Hello Kitty room was the cutest, a must for any Sanrio fan visiting Japan! And location was perfect in the Gion / Hirashiyama area, just a short walk to Yasaka pagoda, Kiyomizudera temple and a lot of the amazing sights in Kyoto.
The hello kitty room is so adorable. There’s luggage storage for before check in and a laundry machine. The room had a little kitchen in it. Very worth the money and not too expensive

Great stay, room was clean, staff were friendly and the shuttle bus to hotel was helpful. In a great walking location to spots like Yasaka shrine, Gion, Yasaka Pagoda and more.
Exactly as described! Comfortable, great location in Gion area with easy walking (within 20 minutes) to many attractions. Great transport links either on buses directly outside on the street or short walk (10-15 minutes) to a train station. Keyless entry was convenient and worked very well! Great stay and would recommend.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly. Very accessible to everything-close to the bus station, restaurants and convenient stores were a few feet away. Walking distance to attractions sites-Yasaka Shrine, Gion, Kiyomizu-dera temple. The amenities were great-available washer/dryer and luggage storage. Highly recommended. Will stay here again.
Absolutely fantastic location situated right at the heart of the temple areas. The room has great character and lighting, making it feel more homely and less sterile than so many of the rooms I stayed in Japan. It is right next to a main road and some of the louder sounds can get through. But nights are very quiet and the amazing location makes it totally worth it.

Great location for our stay in Kyoto. We stayed 6 nights, and during our stay we didn’t get cleaning and had to take out any trash ourselves. All this is fine for me, but then I must say the price per night is a bit high when there is no service.

The location was excellent. The room was clean and a good size for Japan. The bed was hard. The check in for the hotel was elsewhere close to Kyoto station I wasn’t not a fan.

Longest stay of our trip. Room are self managed- they have a small kitchenette- good mattress but also modes in the bathroom for drying clothes and etc
Washing machine not the best. The detergent is not strong enough and tumble dry same.
I would recommend go to the 24/ laundromat down the road- 15 mins away

Liked: Cleanliness
no housekeeping service provided and we were asked to take the trash ourselves down which is not exactly customer friendly.
Check in process is over complicated and takes a lot of time - have to go to central resi office and then wait to be shuttled to hotel, not worth the inconvenience and time.
Cleanliness - noticeable smell in entrance foyer. Room not much better very dirty bathroom, hair everywhere, cleaning spray left on the walls not wiped off.
Location - gion is close to a number of attractions but you can hardly walk down the street there are so many tourists. Very hard to find a dinner spot and everything is super expensive compared to other parts of the city and Japan in general. Not particularly convenient for metro.
This experience was not helped by a fire alarm going off at 6:30am with guests standing on the street, allegedly due to shower steam…

Havia lixo no corredor, muito lixo! O banheiro está razoavelmente limpo! Não havia ventilação no quarto…na entrada, mais lixo. Também não era muito silencioso pois ficava em uma avenida muito movimentada. Foi o pior hotel que fiquei no Japão
Très bel hôtel appartement bien situé très joli sur le thème hello kitty
Sécurité clé numérique très ingénieuse.
Dans le quartier de Gion.
Une navette jusqu'à l'hôtel prévue après le checkin dans un bureau près de la gare bien indiqué c'est vraiment un avantage
Le prix était très intéressant.
Un magnifique cadeau à l'arrivée je suis très touchée merci beaucoup.
Très réceptif aux mails à la moindre question
Die Lage hat Stärken und Schwächen: an einer gut befahrenen Straße, bedeutet aber auch, dass in der Region die Tempel und die Restaurants und den Markt sind gut erreichbar.

Die Lage war super, die Räume sind schön eingerichtet und es gibt eine kleine Kochecke mit Utensilien zum Kochen. Ein Kritikpunkt ist das Bad, hier fehlen Ablagemöglichkeiten und eine Steckdose. Außerdem floss das Wasser im Waschbecken schlecht ab, uns wurde versichert das wäre in allen Zimmern so. Insgesamt fanden wir das Zimmer aber gut.
