bathroom hard to get into
Hotel was good, great location next to station, staff were excellent. The room I had bathroom was awkward impossible to get in and out of bathroom without twisting legs and knees. I stayed in hotels of all levels all over Japan. I never had any had a design like this. The size of bathroom small, that did not matter and can be normal in Japan. It was the toilet on an angle in front of the door open and make it impossible to get into the bathroom. I stayed in placew where bathroom is same size and smaller but they all be able to get in easily. Annoying thing is I was there 10 nights so make it super hard. I booked 2 moths out and paid double price, it not worth double price. At normal price it a good place.

It was not the most comfortable stay. My room was insanely tiny. No toiletries etc were provided. Breakfast was difficult as a vegetarian coz there were basically no food options. Overall just about average experience

Good location and value
Good location and right next to a train station. Many good restaurants nearby. Room was quite cozy, especially the bathroom. Clean, provided fresh towels daily. If you booked to include breakfast, it's quite ample. Amenities (toothbrush, sleeping gown, slippers, etc) provided. Would probably stay again. Staff was excellent.

Room was a bit smaller than I expected, but that might have been my mistake in booking the wrong type. Very convenient location (right next to Gojo Station Exit 8). All the staff were are very nice and helpful. Coin laundry is on same floor as the reception so it was a little awkward to have to walk past the front desk each time. There is also only elevator so it's a bit inconvenient to use. But overall, it was a pretty nice hotel.

Three-night stay in Gojo
Stayed for three nights. Staff are helpful and cheerful. The hotel is at Gojo, a bit far away from the hustling city centre, good for those who are looking for a quiet environment. Right next to the exit of Gojo metro station, convenient. Cleanliness requires improvement as some small insects are found in the room during our stay. Room is less spacious than expected. I was unable to fully open my luggage. Simple buffet breakfast provided, but if you visit the restaurant after 8:30am, not much food is left. Also used the coin laundry machine & drying machine. There were only two set of machines so you’ll have to wait for your turn.

Hotel was very comfortable to stay in. It is right next to Gojo station exit 8 as well as a bus stop so was very convenient. Staff could communicate in basic english well and had leaflets in english with any details. Buffet breakfast was a nice spread that had small changes on the dishes daily. Towels and bath amenities are all provided. There were also pillow options and pajamas at the check in lobby.

I really enjoyed the hotel and the area. Very easy access from Kyoto Station and Gion (and a subway station as well), close to some really nice and walkable neighborhoods. Having a convenience store on the same block was a plus! The breakfast is very Japanese, but the pastries and coffee were good. Super close to 2 big temples as well.

Awesome hotel.
The hotel is great. Right next to the subway station so great if you are backpacking. The hotel held our bags for us even after checkout. Free breakfast was delicious and the coffee was strong. We liked it so much the first night we rebooked it for another night. The room itself is small but I liked it very much. We slept in the Japanese style room.
