    There werent any towel hangers in the bathroom so it was a bit tricky. But they had hangers near the bed

    Only a 5 minute walk from Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit! the neighbourhood was quiet and there were also convenience stores nearby

    Staff was really friendly and understanding when we missed out first night due to the typhoon. Rooms had just enough space for 2 people and there were extra towels available for consecutive stays. The room's bells were the combine sound so that was amusing.

    The beds in Japan are hard, by the North American standard. Even harder, by our standards. The bed here is no exception. We would stop complaining if we had found no soft beds, but our last hotel, in central Tokyo, had a much softer bed. Perhaps the key is the closer to the train or bus stations, the more the beds will be harder and rooms smaller because of the types of clients choosing the location, for accessibility and not creature comforts?

    The location is very close to the train station, which is excellent. A 5 minute walk ,when you get the lay of the land, even with rolling luggage.

    Check in process was not smooth. While it was self-check in concept, it was not well stated in the website upon booking. Arrived at the hotel to find that there was no staff and could not check in. Had to borrow a phone to call in, which the staff send across the pin code to my email.

    Location was not too off from main Kyoto station. Place was clean and well maintained. It was peaceful and quiet at night. Hotel is easily found along the side road.

    - The room was very small. - Basic amenities like a daily water bottle were not provided, which was very disappointing. - There was no daily cleaning service. - changing daily towels is also our own responsibility.

    -Hotel location near to station. -English language support. - Highly secured

    The room smelled like mold. The wifi needed resetting, the booking site says nothing about documents for checking in. But the staff at the front mad me wait more than 30 minutes to check in because I didn’t have the documents that NOBODY told me I needed.

    There is no breakfast

    close to kyoto station, but tiny place & smelly carpet, limited staff help, limited facilities
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Standard Double Room

    The room was way smaller than expected, the air conditioner/heater had mold and dust, the carpet smelled of sweat, the restroom lacked towel hangers, the room had no source of ventilation other than the restroom ventilation, and limited access to staff so you can't potentially ship your luggage because you don't have 24/7 staff help.

    Location is the best for it is less than a 10 minute walk from Kyoto station.

    For the check-in we arrived at the time they normally do the check-in at but unfortunately the young man from the front desk arrived some time later. The good thing was that we were able to enter the hotel via entrance code which we got in advance so that we didn't need to wait outside in the cold. The mattress was way too hard for us but that might be ok for others.

    We especially liked that the hotel was very new and had a minimalistic and modern interior style. Everything was very clean and the room and hotel had everything you need for a trip during which you only return for sleeping and spend the days outside. Check-In and check-out were easy and fast. We could take fresh towels and several other amenities for free whenever we needed them and the upper floors could be reached via lift. Our room had an air-conditioner/heater as well as a kettle and a little fridge.

    Very good location close to Kyoto Station. The room is fine, equipped with everything I needed like a mini fridge, kettle, cups, hairdryer, fresh towels and amenities. There are ventilation fans in three places (bathroom, toilet room, and main room) which is very nice if you are someone who likes an odorless room with a little fan sound going. It’s soothing at night (or you can turn them off). The room was right next to the elevator, but I didn’t hear the noise at all. I would use this location again. :)
