The price per night was good and the beds were comfortable.

The combination washer and dryer was great for washing tiny loads, but the dryer functionality could not get them dry. Maybe it could dry my clothes if I ran three or more dry cycles per load, but that isn't time efficient. I ended up walking a few blocks to a coin laundry and paying ~$13.00USD to wash and dry all of my clothes in one large load. The location could be better. It's close to the castle, but it's not very close to any other major attractions. Thankfully the bus service is cheap at only ¥230 per adult per trip. The hard part is walking to the bus stop and standing outside in the oppressive heat waiting for it.

It’s very close to Nijo-Mae station and Nijo station, it’s within walking distances from Nishiki market, Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace. The neighborhood is also awesome and you can look around to eat at local restaurants which btw are so accommodating even for non-Japanese speakers. The room is very spacious and the bathroom is massive and so clean and everything you need is just there. The front desk and staff are so helpful and so nice. The lobby is also really beautiful and they have this section where there are brochures and magazines you can browse local stores, restaurants and souvenir shops that is unique to the area. The bed is so big and comfy and the lights are awesome especially those who are not fans of total darkness (although there is an option for that too). There are a lot of charging ports so you can charge your devices closer to the bed, or on the table or literally anywhere. If you’re feeling a bit like snacking and feels lazy to go outside you can buy some on the front desk and the price is no different outside.

There’s no complaints really. There’s nothing to dislike about the place. However, do not that microwaves are in the lobby, there is none in the room but it’s not a big of deal really

we have stayed here for three times since last December, and will come back soon for sure! This clearly indicates how much we love this place! Thank you for the good works and your kind hospitility! Peter Hope, Florida, US

checkin/check out time could be a bit flexible if the room is ready. That will be better.

Overall the room is neat and spacious for two people. Washing machine, couch, table, and full body mirrors were provided and found them very useful during our stay. Neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Although the location of the hotel is a few minutes walk from JR Nijo station, it is very close to a bus stop so that made our commute to tourist spots very convenient.

Performance of the washing machine dryer is not that good. There was no dryer in the bathroom and a rack where clothes can be hanged and left for drying.

Lovely, clean room with all necessary amenities- really comfortable stay. Accomodating and nice staff. Worked perfectly for me, I liked the location too (though not right in the centre of Kyoto, very easy to get there within 20 mins by walking/bus). Very relaxed atmosphere, with all that you need close by. Short walk to Nijo station. Would definitely stay here again.

this is a modern Kyoto townhouse style hotel, which offers larger than average rooms, that are quite stylish. The staff are lovely and the facilities, such as the washing machine are modern and well taken care of.

There is no place to hang the towels after taking a shower, so over time the humidity in the room keeps increasing. Installing just a few hooks would help out so much!

Hotel is near the station, have many restaurants (kura sushi, gyutan NEGISHI etc) and convenience stores. there’s also a dondondonki store in less than 3 minutes walk and some mall at the west exit of the station. Room is pretty clean and bed is comfortable (love their shampoo as well). Would recommend people to stay here !!

it’s a bit small and cleaning service is every 3-4 days but still recommended :)

Very new and modern, clean, near to the bus stop and train station. wifi works really well, shared kitchen is well-equipped.

I’m very disappointed about how the hotel seems to really follow you up about doing pre-check in BUT NO INFORMATION AT ALL about no dropping luggage before check-in. Making it such a waste of time and energy for me to walk there especially with my elderly mother. If the hotel can inform ALL about pre-check in than it should be possible to inform about this dropping luggage policy, too.

A really nice small apartment with everything you need for four people if you don't mind staying out of the centre of Kyoto (easily reached by 3 stops on the train). You can easily and cheaply catch an Uber or taxi as needed for minimal expense. I found this place to be good value and especially loved the bathroom!!!!

The room design and atmosphere are impressive and amazing, the bed is comfortable, and the window is really sound proofing that I didn't even notice it is raining before I receive weather warning from my phone.

The light cannot be control individually, only few modes can choose. Besides, will suggest install some hooks in the washroom otherwise it is hard to find a place to put our shirt while taking bath.
