Bus stops where steps from hotel entrance. Staff was helpful and friendly; they also spoke English. I would definitely stay here, when I return to Kyoto. ##### Mary Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Weilin Dec 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean hotel. Good location. Ok free dinner and breakfast which are miles better than most Hampton Inns (if you travel to US you know what I mean). Cleanliness would be 9 compared to Hampton Inn which would be around 6 (I am generous here). I spent about 120-150 nights in hotels world wide each year so I know a little. The only downside is the small space of the rooms. Then again, you can pay 4x or more and stay in Hilton’s or Marriott (I am top tier at both). ##### Weilin Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katsunori Aug 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A large bath made me relax.A free supper and a free breakfast made me stuffed.Hotel mans are polite. ##### Katsunori Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Monica Jun 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Free breakfast and dinner was great.

Jo complaining. Walk distances to Kyoto station. Dinner and breakfast are including that I didn’t know. Good to go back sleep and travel to use. ##### Shinobu Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### K Jun 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Pretty small rooms. Quiet and reasonably clean. We are happy with their free breakfast, supper and public hot spring service, but their bed wasn't really comfortable though. It's better than Good but not yet Excellent. Will recommend to couples who want to spend less on travel for a ok recommendation. ##### K Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Oct 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is great for the price. My booking came with breakfast and dinner included. The food was pretty good. Breakfast is buffet and dinner is a choice of two set menus, plus a salad bar. The room I had was ok. I know people say the rooms are small but I found it fine. A double bed, sofa, table for TV etc. the bathroom was a bit small but it was fine. The hallways leading from the lift to the rooms are open (to a certain degree) there is a central open core running up through the building which is open but in October it was fine. It might be cold in the winter. All in all I had a nice stay here and would stay here again. ##### Paul Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Wendi Sep 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All of the staff we encountered were great! The room and bathroom were so small it makes a cruise ship cabin seem big. We knew it would not be roomy ahead and was ok. The beds were really hard though. The bathroom has a high step and to get in the tub was extremely difficult for someone with arthritis. Dinner and breakfast were provided. We both really liked the dinner. Neither of us cared for the breakfast. They both say they end at 9:00, but the staff closes the area 30 minutes early. The area was ok. Not much around it. If you struggle with steps and a hard bed, this is not it. If that’s not an issue for you, it’s a good price! The staff truly were so kind. ##### Wendi Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danel Jan 28, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent and affordable ##### Danel Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zhuofang Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great facility with a restaurant ##### Zhuofang Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Derek Aug 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean and comfortable.

Clean room and friendly staff along with free breakfast as well as dinner. The only thing is that it’s a bit far from Kyoto station so location wise, the universal hotels in other Japanese cities (Hiroshima, Okayama, etc) provide a better experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthias Oct 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort K.a. ##### Matthias Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Zola Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice. ##### Zola Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### かなみ Aug 13, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness good ##### かなみ Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Newton Jul 4, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Old property, bad odor, old furniture. ##### Newton Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Georgia Jun 25, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I was very suprised to find that the hotel was open to the elements with no proper roof when you walk in the hallways for your room.
