Overall this was good value. Rooms are small but well designed. Bed was a decent size with enough room for two pillows side by side (although unfortunately only one pillow is provided). Some people don't understand the concept of being quiet in the sleeping area despite the various signs advising them of it; whilst this isn't the hotel's fault, I think the curtains that separate the rooms serve very little use other than preventing others seeing into the room. In other similar hotels I've seen retractable screens used which are more effective at providing privacy and reducing noise level. Location is good; about two minutes walk to the nearest metro station, and about fifteen minutes walk to Gion. Breakfast was decent with some variety. There were plenty of showers and toilets so that I never had to wait to use them. I did however have to wait a considerable amount of time to use the clothes washing facilities. The one washer and one dryer really isn't enough.
Pro: Very close to a metro station. You can also walk to Nishiki market in 16 min. The staffs are very friendly. Generally clean.
Cons: when I stayed for two nights, it was 28 degree, it felt stuffy, not enough air flow. The shower is on the same floor as menโs, and on different floor from the sleep cabin, so not very convenient. They gave you cloths to wear in the hotel, but the material is polyester, rough, doesnโt breath, with poor air conditioning, just not pleasant to wear. You do need ear plugs, which the hotel provides, as no sound proof. Itโs just a curtain for privacy, the curtain is not even floor to ceiling.
I stayed at the first cabin area and found it spacious and well designed. Although I need to share bathroom with others, I feel that I have enough personal space to move around and properly store my stuff in the locker under the bed. The location is convenient as well, very close to lots of restaurants and shops. The staff was nice and helpful.
Few negative feedbacks, one is that you may need to keep your bigger luggage at the reception if you donโt feel safe leaving it unlocked in the room, since it probably wonโt fit into the locker; another one is that the quality of the mattress is so so, but good enough for a quick stay.
Overall I think the price and value are great.
