The hotel is conveniently located near Kyoto's bustling shopping area and offers easy access to public transportation. While the room was smaller than expected with minimal natural light, it was well-equipped with daily toiletries. The service was friendly and helpful, though there were some issues transferring luggage. The dining experience offered a variety of food options but may feel too Japanese for some. Overall, the hotel provides a great value for its location and amenities.

The hotel room didn't look anything like the pictures shown in the app; it was much older and not as nice as expected. The beds were small and extremely hard, making it uncomfortable. On the bright side, the room had nice amenities and was clean, and the staff were polite. The bathroom was tiny, and the overall space was so compact that we had to maneuver around our luggage.

The dining options were poor quality and overpriced. The restaurant had a very limited selection, and extra charges added up quickly. However, we did have one very nice dinner there.

The hotel was not as modern and nice-looking as the pictures on the app portrayed, with smaller and harder beds than expected. Despite that, the staff were friendly and provided useful tour information. The location was central and convenient, with the subway station nearby. The dining experience offered a blend of continental and Japanese breakfast, but the waiting time and emptiness of the restaurant were drawbacks.

The hotel is very well-located, centrally situated near Gion & Kyoto Station, making it perfect to explore the north part of the city. The rooms are exceptionally clean, well-kept, and come with delightful Asian-style nightwear. However, the service was a bit lacking when it came to handling requests beyond basic check-in tasks. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the enjoyable breakfast served. The location and cleanliness make it a great value for money choice.
