Splendid! I did not expect much from the reviews but it was the cleanest, no odor, quiet, nicer and straight forward hotel I've booked. Also, cheapest! Accessible to subways, buses, walks, few good restaurants around, and close to nishiki market. The room was small as most Japan hotels but very solo traveler friendly!

Situated on a quiet street off the main road so noise was a minimum. Close to Karasuma station. Half an hour’s walk from Gion or you can take the bus conveniently. Half an hour walk from Kyoto station as well! Great hotel!!! Restaurants and shopping all around!

Normally i would give a 5 star for this hotel i stayed twice, but it's a rainy day, and the front desk asked me to walk to the front street for a taxi....i'm a bit disappoined. Just think that he wouldnt really help to call a taxi for the guest with luggages. A note to self, allow extra time for the unexpected, like weather and traffic. Luckily, i took the subway and made it to my airport train few minutes prior.
