Stayed 3 nights. Rooms are very small which is common in Japan. On 2nd day the toilet started stinking, it got worse during night. After complaining to the front desk technician were called to fix the issue on 3rd day. On check out requested to have refund for 1 night front desk Manager didn't cooperte and acted for not understanding English. After sometime he informed they don't do refunds and suggested to contact booking company Expedia for refund. Haven't received any credit from Expedia yet.

Hotel was in a good location, walkable to train stations and shopping. I would recommend getting a room on the opposite to the road as the windows were thin and the traffic was loud.

Hotel was lovely. Staff very friendly. Used the public bath which was incredibly relaxing. Breakfast was a good combination of Asian and western so something for everyone. Annoying we had to pay extra for the children for breakfast despite clearly booking the room for four. Don't quite understand why adults got it free but not children. Good location, near the shops.

In all, it was a nice hotel. Clean with nice little gym and large communal bath. The rooms had their own showers, so if you were not comfortable with the bath, no worries. It's proximity to metro, shrines and temple's, and shopping was perfect and the staff were friendly always greeting you with a smile. The only issue I had was the pillows. They have these strips of loose beads inside and were not comfortable at all. I asked the front desk if they had any different pillows, but said no and offered me another pillow. It did not help one bit. I ended up using the blanket as a pillow before getting any real sleep.

Overall, I satisfied with the overall conditions. Good service at the reception and restaurant. But the room cleaning needs to be improved. As per the receptionist advised when I was checking in the hotel, I made requests for daily room cleaning. The request was ignored.

The rooms were nice and a good size, however the see-through bathroom door lacked privacy. The breakfast was disappointing and the lobby often smelled of smoke which wasn’t very pleasant while eating a meal. Also expected the gym to be included. The location was great and the overall size of the room was pleasant.

Fine hotel. Not that much floor spacing, but nevertheless fine since it will encourage you more to go out and explore Kyoto. Good breakfast. Coffeemachine was not working.... So that have been nice with a latte for breakfast. You have to pay extra for using the fitness - and you cannot have tattoos if you'd like to use the onsen. Which was kind of a bummer for me, since i booked this hotel because of the gym and onsen..
