Friendly and helpful staff. Consistent standard with the other two sotetsu hotels we stsyed in this trip but room is rather smaller. Breakfast selection could be better with more variety. Overall a pleasant stay.

Can’t fault this hotel. Was clean, provided amenities were very good, very good location between the Keihan and Karasuma lines. Bus options plenty also. Close enough the central spots with walking distance to dining spots. Cannot comment on breakfast as I didn’t have it at the hotel.

The staff were very kind and helpful to us, spoke great English as well. All the staff were very kind and respectful to us. I’m glad they let us leave our luggage at the hotel 1hr before our check in time so we can explore kyoto a bit. My husband and I enjoyed our room because it was so spacious, clean and comfortable. The AC worked very well for us and everything in our room made the experience great. This hotel is about a 8 minute walk from the nearest train station and approximately a 15-20 minute walk to the popular shopping and market. So if you don’t mind walking or taking the train, then this hotel is a great option. My husband and I mainly walked and used the trains to get around so it was very convenient for us. If your looking for a hotel I recommend this one.

Easily our favorite stay in Japan! The breakfast is full of traditional Japanese options, which is lovely. Great coffee too. The bathtub is wonderful, the water pressure is great, and the AC works really well. The rooms are very small, but this is normal and is fine for two adults. Good location as well, if you don't mind the buss or a small walk for train. We've stayed twice and we will absolutely stay again next time we're in Kyoto. We might even just stay at Sotetsu Fresa exclusively when in Japan. 💚

This is a no frills hotel. The rooms were clean and the staff helpful. The location is good for business and sightseeing, particularly on the eastern side of Kyoto.

All the washing machines stopped functioning because they ran out of laundry detergent and only an outside company can refill it. Room felt small however they gave me complementary breakfast for the entirety of my stay.

Rooms were clean and bit more spacious compared to the last hotel we stayed at. Staff was very helpful and understood/communicated in English. The bed wasn't comfy, felt really hard. I had trouble sleeping the last few nights of our stay. Overall, good walking distance to Nishiki market and everywhere really. Lots of walking involved.

We liked the location and the room was fine. One thing that we didn’t like was that the cleaning staff came into our room without us asking for a clean. There was no sign to put on the door to not come in. Only signs to have them come in if needed. But we came back to a made up room which we didn’t want. Overall though it was a fine stay
