Good spot for easy access to Gion and downtown Kyoto. Staff lovely and helpful. Room clean but bathroom smelled very much of mould/dampness. No USB ports for any charging.

Cleaning services lackluster
They only offer room cleaning once every 3 days. We found the towels provided to be quite thin and they didn't dry easily in the bathroom, so we had to ask for new towels on the second day. Thankfully they provided extra towels when we asked.
We ran a load of laundry while we were there (700yen) with an extra drying cycle (200yen). Somehow our clothes seemed more wet after the extra drying time. Would not use their laundry facilities again.
The mattress is very firm and the pillows offer no support. The room was clean enough and spacious for Japanese room sizes.
It was nestled in the residential area and a bit hard to locate. Being in a residential area, there weren't that many restaurants nearby. The room was clean and decent. No sunlight through the window though.
Clean and modern hotel in the nice Sanjo district. Very close to many temples, bus stops, subway station, convenience stores and more. Would go back again.
Fast check in process. They are kind and allow you to keep the luggage in the lobby if you arrive before check in.
The room is comfortable, clean, spacious and the hotel location is great. Highly recommend it :)
The room super small and bed is hard could not sleep with a small hard bed . Bathroom is so tight not comfortable for American customers in general. Good to have free water refill , and pretty clean . Room service is every 3 days which a bit long if you need people make bed and clean towel
Great spot to stay. Convenient and close to the station. If you will explore kyoto through the day you can find a comfortable place to rest here. Essy check in and friendly staff. They answered questions through message very quickly when we need to confirm a luggage send out to them. Coin Laundry available on site.

Quiet hotel in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Rarely saw a staff worker at the front desk but never needed much. Only one small pillow so if you need more, ask.
For our first stay, on our first trip to Kyoto, we couldnt have asked for more! A lovely quiet setting just tucked away from the main street. This allowed us to have great access to everything we needed but give us a break in the quiet of the neighborhood when needed. Our room was a great size for our 3 day stay. So happy with our stay! Will absolutely be back for our next trip!
Our group loved this location. We stayed here for 8 nights and it was in a great location and had all the necessities we needed! :)

Ms chain of hotels have really narrowed down the experience to a minimum for the client at a maximum price for what you get. 4 o’clock check in is very inconvenient. No outdoor spaces or lounge at all. No bikes, breakfast, or beverage machines. We had to beg for one extra pillow. The windows don’t open, and the door make a constant high pitched humming noise from the draft. Pay more, stay elsewhere.
