Quite area, close to the old kyoto neighborhoud. Staff were very nice and helpful. Landry machine was quite confusing. And the hotel still didn't have luggage transfer system at the time, so if thats an issue, check with them before.But overall had a great stay. ##### Maryam Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lori Oct 11, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room could have been cleaner because I found a few Long black hairs which are not mine.

However, if you are like my husband and I and run hot, this is not the place. The whole air conditioning unit was connected, so we were not able to adjust the temperature. The heater was on and we are from Wisconsin, so did not need the heater. Thank goodness we came in November, and it was colder at night so we kept the window open which helped. We were also told by staff that we could set up luggage transport at the hotel as long as it was after 8am. We did laundry and brought our luggage to the front desk later in the afternoon. Staff had changed and they told us they actually don’t do luggage transport, that we had to take it to a near by convenience store which was 5 mins walking away. We took it and the lady working there was not accepting luggage’s for transfer. We had to walk back to the hotel, where they mentioned this had never happened before and told us to take it to another convenience store 7 minutes away walking. Thankfully they did accept it, but they had already completed the pick up for the day. So instead of receiving our luggage the next day at our next hotel, we will get it in two days. ##### Andrea Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Todd May 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fun artsy hotel in a quiet neighborhood. ❤️ This is a super fun, artsy and unique hotel in a quiet residential neighborhood in Kyoto. We stayed in the “game otaku” room with a cozy swing chair. The room was quite large by Japanese standards (queen size bed & a loft with room for 3 futons). It was very comfortable for our family of 3 (parents & teenager). We enjoyed interacting with the friendly & helpful international staff. The lobby has a huge Manga library (including some in English), and some fun retro game systems. The location is just a few blocks from the subway & several bus lines, which made it easy to go anywhere in Kyoto. Overall, this hotel was a fantastic home base for our visit to Kyoto. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity ever arose. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79ca825e-7a8f-4e29-a5b3-15c1d147d809-1748492832072.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Todd Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Samuel Oct 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The hotel is in a great location in Kyoto. The staff were great - friendly and very helpful. The rooms and whole hotel were very clean and had plenty of amenities in good working order - laundry, umbrellas, drinks station (tea is free but a shame you have to pay for coffee), microwave + toaster. The hotel currently lacks a luggage forwarding service which would have been handy, and doesn't serve breakfast. The downside was that the room was a lot smaller than it appeared on the pictures. I am 6"2 and there were parts of the room I couldn't stand up in due to the sloping roof. I had to hunch forward to brush my teeth due to the location and it meant none of the mirrors were any use for getting ready. Both me and my wife (who is not as tall) hit our heads at some point. Despite this, overall we enjoyed our stay and despite lacking a few things, the staff are great and the hotel seemed well-run. ##### Samuel Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yuki Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities お寺が近くて良かった ##### Yuki Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ?
