the room was great! spacious and clean. dryer function in the bathroom is efficient so we could wash our clothes at night and have dry clothes to wear in the morning. everything is provided for in the lobby so you can take and replace whatever you need in the room, including coffee and tea.

wifi only worked smoothly in the wee hours (2 - 4am). we raised it up and were told that the hotel was fully booked so everyone was using the wifi. 5G wifi password was 'given' but we were not given access to it. we got the wifi passwords of the other rooms but our devices could only detect wifi signals of our level. don't bother using youtube or Instagram because it takes up to 3 mins to load one page. the booking.com app page took ~20 seconds to load. it is disappointing as this is the only accommodation where we had issues with the wifi and it is located in Kyoto..

This property is well-located and a good budget option for a stay in Kyoto. The building is secure. The room is clean and the bed comfortable. As it is a budget place in a good location the room is small - you have to sit on the bed. There is a washing machine in the bathroom, which was great to have after a week of travel!

We had some trouble finding the key pick up place after arriving at the nearby railway station - I recommend triple checking the instructions before your trip! Once we found the place there was no trouble getting the key cards and finding the building.

The apartman is very spacious compared to japanese standards. Everything was clean. It's ten minutes walk from the train station. My room had a kettle, a microwave (however no plates or cutleries, so I did not use it), a washing machine (that I didn't use, as the staff told me the dryer function is very weak), a small desk, a double bed, and a very spacious bathroom with both tub and shower. Unlimited complementary tea and coffe is provided. Everything was clean. There is no cleaning during your stay, but you can use a hoover, and grab new towels or other amenities at the reception any time. My room had a street view, wich was lovely and silent. The house is in a more traditional street. There is a konbinin 4 mins walk, and many izakayas and restaurants in 10 mins walk. Overall I recommend this accomodation even for longer stays :)

I got a very long email in a quite frigthening style about recycling, and check-in, but in real life the staff very friendly, and the recycling was not as scary as in the document, and the staff was happy to help in everything. It's not possible to check in after 9pm. The drier function of the washing machine is weak. Based on the pictures I expected a tiny kitchen corner with plates, pans, cutleries, microwaves, and a cooktop, but I'm not sure if it was my mistake to book a room without a kitchen corner , or the booking was changed without my knowledge. At the end I wasn't unhappy because of the lack of the kitchen corner. They don't store luggages.

Biggest plus is the private washing machine you have!! We already have stayed at a few hotels in Japan before coming to Kyoto. And in every hotel you had to fight to use the coin laundry machines, always big queues or other hotel guests waiting. Next to that, the detergent made the clothes smell so good! Room was clean and relatively big, friendly staff and really great drip coffee packs.

Only improvement would be to add a full body mirror and maybe a small standing make up mirror. Now there was only the mirror in the bathroom. Would be nice to be able to see your outfit before you leave the room.

This place was super clean, and perfect for what I needed. It had a kettle and fridge, and a private bathroom, which even had a washing machine - a very welcome facility with the hot and humid weather! The bed was very comfortable, and the area was quiet and dark. A short 10 minute walk to the main Kyoto station - I managed to get everywhere else by bicycle. I loved having my own little space!

The only downside was the lack of storage space - only a couple of hooks. I ended up using the dryer to hang my clothes. There is plenty of space to put a set of shelves or a small wardrobe in here, or even somewhere to lie a suitcase would be helpful!

Quiet, Clean, a brief walk from Kyoto Station. The personal washing machine was a huge plus. Was worried about not having a dryer but the built in dehumidifier in the bathroom did the job perfectly. As others have stated there is a large book of rules, however the host who checked us in summed it up nicely though, no parties, don’t yell, be respectful while in and around the hotel. Easy enough.

The only part that gave me some anxiety was the trash system; there were several separate trash receptacles for different types of trash, and several pages of the book were dedicated to their sorting. Ultimately I was a bit confused by the different types of plastic and how they were to be classified. We did our best with it but it did require some extra effort to make sure we were complying with the rules best we could. Ultimately though I believe these rules are due to the city regulation, and the hotel being surrounded by residential housing. I get the impression that not sorting the trash and loud guests get complaints and trouble from the city & neighbors. Ultimately just be respectful and do your best to keep trash to a minimum and it’s a great spot!

Close to Kyoto Station and a area with many restaurants.

Not possible to store luggage before/after check-in/out. Late check-in time.

The location is just 5minutes away from the central station, without having to take any buses. It's located in a quiet street so there is no noise coming from outside. The room is very spacious and very well equipped with even a washing machine that you can use inside the room. All other amenities can be found in the lobby when you walk inside the building. There is also a drink vending machine in the entrance. The staff is also very friendly when checking in.

I did not personally find anything that I didnt like but I understand that a few items could be bothersome for some travellers. The check in as of DEC 2023 is in another hotel (2min away) which is not very far but it can be misleading if you do not read the emails they send you. Also there isnt staff the whole day, only in the afternoon but you should be exploring the amazing city during the day so that should not be an issue either! Overall this hotel exceeded by far my expectations!

The location is ideal, with convenience stores nearby and close proximity to the subway station. The price is affordable, and the customer service is friendly. The room amenities, such as the small refrigerator and washing machine, are convenient. The environment is clean, and towels and toothbrushes are provided at the front desk for self-service. Overall, the stay experience is very satisfactory.

The only minor flaw is that the soundproofing is not great; even soft-spoken conversations from outside can be heard clearly. However, closing the windows should improve this situation.

It was a decent size. The bed was pretty big and cozy. It’s self-served and love that we’re able to get our own hotel essentials in the front desk in case that we need coffee, creamer, tea, etc. It has an airbnb feel to it since it’s in a residential area. It comes with a washer and laundry detergent. We didn’t get to use it but I can assume someone staying longer can benefit from this. They also provided some umbrellas which I thought was pretty thoughtful.

I don’t like that you have to walk to another property (5-10 min tops) to check-in. It’s not too far but it’s already a pain to roll 2 luggages with backpacks from Kyoto station for 20 mins with the rain. We travelled from Osaka so we’re a little tired from that and that really is the last thing we want to do. I understand they were short staffed but they can maybe just do a self check-in. Also, the washer/dryer was inside the bathroom so it had that musky odor to it. Not a big deal but it you’re sensitive with smell then keep that in mind. You cannot check-in at a certain time so make certain of that if you have a late flight/arrival.
