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 ### 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Balaji Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rooms are very small but the facilities makeup for that. You get breakfast included in the price which is a very good deal for the price. There is a Lawson right near the entrance for quick shopping. Kyoto station is a good 20 minutes walk. ##### Balaji Stayed 3 nights in Apr 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 ### 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 #### Ann Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Fully booked and great value for the price charged. Not a 5 star hotel but for the price it is extremely great. Free breakfast and dinner has tiny portions but great flavours. Introduced me to my new favourite condiments. I am a healthy eater so salad and vegetables were all you can eat and pleantiful. The only thing I did not like was all vegetables were cold but I simply soaked them in hot water I. The bowl and drained it a few times. Seating is tight but works. If you are picky you will complain about something but the same can be said no matter where you stay. Our bathroom was a bit uriny smelling but the Japanese toilet seat was great. Rooms in Japan are tight and small and this is no exception. These Japanese rooms make cruise ship rooms feel big. Anyway I would recommend this place and would stay again ##### Ann Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### shazeeyana Oct 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly staffs.

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 ### 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 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alfredo Sep 26, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities There was a hair on the restroom floor when I got to the room.
