Our room was clean, organized and a great size! The beds were super comfy and we had great sleeps. The area is quiet and is close to a quaint river. We used their luggage delivery service as we arrived in Kyoto before check in. Their office is about a 5 minute walk from Kyoto station, and you can drop your luggage off and they will deliver it to your hotel. This allowed us to enjoy the day without our luggage before our check in! We would recommend this place to anyone staying in Kyoto. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/90bed9ff-4338-4c49-8578-7ff9f3897a7e-1759345352197.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d8478e9-f748-497e-ae7f-0c3cc070b8bb-1759345352181.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Janelle Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cameron Apr 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great staff, rooms were very clean and affordable.

I loved how the room included a washer for our dirty clothes. It was really convenient since our total trip to Japan was 15 days. The location of this hotel was also located near this really cute shopping street with a bunch of food places. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Nicole Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rafael Sep 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Our stay here over the few days was great. Room and bathroom were spacious and the ability to do laundry all in the room was excellent. Really short walk to the subway station and walking distance to major shrines, shopping, dining and attractions. Definitely would stay again and absolutely recommend. ##### Rafael Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vean Apr 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recomend The hotel is clean and very spacious. It is a 30 minutes walk from the main busy markets. We were able to leave our luggage before we were able to check in, that was very helpful. ##### Vean Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia Aug 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Well equipped and very clean facility for a family with elementary kids. Close to metro, grocery store, ice cream and small restaurants. Walkable to Gion and Kiyomizu-dera. ##### Cynthia Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mikhail Sep 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location is truly excellent — the metro is just 1 minute away, several bus lines are nearby, and it’s easy to walk to most central attractions. The room itself was spacious, though the furniture felt a bit dated. The washing machine was very handy during our 11-day stay, and the air conditioning worked well. The kitchen, however, was only minimally stocked. A real highlight was the Customer Service Center near JR Kyoto: we were able to check in there, leave our luggage, and have it delivered to the room well before the official check-in time. This service made arrival smooth and stress-free. The main downside was the poor sound insulation. If you’re a light sleeper, be sure to request Level 3\. We stayed on Level 2 and unfortunately had several noisy and unpleasant nights. ##### Mikhail Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Jan 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Central NY comes to Kyoto. Our stay was wonderful. Everybody was very welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect for what we wanted. Located in a quiet neighborhood with access to lots of shrines, temples, restaurants, subway, grocery store. The soaking tub and the washing machine were really nice amenities, and the heated toilet seat sold us on the whole deal.The only real issues were the security light kept going on and off because it was motion sense and there wasn’t any way to stop that so every time we moved it went on. Also the TV was in a very difficult situation to be able to use given the layout of the room. And lastly, there was no sitting area or small couch. But we did have two large beds in the room and otherwise everything was absolutely stunningly perfect. ##### Michael Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lidija & Zoran Jul 4, 2024 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Cleanliness Very conveniently located walking distance to the old town and the shopping area. It is a decent size apartment for Japanese standards. What we didn't like was the darkness of the apartment. There is only 1 window very close to the next building. The kitchen is fully equipped but there is not a table or a chairs to sit on. Also there are not tea/coffee bags provided. The apartment is not serviced but that was expected. It feels like Airbnb accommodation. ##### Lidija & Zoran Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Teck Seng Dec 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities the rooms are clean..but can do better with the beddings sheets ##### Teck Seng Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly Jun 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities This was a great hotel to stay in with a kitchenette and a washing machine in the room.
