Near river and can easily cross over to Gion. Bus stop just outside hotel which one can take a bus to the main shopping area and other places of interest. Lots of food choices along the river Kamo.
Property is clean, and staff accommodating.

Simple, straightforward accommodations in a perfect location for exploring Kyoto Gion area. Our family of four used two rooms and were very comfortable for our 2-night stay. I wish we had booked longer.

Was in a good area. Laundromat and 711 across the road. Walking distance from lots of restaurants and nishiki markets.
No luggage hotel transfer which made it dofficult for us.
Room needs some colour. So white.
Cheap stay and good enough for a few nights.

Great Location/Excellent Hotel
Spotless facility in a perfect location. Next to a bus stop and the subway entrance is very close. The front desk staff are very helpful. Great places to eat all around. Very easy to walk to some of the major sites. Highly recommend.

Great area
We had a few nights here. Location was excellent right near the bus stop and a short walk into the Gion shopping area. Lots of choices for eating nearby and great French cafe 2 mins away that was open early for really good coffees. The room itself was fine….small but clean as was the bathroom. The only negative were the hard pillows. They made sleeping difficult. The hotel should invest in soft comfortable pillows. Also the blinds in our room needed some attention as they were damaged. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. overall good value for money.

Incredible value!
Absolutely amazing service - staff are so lovely, really helpful and great English. The hotel is in a great location and the room was honestly nicer than other hotels we’ve stayed in on our trip to Japan for almost 10 times the price!! Such good value. Would 100% stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto.

For a budget hotel, they have everything you would need. It's simple and clean. The location is great. It is located at a slightly quiet area but only 5 mins walk to the main Street. Where all the restaurants and department stores located. 10 mins walk to Gion area and subway stations.

Brand new hotel with beautiful modern rooms
This small hotel has an excellent location just outside the central restaurant and shopping area of Kyoto. The rooms are very modern and new and our room had stupendous views over Kyoto. Excellent wifi and free mobile phone for guests’ use.
Staff are helpful although the level of English varies a little. However the hotel facilities are fairly limited- no meals available, lobby is very small and no laundry facilities. There is free coffee in the lobby on request.
