Close to metro station and bus stops, as well as in Nishiki market. Also, walkable to grocery and to the mall. Good size room for our family of 4. Will definitely come back. I love how they have washer available to use. The only thing was, they should put more plates available to use for their guests.

Laundry is a combination washer and spin dryer. You need to hang your clothes for them to completely dry. Found an empty water bottle and a piece of clothing from the previous gest on the floor between the bed and wall. Bathroom was very clean.

Quaint and comfortable place to stay. It felt more like an apartment than a hotel, which I really liked. Being able to do laundry during my trip was a big plus. Great location—close to trains and all the main attractions in Kyoto.

Such a perfect stay! At first we were concerned because there isn’t a dryer. No worries - just hang it in the bathroom and push the “dryer” button. Worked like a charm. They provide all the towels, soaps, shampoos and slipper - plus toothbrush/paste and brush if you need it. We just came from Tokyo and figured we’d have another small place but this place had so much room PLUS an elevator. And the staff was super friendly. We would definitely stay at this chain, given our awesome experience here. Domo Arigato for very clean, comfortable and well planned accommodations! Also - there’s a bus stop right outside your door to take you to the Kyoto station (perfect for when you’re traveling by backpacking lol!)

Bus stop at the door means easy and quick access to Kyoto Station. In room laundry meant i was able to bring just 3-4 days of clothes for my 10 day trip. There's a park 2 min north of the hotel where I got to meet a couple of nice Brazilians living / working in Japan. The closest convenience store is a little further away about 5 minutes walk north to the main street. Subway is further away probably 15 minutes so be prepared to walk. There were 4 of us so we ended up taking a lot of taxi for around 1000 yen per trip to/from major attractions like kyomizudera or nishiki market, even kyoto station. the in room kitchen was clutch as well as we were able to cook a couple meals of wagyu from the supermarket on the cheap. we had to buy paper bowls though as the two plates they had were too shallow... but the pots and pans they supplied were great.

This hotel was perfect for our stay. The room was clean and came with a kitchenette and washing machine w/ 2 soap pods. The bathroom was more roomy than the other hotels we’ve stayed at. The room temp was adjustable and able to keep up with our needs. The bed and bedding were comfortable providing a good nights sleep. It was close to restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend.

This company has check-in at a guest centre located a short walk from Kyoto Station where the staff were multi-lingual and very helpful and kind. We were able to leave our bags until check-in and also book a free shuttle service to our accommodation. The room itself and the beds were quite comfortable, and having a washing machine was awesome. This location in particular is quite close to some great places to eat and its about a 10 minute walk from Shijo station which gets you pretty much anywhere else. Great place to stay!!
