The location was about a 15 minute walk from the nearest subway station and about 10 minutes from the bus stop but the area was quiet which was nice and there's a convenience store nearby. There was a microwave and refrigerator in the room, which was very convenient especially when you don't feel like going out for dinner. Overall it was value for money. It was a good place to crash at night while you spend your days going around Kyoto.

Maybe it's just my preference but I found the mattress to be too soft and a bit lumpy. I didn't get to sleep too well.

Location was great, walking distance from main Streets, and close to Kyoto station for some of the bigger shrines, and turist attractions. Room was very spatious, and it was a surprise beacause we expected tiny rooms in Japan. Room had everything you might need. Staff at the reception was great

In the same area there are a few hotels with the same name, so be careful and check the adress at Google Maps, not only name of the hotel 😁

The room was very spacious, with plenty room for three luggages. Good amenities freely available from the reception and free laundry machines. Good location (10 minutes from public transport, about 15 to Kyoto station). Not a bad thing per se, but note this is not a standard hotel: there is no daily room cleaning service and the reception is available only during limited hours.

Sending and receiving luggage with delivery services is inconvenient because they cannot handle luggage unless they are on location. Garbage separation and disposal needs to be done very carefully. Not a big deal but be careful.

Great hotel, had to check in at a sister hotel but this was not a problem as was not out of the way. Travelling to Japan was an experience, this hotel was supporting environmental policies driven by Kyoto City, so emphasis was placed upon these controls, this was clearly presented and not an issue to support. Daily housekeeping is managed by the guest, however clean towels, bath mats, tea/coffee, etc were readily available at reception. The laundry room was excellent The hotel, room and facilities was as described. Would highly recommend. Ideally located for Kyoto Station - 10 minutes walk

Everything was as described.

The room was nice, with all you need. The staff was friendly.

The room set up, with little space to access the bathroom (door opening the wrong way). The laundry facilities had 4 washing machine, but only 1 dryer in working condition. With the size of the hotel, there was always someone using the drier, and we ended up with a huge rack in the small bedroom to get our clothes dry. 15 min walk from the station.

Having free laundry, comfortable amenities, and having enough space in the room. I liked the fact of having a microwave and a fridge in the room. Near to the bus/train station

Having a time arrival restriction is mental. Be careful if you arrive late, otherwise, it will incur an extra charge. Arrival timetable as they mention in their pictures.. additionally, luggage storage is unavailable at any time, which can be very tough, especially when arriving early in the city.

Great facilities in terms of fridge, freezer, free washer and drying facilities, 'help yourself amenities'(the drip bag coffee is really good!). You can now check in at the hotel building (not at another one as per previous reviews). Good value for money.

20mins walk away from train station and 35-40mins walk away from any of the other main tourist attractions, lacking of buses etc near this area. Pillows were very hard. The USB port in our bedroom didn't work and the staff didn't have a UK adaptor so staff simply told us as 9pm at night we had to go out and buy one which was not easy considering both our phones were out of battery. Also check in seems very procedural as there isn't staff there all the time (including where fire extinguishers are etc) and in the (huge) manual, they talk a lot about the rubbish and that there is a fine if you don't sort your rubbish properly.

I really like the manual because if you told me all verbally I would not remember. Everything has instructions so it’s great! Plus it was a good reference to understand more about Japanese customs. I liked having a laundry room for free and being able to leave my clothes and not having to worry about it. The key and sensor was great for easy access of room and building. The elevator is super fast.

The dryers did not have a timer, so I often when up and down the elevator to check on my clothes. Also there were only two dryers for four washers, so there were just loads of clothes waiting. Another thing was having a key and a sensor, a bit tedious at first but you get use to it.

The acommodation is located in a quiet street almost next to the stunning temple of Higashi Hongan-ji. Kyoto station is very close, which is especially convenient when arriving or leaving by train or when you plan to go on day trips. You have supermarkets, 24-hour-shops, restaurants and almost all kind of shops in rather short walking distance. Kawaramachi shopping street with nice shops and a Ninja-museum as well as the Nishiki market are around 30 minutes walk from JP INN. Nijo-jo is about 35 minutes, Gion is about 40 minutes and the emperor´s palace is about 45 minutes walk. Anyway, Kyoto has a well-working public transport, so if you prefer you can get anywhere by bus in less time. The room was big, with a private bathroom, bathtub to relax and a tiny balcony. It comes with a fridge and electric water jug and you get free tea bags and coffee. You can take new towels every day. The room was nicely clean. We didn´t have much contact with the staff, but when we forgot something in the room after checkout they were really attentive and caring. I found very useful that there was a laundry room with several washing machines, dryers, free detergent and even clothes drying racks to take to your room!

We sometimes missed a kitchen - but that´s something you know in advance so not really a negative point about the Inn. There is nothing else that we didn´t like.

Amazing services. You have everything you need and beyond. The bed was very comfortable, the temperature of the room was adjustable as you like, you have hairdryer, toothbrushes, hear bugs, shampoo, towels, a little hair brush and all of that as many times as you like cos you can find more items at the reception. The laundry service brilliant, 4 washing machines and 3 dryers, hangers, washing liquid, ironing stuff everything you need. The location is very handy if you’re planning to take the train often as is 15 minutes walking from Kyoto station. Very recommended!
