    Staff was nice . Location is perfect. They kept our luggages for free once we checked out but we still had a day to enjoy the city. Thank you

    The pajamas are not readily available in the room. I would've preferred that it was in the room, not something to ask for.

    Price was affordable due to the long stay. Not so many facilities, though. But the staff was still kind and helpful. Adequate enough if you're in a tight budget. All necessities required are available.

    The room was a little bit smelly (of dust), just like the entire fourth floor of the hotel.

    The staff was nice and helpful. The Inn was very close to the main attractions of the city center. Also close to train stations and bus stops. Restaruants and supermarkets were close as well.

    It was humid and hot if the air conditioning wasn’t on. The air conditioning was set to cooling and couldn’t change to different mode. When it was on it was blowing over the bed which was a bit uncomfortable and annoying.

    The room was clean with a lot of towels. Nice location in Gion, near metro station. Free tea and toiletries. There is a room with washers, dryers, microwave and iron in the hotel.

    Nothing.

    Absolutely excellent location in Kyoto. Fantastic value for such a nice room near everything. The room was clean and had plenty of space. Even though it was a typically, smallish room it never felt cramped. I also thought the hotel was pretty quiet considering it’s close to a main road. A quick walk gets you to the closest train station. The staff were super helpful and very nice.

    Please service your dryers. They take enormous amounts of time to dry even the smallest loads of wet clothes and guzzle the 100 yen coins. Also, not much you can do about this, but the baths/showers have got to be about the narrowest I have ever experienced! Not so good for wide-shouldered folk!!

    Amazing location, good value, has facilities for washing & drying. Basic no frills hotel with rooms that are clean but small. Staff are friendly and helpful.

    The Taxi drivers don’t know it. There is a bigger hotel very close by which the ones we took did know, so we got dropped off there.

    Excellent location. Small but adequate sized room. Very clean. Excellent bathroom. Nice entry with fabric in frames. Friendly helpful staff. Near restaurant. Easy to walk to subway Pontocho Alley and Gion

    None. My expectations were met.

    Excellent location. It's at Gion but still near Kawaramachi which provides visitors a lot of options for sightseeing, food and shopping. It's very basic, but comfy and clean. I like how rooms have separate toilets and showers.

    However, I might add that the room is pretty little.

    The location is fantastic; you can stroll to Kiyomizu-dera from Kenninji Temple, Yasaka Kōshin-dō/Hōkan-ji, and Sannenzaka. You can walk to Heian Shrine/Konkai Kōmyō-ji along Kamo River, Takase, or Shinbashi-dori. You can stroll to Sanjo Station, which is particularly beneficial for Biwa and Mii-dera.

    Our room was small and the bathroom - even smaller. It was difficult for three people to move around or open suitcases. For some reason, the room was also very humid and the clothes/towels were constantly moist.

    The location is excellent - right in the heart of Gion, close to various transportation options and tourist attractions. The staff is beyond lovely and friendly, with a command of English (easy to communicate). The common room features vending machines, and ironing board with an iron, a microwave. There are plenty of umbrellas for guests to use, if needed. There is a fridge, a kettle and a tv set in the room. The price was very good, given the location.
