My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location was superb, just a short walk from Kyoto Station, with many attractions nearby. While the service was helpful, there were a few hiccups like forgetfulness with coffee replenishment. The rooms, though compact, served their purpose for a solo traveler. Dining options were limited but convenient, and the traditional Japanese fare was a nice touch.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms, though small, were very functional, clean, and comfortable. The ideal location in Kyoto made it a special experience, despite limited space for suitcases. The friendly staff members added to the overall positive experience, but there were some instances where service could be improved. Being close to Kyoto Station was incredibly convenient for exploring the city and dining out.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The single room I had was typically small in Japanese style but adequately furnished to be comfortable, especially the bed. However, the room, located on the 4th floor, suffered from a strong urine smell in the corridor. The service was friendly and the location near Kyoto Station was perfect for exploring the city. The dining options were decent, mainly traditional Japanese. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.

Rooms

The small single room, while cozy, was a bit too cramped for single use and definitely not suitable for two people. The bed was comfortable though.
