9.2/10 Wonderful! (117 reviews)

I had such a great stay here! The room and bathroom were super clean, and the water pressure was amazing. They provided really nice shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that smelled so good. The comforter was soft, fluffy, and super cozy — perfect after a long day of exploring. The location couldn’t be better — I could easily walk to Yasaka Pagoda, Gion District, Nishiki Market, and several temples. There are lots of restaurants nearby, plus convenience stores like Lawson, 7-Eleven, and Family Mart just around the corner. There’s even a tax-free shop right across the street. The train station is only about 2 minutes away, which made getting around so easy. Overall, super comfortable stay in a perfect location. Would definitely stay here again!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (29 reviews)

We had a great stay here. It was a self service type experience but it all was simple and worked great for us. The bed was comfortable. It was very close to the main shopping areas in Kyoto with just a short walk and there were many great shops and restaurants down the side streets in the neighborhood as well. There was a great local grocery store just across the street too. The staff were helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.
