I would definitely recommend this hotel. The staff speaks great English, and is very polite and helpful. I wish I stayed longer to enjoy more of the amenities as they have so many great features. Including comfortable beds! And rooms that are decent sized for 2 people. Overall I truly enjoyed my stay and will try to stay here again the next time I visit Kyoto.

Good location near Kyoto's old town. The staff was very nice and helpful, and we enjoyed the cozy lobby with a manga library and an 8-bit retro Nintendo console. We stayed in japanese styled rooms with tatami floors, which was nice but I'll admit I would have preferred a somewhat thicker matress :D. We made use of the coin operated washing machines, which was great for us, and super easy to operate. Just be aware that the hotel doesn't offer any breakfast. There are several options close by though, which the staff can help you out finding.
