This hotel was nicely located in Kyoto, quite a short walk from subway. Surrounded by nice parks and easy to get around. Overall had a good experience at this hotel with easy check-in and out process. Safe entry to hotel after hours with key-card required also.

Room—not too tight—compared to others in this price point. Clean and comfy, quiet area with dining and combini options in the neighborhood. Transportation within walking distance.

For a cheap price for 2 nights, this hotel was better than expected. It was easy to travel around and safe to come back in the evenings.

Standard Japan hotel quality
Perfect location with very good price!
Could take a 10 minutes walk to Kyoto station and Kawaramachi, and there are a McDonald & a Starbucks nearby.
Also the hotel is located in a quiet lane, the window can be opened and be sleeping well all night long.

I booked a smoking room because it was advertised with a "city view", so I thought it would be worth the small sacrifice. The "view" was over some ugly blocks and the smell of cigarette was extremely strong. They should probably remove the "city view" qualificative altogether. Otherwise, the hotel was nice and well located.
