Tiny, but convenient.

The room is tiny, as described. The office chair was very uncomfortable. So, it you plan to work, this is not your place! Paper cups for hot drinks is a thumbs down. Otherwise, quiet, clean, and super convenient to night life, restaurants, and Kyoto station.

The staff was not very accommodating for our check in. Bathroom layout is terrible. Can hardly fit to use the restroom with the door closed. It is a great location but next time I’ll choose somewhere else.

The room was small, but perfect to have a place to leave your bags and sleep in. If you're outside being a tourist for majority of your stay. I'd recommend. If you plan on spending time in your room, I'd recommend a bigger location.
