curry house, which is fantastic and open late. Overall, despite a few odd issues, this was a solid stay with a great location, good comfort, and very easy access to transport. I’d happily consider staying here again.

From the moment I walked in to this hotel I knew I had booked the right hotel , we arrived hours before check in time and wanted to leave our bags , instant assistance from staff to secure our luggage in the baggage lockers , we came back at check in time and once again a staff member was there instantly to assist us through the computer console check in process as well as provide us with all the necessary information for our stay . We booked a deluxe room and it was exactly that , it was better than the photos on the booking platform . Amenities , especially the laundries were fantastic , you can check the status of your washing machine from your in room tv , wow ! Everything bathroom product and coffee/tea and milk satchels were available near the lobby lift if you needed to replenish your room . The location was perfect , right across the road from the train station . I couldn’t and wouldn’t fault this hotel . It was absolutely outstanding , excellent staff , beautiful big sound proof room with a great bathroom . 5 stars from us , I wouldn’t stay anywhere else if I came back to Kyoto .

Great place to relax and unwind after spending the day in Tokyo!  Staff were extra kind and extremely helpful.  The facilities and decor are top-notch.  The aesthetic of the room was incredibly well thought out - the dimmed lighting makes the room even more relaxing - the hot tub/onsen on the first floor is extremely well maintained and great after walking all day.  There's a nice cafe connected to the lobby and a Family Mart five steps from the hotel entrance. Would highly recommend if you need to be near Kyoto station.

A unique hostel-like stay with a private room but shared bathroom. Clean and comfortable. The location in Kyoto is perfect-right near the bus station where I caught my overnight bus to Tokyo (shoutout to the receptionist girl who told me where to buy the ticket!). I walked to all the major sights from here, and there's a 7-Eleven right across the street. The lobby is spacious, great for eating or relaxing, and they even provide really nice pajamas. Highly recommend staying at least one night to explore Kyoto!

+ this hotel 01 station only from Kyoto Station, using metro and stop at Koji Station , and then walking about 15minutes to the hotel + The easy way to reach this hotel is using bus, and stop at Kujo Omiya. Many bus have direct route to Gion, and other tourist spot (about 30 minutes riding). Please take a notes, this hotel is not in tourist area, very quiet and you will meet with many local people here. + this hotel have a concierge and standby staff, so you can keep the luggage before checkin. + this hotel is very new, i think maybe open early 2026, when we proceed for the check in, the hotel staff gave us some welcoming gift, and we can saw many flowers buoquet there. And the good news, yes they have an elevator, so no issue for thise who bring big luggage + Room very clean and tidy. We book for 03 persons, and they prepare room with 04 twin beds (separate 02 rooms). Inside room have bathtub, laundry, kitchen + equipment, and 01 dining table. + I think maybe this is the best hotel we stay at Japan. Very modern, all brand new, many USB port inside the room, wifi connection is strong, really quiet and really convenient for stay + around 05 minutes walking, you will find japanese ramen noodle resto, and also local mini market. - a little bit troublesome for communicate with the hotel staff, because when we want to make sure about Yamato Delivery Service to this hotel, it was so hard to reach to hotel staff throung phone / email. When we asking to the hotel staff about this, they said they not receiving any chat from the trip.com / expedia platform. I dont know where is the issue, maybe because this hotel very new or they are not ready yet for the online communication Please take a notes that you have to pay kyoto city tax. We stay for 02 night, and we pay JPY 1.600 total Overall it was a nice stay, and definitely really recomend this hotel for stay at Kyoto.

MMagmagcuNothing to complain about this hotel. Excellent location, good customer service provided by the front desk staff. Though she can’t speak much English, you can feel her passion and enthusiasm to assist the guests. There is a small grocery store in the front desk area with fresh fruit, bread and even Japanese souvenir is provided. Will definitely return in future. There is a nice burger restaurant nearby.

Nice small hotel, they give you umbrella and asked you to keep in your room throughout your stay and only give them back before check out. We came in September so its either scorching hot or raining. It wasn't raining when we were there but hotttt. So the umbrellas are our savior. They have luggage storage, so we left our luggage on our arrival (check in at 3 or 4pm) so we roamed around and came back later at night. At 12MN they will close the door and you need to use the password (they'll let you know beforehand obviously). We came back around 10 or 11pm and all our lugagges were already in our designated room, so convenient. The room is not so small neither very spacious. Just nice for us both, we took turn to open our lugagge. And we didn't shop much in Kyoto. Our iron unfortunately broke when we arrived in Japan. So day 1 in Kyoto we didn't managed to get the iron since another guest already using it (we checked in at night) but the next day the staff kindly went to the other guest room and take iron after they finished using it and sent to our room. We were so grateful. We went to the Kyoto Kawaramachi Station by cab. Since we didn't download the GOtaxi App nor Didi before arriving in Japan, we cannot register the app since they required phone number to send confirmation (we used esim) so we just waived the cab by the road and took about 5-10min to get one. We planned to transport our luggage to Osaka on the same day from Kyoto but we missed the time. You need to send the luggages to the designated (not all Yamato centers offer same day delivery service) Yamato Transport Service Center before 10am for the same day delivery service. We arrived around 10:40am so we got into another cab to the station and bring all of our lugagges with us on the Shinkasen.
