    • Hollywood Twin Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The window in the room was with translucent glass and I felt there is not enough light in the room. There was no fridge in the room.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful design and very nice common space with the balcony. Great location. Good value for money. Check out at 11 am (for the first time guests as I understood).

    The beds are quite hard, the washing machine/dryer situation is frustrating when other guests don’t wait around for their washing, and the lack of fridge in rooms makes it difficult.

    The decoration was lovely, and the lounge was nice.

    Our Hollywood Deluxe double room was otherwise cramped with the two beds occupying most of the space. Need to crawl awkwardly onto the beds. Needed to descend to lobby lounge to use our laptops comfortably.

    In suite bathroom & toilet. Very friendly Japanese & foreign staff, who go out of the way to be helpful. For example, they loaned two extension strips for our multiple devices. The hotel is very well located with respect to Kyoto Station, subways, & key bus station. Also, many attractions, such as Gion, National Museum, several temples, restaurants, are within walking distance. Complimentary breakfast offers coffee, tea, buns, hot water, microwave, etc. Easy self-service for temporary luggage storage. Large lounge area in the third-floor lobby to relax, eat, & meet guests from all over the world. We stayed here for 7 days total with a one-day break between the 4th & 5th days due to an excursion.

    The laundry wasn't ideal. Many people use it, and the dryer was inefficient. It made it slow to dry our clothes and made other people wait longer for example 3 hours to wash and dry to small loads.

    Loved the space and atmosphere. Unique, clean and spacious. Would definitely come back here again!

    The only thing that I didn’t like was the laundry situation, they only had 3 washer and 3 dryer - while the clothes automatically washed for 30 min it took a lot longer then an hour to completely dry the clothes.

    Hotel was really pleasant, in a good location with a 7/11 directly downstairs. The room itself was quite was cute - exactly as displayed in the photo. The environment was really nice and relaxing especially for tourist, the open space in the lounge was really nice and they offered free hot & cold water, as well amenities.

    Other locations we stayed had a fridge in the room. The room was a little narrow. Luggage was a little hard to get under the bed once open due to the narrowness of the room.

    The location was great, close to a few different subway lines. Beds were comfortable, showers were good sized with amenities in them and wonderful water pressure. We liked the under the bed luggage space. Rooms had fun designs. Lovely common areas (although we didn't spend much time in them or the room other than to sleep)
