    there was a lot of noise. my room was right next to a stairwell i think and the slamming door actually scared me at times. there are only two elevators and they were very slow. i was on the top floor and waited for the elevator for 7 minutes only for it to be full.

    the check in process was quick and simple. the bed was comfortable and the pillow too. the bathroom was very clean and well laid out. here is one more sentence tk get me into the green bar here on booking dot com.

    Bathrooms needs to be clean more specially the toilet. The beds were not too comfy for my back. The windows are blurred and you can open them just a bit. So, it feels very claustrophobic some times. If you want to use the laundry machine it is a race and your clothes does not come out dry after 2 hours.

    Staff was great and helpful. The room was confortable for two people. Location was spot on, lots of restaurants and markets near by. Very easy to navigate the area, walkable to major attractions and the bus stops is with in 2 minutes walk.

    A couple of staff didn’t really explain directions very well to some of the local sites

    Locality, central to everything and easy to get to from the Station . Room was very comfortable. Good value for money. I sent an email before I arrived asking best station and directions from Tokyo station and the staff answered very quickly with great directions.

    The room we had was quite compact, there wasn't much space to hang clothes or to put our bags, so we had to put them on the floor, taking up what little floor space there was. You probably wouldn't want to stay here with a big suitcase.

    The hotel is in a good location, a few minutes walk from the metro and within walking distance of lots of places. It was clean and served it's purpose. For what we paid it was really good value for money.

    Could not get a better location foe access to everything you want to see in Kyoto. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Can not be faulted.

    The rooms looked a little old and run down, but other than the aesthetic of it we had no issues.

    Very affordable and in a nice location. Amenities are a little bit lacking, but if you just want a quiet and peaceful place to go to sleep after a day out touristing this hotel is a pretty solid choice.

    Little noisy due to the location right next to the street, but at least you can open the window a bit.

    Very good English skills of the staff and very helpful, good luggage storage, convenience stores right next to it and walking distance to a lot of restaurants (try the Tanmen place 50m on the left, delicious!). Stylish lobby and rooms are okay sized for Japanese standards. Unlike other places they weren‘t adamant about checking-in time and gave us the room a little earlier. Comfy beds.

    It can be a little far from the more lively Kawaramachi area but we did enjoy the nice walk at night when the weather was chilly. The lifts can be a bit slow at times but the negative points are really minor in my opinion.

    The rooms were clean and spacious. The bathroom was bigger than your average Japanese hotel bathroom too. Good number of convenience stores nearby as well as two 24h supermarkets. We stayed at a few hotels throughout Kansai during this trip and this was the best of them all.

    - The mattes were not comfortable, not even. I was about to fall down from the bed few times during the night. The bed is two small for accommodating two people.

    - it was clean and in a good location. The staff were friendly.

    Good size room (all rooms relatively small in Japan). Location very good just a few minutes walk from an underground station and around 20-30 minutes walk to most of the main sights. Staff were friendly and helpful and we were able to leave our luggage there on the last day after checking out.

    The air conditioner was working but it takes some time to blow the correct air (cold or hot). The air flow is very low in my opinion but staff told me every rooms was the same.

    The hotel is in a very good location, near everything! So very easy to get something to eat at anytime. Many restaurants around the hotel and if you walk a bit, you can find many more. The room was okay clean but can be improved.
