It was fine. Price Ok - Convenient area.
Older hotel, but it was clean and comfortable.
I didn’t really get a great vibe walking into the hotel. It wasn’t bad, but it’s a depressing empty lobby area. Kids behind the counter didn’t really seem to be thrilled.
Beds are fine, and comfortable.
The staff wasn’t overly friendly or attentive.
Convenient location.

Clean, efficient hotel in a great area - close to Gion, Nishiki Market and a quick train ride from Kyoto station. It was a great place to stay while exploring Kyoto for a few days. Check in was quick and easy, the staff were lovely and helpful. Luggage forwarding was available and the front desk staff took care of everything.Toiletries were available in the lobby to take to the room and there was complimentary ice cream snacks. The room was a typical Japan hotel size, small but with everything needed including a small fridge. Sound carried well from room to room so if you are a light sleeper you may want to use earplugs, it wasn’t too bad though. Would recommend a stay here, the surrounding area had tons of food and shop options and it’s very close to a train station for getting around easily.
