    I'd say that the main problem was laundry, there were only 2 washing machines for the whole hotel, just imagine an 8 floors hotel with 10+ rooms on each and only 2 washing machines for the whole.

    The biggest plus of this hotel is the staff and the location. The staff was helpful and always friendly, even though there sometimes could be some language barrier issues, they were easily solved with translation applications. The room was clean, there was enough space for me and my wife, but if you bring up more than 1 suitcase it might be a problem.

    The location was great. Not far from the metro. Staff were friendly and professional. The laundry facilities downstairs were an added bonus. Lawsons (grocery store) just around the corner. Thank you. ☺️

    Room is small but manageable if you have got lots of luggage. Step into the bathroom and the bath/ shower was quite high. Breakfast is traditional Japanese that might not suit all guests.

    Great location near station. Very friendly staff. Breakfast was very tasty but was traditional Japanese which might not suit some guests.

    I was trying to borrow an international plug for their port since they dont have any international plug in the room. they didnt have any. maybe this could be a point of improvement but they did their best everytime you ask them about certain questions or concerns.

    You have all the things you need. they also speak in english. its a good spot also to see the kyoto tower. check out was surprisingly impressive.

    really not much to complain about only nit picking would be: only 1 elevator which means during peak times can be slow. Bathroom in our room had a small step to get into the room - which was at best a tiny inconvenience but something to note. Overall we had a great stay.

    - Super Close to Kyoto Station which is a central location so great for getting around / shopping / dining. - Close to several combinis - Staff super friendly and very helpful - Rooms comfortable, small mini fridge for drinks. - Bed/pillows comfortable

    The hotel is in a fantastic location, close to the train station and bus routes. I found the room to be slightly larger than most standard APA hotels for a solo traveller. As per the APA standard I enjoy when visiting Japan, the room was clean and caters for the needs of the traveller.

    The room was too small to have any place for luggage. Not a big deal but still. The bed could be a bit smaller and it would solve this smal inconvinient.

    The locations is so near near to Kyoto Station, Kyoto Tower and shops that it is very convenient. The staff was nice and helpfull. The bathrrom was very good and comfty.
