Location very good. Room and facilities adequate. Unfortunately there is no soundproofing on the windows, you hear every car and workman outside all night long, even on the 7th floor. If you value convenience above all else and don't mind sleeping with earplugs this hotel is for you.

You cannot beat the location of this hotel. The property isn't the newest and prices can sometimes get high during certain seasons and the month of arrival..., but if you can snag this place early, you'll have one of the most centrally located, transit accessible hotels in all of Kyoto.

The hotel is old but well maintained, with a great location. It can be a bit noisy during the day, but it’s quiet at night, which makes it easier to rest. The biggest downside is the Wi-Fi, which is quite poor.

Staff were lovely and have no complaints. However, the overall hotel is extremely outdated, feels like nothing has been updated since the 80s. Everything is yellow from smoking over the years, beds and pillows are uncomfortable, duvets have a bad texture.
