In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms can be tight — Some guests found the rooms barely large enough for two open suitcases, leaving little extra space. The bed in a double room is about 120 cm wide.
  • Potential street noise — Windows left open to the street can let in noise, and the lobby can get crowded and loud during the free drink hours.
  • Breakfast may lack variety — While the breakfast is plentiful, some guests felt the options were limited and could use more European choices.

“The laundry facilities were excellent, and the microwave oven access was convenient. The free toiletries were comprehensive.”

8.6Verified guest

“Fantastic overall experience. Everything felt brand-new, including the friendly staff, and the location was stunning for visiting the temples of eastern Kyoto. The rooms were amazingly comfortable and compact, with a writing desk and chair. A short walk to the train station, convenience store, two subway lines, and a supermarket. Nearby Bar Agiyao was a great place to relax.”

“The breakfast is great with a variety of things to eat and drink. This is a go-to hotel for Kyoto!”

8.6Verified guest

“The location is excellent. The room was just big enough to place two open suitcases, after which there was hardly any space left. The bed was about 120 cm wide and comfortable, as was the pillow. Breakfast was plentiful but with limited choice—it could be a bit more European. From 14:00 to 23:00, different cold and hot drinks were available. Many people brought dinner and ate there because of this. The onsen was good.”

8.6Verified guest

“Very nice rooms and good beds. Breakfast was varied—Asian, Japanese, and continental. The location is absolutely central for sightseeing, shopping, and dining. The station is a 15-minute walk. The hotel has rental bikes.”

“Great location near Gojo subway station for easy access. The breakfast spread was good with both Japanese and Western options. The public bath was a fantastic way to unwind after sightseeing!”
