I can understand that the room are old and small due to the age. however, it will be good if the air ventilation in the room can be improved. the air is bad and also it seems that the toilet ventilation is not working well. After the shower or when we are back into the room, there will always be a musky smell.

Stains on bidet and no washer/dryer

Honestly loved my stay here except for two things that made it a bit inconvenient. There are no laundry facilities and you have to go to another hotel to wash your laundry which is a major inconvenience if you pack light and/or you are staying a while because that means you are going out daily to wash your laundry. The streets outside the hotel are pretty busy so I ended up just hand washing all my clothes and hanging them to dry. Secondly, the bidet had stains on it and was clearly not cleaned after the last person who stayed there. It was pretty gross. But the staff was SO kind and everything else was great! Very convenient location. I felt super safe and it is surprisingly quiet at night despite the location.

This is an old hotel and you can feel it when you use the washroom in your room. It's quite old compared to the other hotel I did in Tokyo and Kanazawa. The staff are all very nice and it's very easy to get around since it's right beside Kyoto station. I just wish the washroom were cleaner and newer.

Very good hotel under the Kyoto tower. They provide a 400 Yen coupon for the tower view; I even bought tickets for my friends with this coupon to see the beautiful Kyoto night view. There is a food court in the same building. There are many restaurants around the hotel. It is next to Kyoto station and it is very convenient if you do not have a car. Please note the check in counter is on the 8th floor. It did take me some time to find it.
