I had hoped for an authentic stay in Kyoto, but this hotel disappointed. Extremely noisy with motorbikes at night, staff were rude and cold towards my family and I and we did not feel welcomed at all. The staff in the hotel shop followed us around and then checked over all the areas we had looked at, which showed they did not think we'll of foreigners. We had a similar terrible experience at breakfast, we were offered a children's plate etc for my son, then the receptionist came in, spoke to the breakfast staff in Japanese and they took the plate back, even though the children's breakfast was free. Terrible terrible experience, rude and cold staff, overseas visitors do not book!

The hotel is located close to Jujo station which is a quieter area, just 2 metro stops away from Kyoto station. There is bus stop close by the hotel as well. Not many shops or restaurants around the area but I like the tranquility. The room is very spacious by Japanese standard. The public bath is nice and the cost of laundry is very reasonable.

The area around the hotel is very peaceful and quiet, which made it very easy to fall asleep during the night. The facilities in the hotel are top notch, offering a public onsen and an ice cube making machine. The subway is a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Customer service is also very good. There is no room service unless you specifically request it. It is also further away from transport option s, and is quite far from shopping areas.

Love the location the staff was great, could use more English lessons but very decent respectful people. Enjoyed using the Onsen and my shower and bathtub were awesome. That was my first double room in Japan and it will now set the standard for comfort for my next trip. Oh, and I’m a big fan at the Japanese toilet arigato gozaimasu 🙏

This is a great affordable option in Kyoto. Steps away from the K line subway and two stops from Kyoto Station. It has an onsite onsen which was very clean and comfortable. The beds are very comfortable. The rooms are clean and comfortable as well. There are no English language options on TV. The breakfast buffet was OK, but very crowded right at opening. For the price, this is a terrific place to stay.
