    Most japanese hotels provided pyjamas but this one did not. Bathroom was also very small (especially for a tall/bigger person).

    Good location, walking distance from station, lots of restaurants close by and walking distance to Gion old town area.

    The hotel and laundry facilities are pretty old, especially the dryer, no microwave in the room, only one iron for the whole hotel

    The location is perfect, in the middle of Gion, giving an opportunity to explore the district in the evening / night with its charming alleys without crowd

    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.
