Had higher expectations for this considering it was a 4-star hotel. Very clean and minimalistic. Loved the free tea for happy hour. Staff were helpful and super kind. The lobby area was beautiful and so was the room. Only complaint was no matter how long I waited, my sink never got warm or hot water. It was in fact ice cold and I came in December! There was no water or amenities in the room, amenities were downstairs and there just wasn’t any water. Very small room, almost didn’t have enough space and I don’t require a lot. Overall, decent place, just expected more for the price and 4-star rating.

Convenient and relaxing

This hotel is welcoming and bright from the arrival at Reception lobby. Staff are helpful and kind in a natural way. Free soft and alcohol drinks from afternoon until the evening. Nice range of toiletries to choose from by reception desk. Very nice room. Different layout to what I expected, more like a ryokan but smaller and within a modern structure. Very conveniently located at walking distance from Kyoto Station

THERE IS NO LAUNDRY FACILITY IN THE HOTEL!!! The laundry service won’t open on Sunday! While in the website advertised there’s laundry facility. The coin-laundry shop 10 minutes away. We stay in different hotels during our trip with about the same standard and advertising there are laundry facility or laundry machine in the room. Who needs laundry like me on Sunday will be hard. What’s a bummer!!! Staff overall are good! Walking distance location to station.

Amazing location, welcoming staff, delicious breakfast! The bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was great. We got the breakfast package which had great sashimi, Japanese and western options, pickles, salad bar, and sweets. The front desk and breakfast attendants were really nice and professional. Kyoto station is right around the corner which is a must. Clean everything—the interior of the elevator was old, but everything else was nice.

Good hotel but ridiculously small bathroom

Good trendy hotel close to the station which is convenient for activities in that area. Friendly staff and good service. The room was ok, our only real complaint is that the bathroom was ridiculously small for the quality of the hotel.

If you are looking for a convenient clean and safe place to sleep this is it. Cons: very few bells and whistles, verysmall rooms, and prefabricated style bathrooms. Pros:The property is clean and staff is friendly, location is super convenient for train and subway travel, has coin laundry and breakfast. We are big people so a bit tight for us, but overall a great experience. Would recommend for anyone who is not giant and wants a basic place to satay.
