Excellent

Service was great, staff were helpful, supportive and professional. But the hotel is really aging out, hallway has an old smell, and room carpets condition are just poor.
Washroom is designed too small in compare with the room size.
Good thing we had Air Refresher in the room, so room always smells fresh. Ok with the hotel condition but should not be paying too much for this hotel due to its conditions.

Overall it’s ok. One very negative thing was smell of bathroom. Smell pee & we tried to use air fresher, but didn’t go away. That was really disappointing thing for us. But amenities were good including tea powder.
A very nice hotel for a family stay. It is very accessible to a subway station. It is also conveniently located near key transport nodes and shopping areas. I'm pleasantly surprised that the hotel is still using an actual room key (the metal and keychain, not the card) that one may safekeep at the conceige. This is a practice not commonly seen today. But then, this is Kyoto!
Beautiful place , very clean , everything is close by , station many restaurants around , in the future I would come back again thanks

The first room smelled of cigarette smell and humidity. We told the staff and they were nice enough to give us another room. The next room was a bit better. It did not have a cigarette smell but you can still smell old humidity in the room. We were able to air it out as they had a fan and we could open the windows. The bathroom was very small. I hit my head on the door knob trying to stand up from the seat. The bathroom had a noticeable but not overbearing sewage smell that was also present in the room prior. The staff was nice and the location is convenient but I will never book here again.

Old facilities but clean. Cannot control AC by degrees (only three settings). Tiny bathroom/bathtub. But overall good bang for the buck.
Grand looking hotel, the staff were wonderful and it's close to everything. The nearest underground station in seconds away too. Will definitely visit again

This is an older property, fairly well maintained. The location right above a major train/subway intersection in the city center can’t be beat. Also, the price was quite inexpensive. The bathroom was a typical “unit” type affair which taller/larger guests might find challenging. I was not in Kyoto to spend time in a hotel room, so found everything satisfactory.
Property was nice, rooms were clean, and the staff were friendly. Room was a bit small (still bigger than Tokyo) but that's what you get for convenience. Would absolutely come back!
It was very old and felt uncleaned. Location was good though

Pros: Check in was smooth, staff was polite. Hotel is easy to find.
Cons:
The room was big but bathroom extremely tiny
The ventilation/air conditioning was very little. I couldn’t sleep at night because it was too hot (it was autumn)
The pillows are extremely soft and flat
