Very good service and provision of clean towels etc, but room a bit small. Would be good if an iron was available. ##### Gillian Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Pei Jun 23, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient Location was near the central area, very convenient. ##### Pei Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andres Ivan Nov 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place was great. Th only suggestion for prospective customers especially from countries where smoking in hotel rooms is not ok is to make sure that they do not book a smokers room by accident. ##### Andres Ivan Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything was clean and comfortable for such a low price. The room was small, but what can one expect in Japan. The staff made extra effort to get a taxi for us after we checked out. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Unmesh Jun 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel is good but Difficult Check in Check in is automated / self check in so it is quick process but could be messy as I didn’t receive the room number, passcode, etc. had to call the reception guys sitting somewhere in Kyoto using the mobile phone available in the reception desk. Other than that hotel room and stay and good and convenient. ##### Unmesh Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark May 23, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice and affordable hotel that's hard to find Location difficult to find without gps on your phone with data. Hotel was nice, but never received check in code so couldn't get in to the building without calling. Room was large for Japanese standards. No frills, 2 blocks from bus station. Not much in the area, but a 30 minute walk from everything that matters. ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What I liked: rooms were comfortable and clean, the site had complementary washers and dryers, staff was friendly What I didn’t like: staff was hard to find, never received an email with the code to get into the building so I had to use the help line. Overall I would stay here again, the area is nice and it was a good hotel ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 23, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness Promised items were not provided. The listing in Expedia wasn’t up-to-date as told by receptionist. So what you see is not what you get. The address listed on Expedia isn’t easily searchable on Google maps - easy to get lost. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### OKAN Jun 14, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Horrible Check-in We got very upset because we came to this hotel at 23.30 and we waited until 01.00 a.m. to make checkin. (1hours 30 minutes) . Horrible. There is nobody at the reception for this reason we didn't enter to the hotel. The phone outside nobody answere for a longtime then a guy opened the phone but he was not serious and as we were very tired we waited too much for checkin. be carefull to choose this hotel outside the recepitiom hours. You can be stay out of the hotel. ##### OKAN Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jacinto Jul 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service So bad experience, I didn’t receive any email before I arrived and there was no one at the front office. I have tried to call them for 30 mins and there was no one answering the phone. Finally they answered the phone to let me check in. There was a couple coming after me and they happened the same thing, they tried calling them for an hour, NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE. ##### Jacinto Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Norman Apr 10, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice modern hotel, with some minor negatives. Quite new hotel. Nicely appointed room. Unlike some of the Grand Japaning hotels in Kyoto, this one has a receptionist there every day -- from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM. That's good because we never received the email that we were supposed to receive from the hotel's owners that gave us an entry code to get into the lobby to register. Nice that they have free washers and dryers and even free laundry detergent to use in the machine. Negatives: Directions for washer and dryer are only in Japanese; fortunately the receptionist speaks fluent English and was able to help us push the right buttons. Also, the dryer takes a very long time to dry clothes -- took about 1.5 hours to dry my load which included blue jeans. Rooms are quite small -- not much room to lay out suitcases. But there is lots of room under the wester-style beds to store luggage. Bathroom was adequate size, including a full-size sink, unlike some of the Grand Japaning hotels in Kyoto. Despite the minor negatives, I would stay here again. ##### Norman Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Sep 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service No-staff model not easy to work through and NOT mentioned on the booking site or in confirmation docs. I never received the email with check-in information, a problem I’ve read in other reviews also. It was also necessary to contact (via the “help” phone outside the front entrance - which only connected to someone at a remote location) to get housekeeping performed. It turns our housekeeping is only done every 3rd day, which is acceptable if you are expecting it - but they don’t say which day it will be. In my case, housekeeping was only done twice in 9 days and included getting fresh towels. Not good. The place was good but the advance and ongoing communications were really inadequate. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 1, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant Stay despite Hiccups This is a brand new hotel, location not easy to find(in a small lane), advise guests to ask staff at subway station for direction to get there. There was some hiccups upon chk-in due to high occupancy n that resulted in us not receiving the code via our email. However, there are staff there till 9pm to assist you through the chk-in. The reason we choose this Japaning hotel is becuz on its official site, it said tt it provides a Handy smartphone for guest to bring it out with you. This will ease language barrier for us to find our way using this Handy. However, to our disappointment, it wasn’t provided at all aft speaking long to someone on the phone even with our request to “borrow” one fm other Japaning hotels chain as we ve excluded data router for our trip becuz of supposed “Handy”. We didn’t find the staff helpful as there are plentiful of Japaning Hotels throughout Kyoto and for the rest of days in Kyoto, we tried hard to find our way around! Nevertheless, we must say tt the staff at the counter are genuinely helpful, trying to guide us the way to our sightseeing spots. We like their sincerity and this makes our trip pleasant. Laundry is free n this is a great plus point for travelers. I would recommend this hotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JAEHYEOK Oct 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 시설, 객실, 직원, 하나도 빠짐없이 다 완벽했습니다 가와라마치가 도보로 좀 멀긴하지만 오미야역이 근처에 있어서 문제될게 없었어요 ##### JAEHYEOK Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meguru Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 祇園祭で他のホテルの価格が高騰している中、リーズナブルの宿代でした。 ##### Meguru Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gabriel Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Buen hotel aunque con puntos a mejorar Hotel moderno y acogedor ubicado en una zona muy tranquila y bien conectada con transporte público. La zona dispone de supermercados cercanos al hotel que agradecimos mucho tener a mano. El personal agradable. Las instalaciones por lo general correctas, las habitaciones son limpias y acogedoras pero no estuvimos todo lo cómodos que en un principio esperamos ya que los colchones eran muy duros e incómodos, además en las ventanas no había una cortina que impida que entre la luz y nos despertaba al amanecer, lo cual interrumpía el descanso, pero por lo demás es correcto. ##### Gabriel Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### MAYUMI Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness とても綺麗な部屋でした 駅も近く便利な場所です ##### MAYUMI Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kenichi May 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 清潔なホテルでした。 泊まるだからなら、十分てした。 ##### Kenichi Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Naomi Dec 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 場所が分かりづらかったが、スタッフの方は皆さん親切でした ##### Naomi Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HIROKO Nov 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities フロントの対応も大変よく、部屋も清潔で綺麗でした。 またリピートしたいです。 ##### HIROKO Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Gran Ms Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Gran-Ms-Kyoto.h8962891.Hotel-Information) > > [Cross Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-CROSS-HOTEL-KYOTO.h27026975.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Canvas-Kyoto-Nijo.h59440545.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Kyoto.h1406680.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h7281376.Hotel-Information) > > [Randor Residential Hotel Kyoto Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Randor-Residential-Hotel-Kyoto-Suites.h42442448.Hotel-Information) > > [Rihga Gran Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-GRAN-KYOTO.h38953457.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel M’s Plus Shijo - Omiya](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Ms-Plus-Shijo-Omiya.h16621109.Hotel-Information) > > [Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Miyako-Hotel-Kyoto-Hachijo.h26999.Hotel-Information) > > [Suiran, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Suiran.h10345050.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-MUSSE-Kyotoshijokawaramachi-Meitetsu.h52041999.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hyatt Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Park-Hyatt-Kyoto.h37609460.Hotel-Information) > > [Momijiya Bekkan Kawanoiori](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Momijiya-Bekkan-Kawanoiori.h15431581.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Granbell Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Granbell-Hotel.h18414583.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Mitsui-Kyoto.h57209082.Hotel-Information) > > [hotel MONday Kyoto Karasuma Nijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-MONday-Kyoto-Karasuma-Dori.h39192199.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA ](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Vischio-Kyoto-By-GRANVIA.h30990875.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The M’s Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Ms-Kyoto.h61628354.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Brighton Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Brighton-Hotel.h919.Hotel-Information) > > [nol kyoto sanjo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nol-Kyoto-Sanjo.h45003003.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-Kyoto.h45895767.Hotel-Information) > > [SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-SOLARIA-Nishitetsu-Hotel-Kyoto-Premier.h17040479.Hotel-Information) > > [Noku Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Noku-Kyoto.h12714915.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL M’s EST KYOTO STATION SOUTH](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-Ms-EST-KYOTO-STATION-SOUTH.h23513455.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo.h4538458.Hotel-Information) > > [Sakura Terrace The Gallery](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Sakura-Terrace-The-Gallery.h9795712.Hotel-Information) > > [Miru Kyoto Nishiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Miru-Kyoto-Nishiki.h24201327.Hotel-Information)
