Location is okay. A bit of a walk to the main area and takes about the same amount of time by bus. No bowls provided in apartment, which we would have liked.

Perfect for a 5-night stay. We were able to explore Kyoto and take day trips, unwind in our room and then go out again at night. In-room laundry is awesome.

Quaint and comfortable place to stay. It felt more like an apartment than a hotel, which I really liked. Being able to do laundry during my trip was a big plus. Great location—close to trains and all the main attractions in Kyoto.

We really enjoyed our stay here while visiting Kyoto. The hotel concierge were very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious enough for two people and I liked that we had a little kitchen area as well as a washer. Train station was nearby and location of hotel itself was central to a lot of the touristy spots we were visiting. Added bonus of having a Yamato luggage service directly across from the hotel (which I did not find out until right before our trip)!! Would definitely stay again when visiting Kyoto!

This hotel was perfect for our stay. The room was clean and came with a kitchenette and washing machine w/ 2 soap pods. The bathroom was more roomy than the other hotels we’ve stayed at. The room temp was adjustable and able to keep up with our needs. The bed and bedding were comfortable providing a good nights sleep. It was close to restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend.

The staff was helpful with holding our bags prior to check in, and even brought hem to our room for us. The room itself was a bit tight for four, and they had a shelf at forehead height in the walkway area that could have been a bad head bump if you get up in the night to use the bathroom.

Check in at office is far from accommodation. Google map directs you to an alley around the back of office, which is actually on the main road. They manage many Sakura premises. If checking in at the Hotel, make sure you have the right address. Mini bus dropped us at accommodation, this service is drop-off only. Other guests were waiting in foyer on our arrival, but they were booked in to another Sakura premises. On-site staff are only there at very limited times. We booked a family room, which was a good size and included bathroom with bath and shower, bidet toilet, washing machine and drying rack, as well as kitchenette with hot plate, microwave, kettle and small fridge. No large plates and no bowls provided, only cups, glasses and very small plates. No toaster. Dark hairs on floor of bathroom, husband is bald and I have fair hair. Cleaning of rooms is not provided during your stay. Small closet and another hanging area. Only Japanese channels on TV with no subtitles. Slippers were provided as outside footwear not permitted in room. They provide an instruction leaflet for equipment. It would be helpful if they also provide translation for this leaflet. This Hotel is walking distance to shopping and transport, bus or train.

The apartment was very good, well located, and in a good building. Cons: check in is in another location, and there is no room service (cleaning the room) during the days that we were there. We were not able to activate the electric stove. I suggest to include instructions only for the electric stove. Overall, it is a great place, and the staff at the central location very helpful and kind. thanks
