Very good location but the main reason I booked this hotel wasn’t accomplished( which is the public’s bath), it’s was under renovation they said.

Really love the location as it’s only 2 minutes walk from Kyoto station! The staff was really hospitable and I enjoyed the breakfast spread as well. Family friendly hotel which was well worth the money.

Clean, warm and good service. Very close to Kyoto Station. Very convenient to drag luggage. I will stay here again next time. I was also given a room upgrade when I came back the next day. I am very happy😃

My friends and I chose this place as our first travel destination, and everyone was satisfied.
1. Very close to Kyoto Station
2. The breakfast was really delicious
3. There are drinks and beer machines in the lobby
4. There is a large bath in the basement, so you can relieve your fatigue.
5. There are restaurants and convenience stores nearby
6. The room is clean and tidy. The air conditioning is so good that it's cold
If I go to Kyoto again in the future, I'll 200% stay here.

Very satisfied, the service attitude of the grandfather at the front desk is super good, patient and meticulous. The room is also very clean, soundproof, and the location is even better. Breakfast is served at different times, the environment is quiet, and the dishes are rich. I took my children to experience the tatami room, and the children also liked it. Thank you.

The Japanese style of the room is exquisite and reasonable. Although the room is small, it is well soundproofed and the air is fresh. This is the great thing about the island. There is also a laundry room which is very convenient. About 500 meters away is JR Fukushima Station, with many restaurants nearby. In early July, the house price of 1k and a bit felt a bit expensive.

Room: Traditional Japanese tatami room, the children loved it! The room is big enough. The wet and dry bathrooms are completely separated for bathing, toileting, and sinks. Even if three people stay there, they won't interfere with each other.
Facilities: Both men’s and women’s baths are very good! After a day of walking, it’s better to rest in a hot spring!
Transportation: Just outside the Kyoto Station exit, less than 150m walk, the transportation is very convenient, you can take a taxi at the door, and you can take the subway or bus from Kyoto Station.
Food: There is a food hall 50m away under the Kyoto Tower, and there are many restaurants to choose from.
Service: Everyone is very enthusiastic and all matters are informed in advance.
Breakfast: Japanese breakfast, various pots.
Highly recommended for families with children!

The decoration is dilapidated and the cleanliness is average! Perhaps for this reason, there are not many people staying here, and it’s just the family that goes to the bathhouse every night. The bathhouse is large and comfortable. It also has a frozen pool. After you take a dip, you get free drinks and beer.
I am very satisfied with the service at the front desk. Every time there is a Japanese and a foreigner who can speak fluent English. They are very friendly.
People who like night activities should note❗️The hotel is not allowed to enter or leave from 12 pm to 5 am! We haven't tried their actual operation, but the front desk made this clear when we checked in.

The Japanese-style tatami I stayed in was quite comfortable. The room was not big and it was okay for three people. The location was very good and very close to Kyoto Station. It was very convenient to travel. Thank you to the ********* Ms. Zhang at the front desk for her very good and considerate service and she helped me solve a lot of problems. Travel issues.

After comforting my exhausted soul and physical strength in Osaka in Kyoto, I set off for Korea. Since the accommodation was close to Kyoto Station, just across the street, there was no strain on my tired legs, and a soak in the large public bath after dinner relieved some of my fatigue. In particular, the Korean staff was very kind and helped me make reservations for the limousine bus to Kansai Airport, so I arrived at the airport comfortably. I wasted so much energy in Osaka that I couldn't even look around Kyoto, so I want to come back to Kyoto again, but I'll book this hotel then too. The tatami room was nice, the bed was comfortable, the accommodation was clean, and all the other Japanese staff were friendly. ^^ The kids also said they enjoyed the tatami room experience and the yukata, and they enjoyed the free beer and rested comfortably before leaving. The breakfast was also delicious. .^^
Because I had to leave early in the morning, I couldn't even say thank you to the Korean staff. I don't know if you'll see the review, but thank you so much.^^

Even though I had intended to arrive at 6pm, I received a phone call to confirm that the arrival time was 7pm and the meal was scheduled for 7pm. My daughter had mentioned that it was a birthday trip for me when I made the reservation, so she gave me a wonderful surprise at dinner, which I was very impressed with. There was no one in the bathroom, so I was able to relax in the private bath.The people at the front desk and the people who helped me with meals were all very pleasant people, and it was a great memory.Thank you very much. My daughter and I are talking about wanting to go again.

In short, it is an inn where you can feel the company's efforts and consideration from the customer's perspective. Since it was a cheap plan, I didn't have high expectations, but the dinner of tender and delicious wagyu beef sukiyaki also came with fresh sashimi, and the breakfast of boiled tofu and warm meat and potatoes were all carefully made. Also, I was very satisfied with the fact that I was able to enjoy several different types of delicious pickles for dinner and breakfast, which is typical of Kyoto. There is a free drink machine in the lobby, as well as manga and a children's area. What surprised me most was that I was able to enjoy some very delicious craft beer. The only thing I was disappointed about was that I didn't notice the coffee server installed in the lobby on the other side until I returned to retrieve my luggage that I had left with me at check-out, so I was unable to get hot coffee during my stay. This event made me realize once again how important it is to explore hotels...lol. The large and medium baths are spacious and have shampoo, conditioner, body soap, facial cleanser, and makeup remover, which is very good, but there is no drinking water nearby, so you have to drink the ice water or soft drinks in your room. It would be nice if you could go there. The men and women in the large and medium baths alternate every day, so I took a bath in the morning as well. The room didn't have many electrical outlets, but it was beautifully renovated and comfortable, and they provided some tea bags and sweets, which I was grateful for. All of the hotel staff were very nice, and I was able to enjoy the atmosphere of a ryokan, making it a very comfortable hotel. I would like to stay there again if I have the chance. thank you very much.
