Travelled with family
22 Sept 2025
Stayed here about a week with my brother and I must say this was a fantastic choice. Located less than 5 minutes away from the Gojo train station, it is right next to alot of amenities so you can walk or commute to wherever you need to get. It's also one stop away from Kyoto station, so long distance travel is alot easier.
Being an aparthotel it's larger than that standard Japanese hotel which was great. It had everything we needed and had plenty of space to feel comfortable.
A few notes:
-the combined washer/dryer is not super efficient at drying. I had to run the drying cycle multiple times, and it took upwards of five hours for it to completely dry. This is important if you plan to bring less clothes, but also the climate is very humid so we had to frequently come back to the apartment to take showers as we would be drenched in sweat (at one point I took a shower 4 times in a single day)
-Only some of the instructions are in English. The washer/dryer was only Japanese, and only part of the toilet instructions were in English. Make sure you have some sort of translation app.
-The bedrooms are quite small. For example, my room had a queen bed and had about a foot of clearance between it and the door.
-The hotel is tucked away in a residential area, so try not to make too much noise.
Minor quirks aside, none of this should detract from the fact that it was great choice to stay in Kyoto and would go there again.
