Highly recomend

The hotel is clean and very spacious. It is a 30 minutes walk from the main busy markets. We were able to leave our luggage before we were able to check in, that was very helpful.

The room size is amazing for the price! Love the water pressure and small but great to have balcony. The beds were also very comfortable.

God og rolig beliggenhed i flotte omgivelser

Rigtigt godt hotel/lejlighed i et smukt og roligt område. Hotellet lå ud til en lille kanal, med piletræer. Der var flot og tæt på lå en overdækket butiks/spisegade, så man kunne gå i lå for regn og sol til metroen og busserne rundt i byen. Værelset havde to store og gode senge, med aircondition. Herudover var der køleskab, el-kedel, mikrooven samt kogeplade. Service var minimalt kun til 4 personer. Kun et bord med 2 stole, men kan rykkes rundt så 2 sidder på sengen (hvis man er familie på 4). Vaskemaskine samt badeværelse der kan fungere som tørreskab, perfekt når man er på rundrejse i Japan.

This was a great hotel to stay in with a kitchenette and a washing machine in the room. The room was a much larger space than most Japan hotels.

Best walking location to see and do everything I wanted to in Gion and surrounds. Will return to stay here! My only dislike is that the male receptionist told me that there was no hotel phone he could use to help me call to change my flight :(

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was close to subway station, which was perfect. Room was spacious and the washer was a bonus.
Yolanda, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

VERY loud. Ground floor room. You hear constant noise from guest above you and on the side of you. You sleep when they go to sleep and you wake when they wake up. The place seemed great until 4 am the first morning when the upstairs guest woke up. It was jarring to say the least how there was no sound proofing and every step they took or every door they closed was a loud boom. We alerted the staff (which we never do) and they actually came in the room and heard the noise and agreed with us. By the time we went to confirm our move the next day (and packing up to do so) we were told we could not be moved. We looked at other places to move to but held out hope that it was just a loud guest. It was not the guest but the building itself. If you are given a ground floor room do not accept it unless you don’t mind a lot of noise.
Victoria, 4-night trip

All good. A clean comfortable and very nice place to stay.

Central NY comes to Kyoto.

Our stay was wonderful. Everybody was very welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect for what we wanted. Located in a quiet neighborhood with access to lots of shrines, temples, restaurants, subway, grocery store. The soaking tub and the washing machine were really nice amenities, and the heated toilet seat sold us on the whole deal.The only real issues were the security light kept going on and off because it was motion sense and there wasn’t any way to stop that so every time we moved it went on. Also the TV was in a very difficult situation to be able to use given the layout of the room. And lastly, there was no sitting area or small couch. But we did have two large beds in the room and otherwise everything was absolutely stunningly perfect.

Everything was amazing except for you could hear the noise from up above. The stomping and running around of kids or people staying right above you. We loved how everything was functional and useful
Lea, 3-night trip

価格のわりに部屋のインテリアが貧相でした。もう少しアレンジした方がコストパフォーマンスを感じられると思います。

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. I loved how the room included a washer for our dirty clothes. It was really convenient since our total trip to Japan was 15 days. The location of this hotel was also located near this really cute shopping street with a bunch of food places. We would definitely stay here again.

高齢の両親がスムーズにチェックインできるように、速やか対応していただきました。5日間のステイ中、追加の人数が増えたので、追加料金値段メールも、速やかに対応していただきました。 ありがとうございました。
Komako, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Very conveniently located walking distance to the old town and the shopping area. It is a decent size apartment for Japanese standards. What we didn't like was the darkness of the apartment. There is only 1 window very close to the next building. The kitchen is fully equipped but there is not a table or a chairs to sit on. Also there are not tea/coffee bags provided. The apartment is not serviced but that was expected. It feels like Airbnb accommodation.

Our stay here over the few days was great. Room and bathroom were spacious and the ability to do laundry all in the room was excellent. Really short walk to the subway station and walking distance to major shrines, shopping, dining and attractions. Definitely would stay again and absolutely recommend.
