    Overall I enjoyed my stay very much.

    Breakfast was generally good, but I would like to have some real bread and some butter (no margerine)

    According to my wish I got a (very) quiet room - thank you! The free choice of (additional) pillows. Everything was very clean.

    Our room was a bit cramped for our 2 medium size luggage, but we made it work. Not bad for a Japan room.

    The location was perfect, right across the street from the station. We were able to go to all places by jumping on the train or subways. I enjoyed using their public bath when my feet and legs were tired from walking uphill at the Tori gates and Monkey park. They gave us complimentary traditional Japanese socks. Fresh towels and mineral water bottles everyday. 7/11 and Family Mart was close by also.

    Hotel conveniently situated right across from Kyoto Station, perfect spot! Amenities are all provided in the lobby and room. The accommodation was extremely clean, the room was slightly tight with the bed, but good value for money nonetheless.

    The outside sign was hard to see, the front door looks like a wall, not a door- walked past it twice before finding it. Almost like they don’t want you to notice it

    Right across the street from Kyoto station- everything you could want nearby. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Comfy bed

    As am American, I'm used to large bathroom facilities. These bathrooms are like cruise shop bathrooms and are much to small for my liking, but this is the norm in japan. This is not a negative, just a personal preference.

    The staff was amazing and super friendly! They were able to answer questions quickly and helped with local options for food, parking and attractions.

    The room was tiny, but it was enough for 2 people. Not for 2 large bags anymore. Beds comfortable. I appreciate the cleanliness of the room and the location, right next to the main station, but at the same time there was not that much noise. The spa was perfect. It was nice that various extras were available for guests.

    Good range and quantity of food and beverages. Room comfortable, a little small but not a problem. Cleaning very good. Staff friendly and helpful. Location very close to railway station so very convenient. Also used the Hotel service of forwarding your luggage to the next hotel, excellent service. Thank you to the staff

    We did not watch the tv as most of the channels were Japanese. They offer movies but need to pay for every watch.

    I really like the hotel location!! nearest to the nearest to train station is what i want to call it. You just walk across from the station and that's it! You're already at your hotel. even though it's near to the main street and train station, noise is very minimal. You can still sleep and relax during your stay. Free coffee and the luggage locker! We were able to walk around the area before our next scheduled trip and leave our luggage even we already checked out!

    Most Americans don’t know they can’t use the public bath if they have tattoos and it’s not stated anywhere in facilities (I was not offended by it but felt it should have been stated ahead of time)

    Very clean, great location
