    Great stay and good value of money
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Studio Apartment
    • Stayed 5 nights

    - We can hear voices from the room upstairs but not that loud (not that disturbing but would be better if 100& soundproof) - If travelling by train, the location is quite far from station - The cutlery and kitchen facilities are very limited. It's good just for when you buy something easy to eat but not suitable for cooking a meal - Overall room is clean at first glance, but some small areas are still dusty (bed / bathroom door)

    - The location is good but not that perfect. There is a bus stop in front of hotel (only bus no.50) There are Family Mart / Fresco supermarket and Life supermarket nearby which is very convenient and most of them are open 24 hours - Room layout is exactly like in the picture when booking - The room size is normal (not big and not small for Japanese standard) and have enough room for 2 big luggage - All amenities are provided (slipper / hair dryer / cutlery / toiletries / 2 cubes of detergent). A bunch of towels to change also - Free wifi is working good - There is a 2-seat sofa in the room we booked and small table for all-purpose used - Washing machine is in good condition and you can use the dryer in the bathroom to dry your cloth overnight (there's a manual for everything in a room) - The reception waiting area is quite small and receptionist is not always there (they already told you upon booking that receptionist has to patrol the hotel by the time) - The elevator is small but in good condition - I recommend staying 2 persons only as it will be too packed for 3 people

    Good location and comfortable stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Standard Twin Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    We were a family of 4 with 2 rooms. We got rooms on 2 different floors and it was difficult moving between rooms. We were told the hotel was fully booked and nothing could be done. It would be great if the hotel could provide an option for this especially if it's a family. Also, the room on the ground floor opened into a wall and no light could get in. We asked for an iron but were told on all 3 days that it was unavailable. Maybe have a system in place so that all guests could avail of it.

    The rooms were comfortable and clean. The washing machine and microwave were very useful to have in the same room. The location is peaceful and good for subway and buses. There is a Life supermarket nearby as well as konbinis and restaurants.

    The kitchen could have had a few more items like plates and a knife.

    Great location with a bus stop just outside the door. Very clean. Small, but did the job! The Life supermarket nearby is great for supplies for catering in the accommodation.

    It had a kitchenette but no toaster (just had to cook the bread in the frying pan) and no plates

    The room was bigger than normal and was great having a kitchenette and washing machine, the bathroom fan setting could then be switched to a dryer. It was a 5/10 min walk from Shijo subway but we liked being in the quieter part. Plenty of eating options. Was just 2 stops from Kyoto

    They don’t have a flexibility for checking in but they do have an option to leave your luggage at reception if you arrive early.

    Simple. Clean. It’s located a walkable distance to a lot of local restaurants and spots and trendy touristy parts. It’s a quiet area but safe to walk anytime of day. Major bus lines run a few blocks away that will take you to the shrines and monuments. Staff is very nice when they are there. The space was perfect for a solo traveler or a couple with light luggage. They do have family rooms that are much bigger.

    Soundproofing isn't great, could hear the people in the room above walking around at night

    Big room with plenty of facilities, it's a fully stocked apartment essentially with washing machine, bathroom that turns into a dryer, stove with pots and pans if you want to cook for yourself. Comfy beds. Good location and a great price for what you get
