There’s no shops really near by. There’s also not many food options but the few that are near a very good. They might be rated lower then most but there flavor is great for the price. Your room doesn’t get cleaned everyday it’s every three days. Rooms our enough if you plan to stay out all the time. There’s a Lawson close by which is nice. The best part is there’s a station right outside so getting around isn’t an issue.

I stayed in a traditional Japanese Tatami room for the first time, it was a nice surprise! The buffet breakfast included was a very nice gesture. Staff were friendly and helpful - the lift somehow stops at the second floor (front desk) everytime regardless- not sure why!

Nice simple and easy

Good room, clean, good amenities. Only downside was there was 1 lift for the whole hotel so spent lots of time waiting around for it. But the location was great and check in and luggage store was easy.

Good location and value

Good location and right next to a train station. Many good restaurants nearby. Room was quite cozy, especially the bathroom. Clean, provided fresh towels daily. If you booked to include breakfast, it's quite ample. Amenities (toothbrush, sleeping gown, slippers, etc) provided. Would probably stay again. Staff was excellent.

Excellent overall for the price! Convenient, clean and quiet. Does the job. Fantastic breakfast service for only 1000 yen that was better than many restaurants we went to Only thing that bothered me was that there is only one very cramped elevator so you are often crammed inside of it or waiting for a while before it clears up. There are stairs however

Fine location only 15 min waking from Kyoto main station and very close to Gojo station taking us to other places in Kyoto with ease. The room was nothing special, seemed kind of standard for Japan. However, we had hoped for a little bit more modern facilities in our room and for the level of cleanliness of especially the bedding to be better. Staff was nice
