8/10 Very Good! (23 reviews)
Room was OK but the lack of staff at front counter makes it very inconvenient. On the booking confirmation it states that "The front desk is open daily from 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM. The check-in location differs from the property location. To check in, go to 8-4 Kitakarasumacho, Higashikujo, Minami Ward, Kyoto 601-8017" . So when we arrive at 8pm, we walk 10 min to the address above to check in and walked another 20 min to the hotel. Later we found out that you could actually also check in direct at the hotel between 4-9pm. The booking instructions are misleading!

9/10 Wonderful! (314 reviews)
What a great hotel! My room was really nice with two twin beds and lounger to relax on. I had a bit of a view with the big picture window. This is a very walkable area 5 minutes walk to the nearest train station. There are lots of restaurants nearby and a ton of convenience stores with great food options too. The breakfast buffet is pretty awesome, just get there no later than 8:30. I highly recommended 👍

8.8/10 Excellent! (15 reviews)
They had self service towel stations for drop off and pick up which was amazing. I’m not too keen on someone coming to clean my room during my stay so I loved that feature. As well as there being no physical key, just a code for the door.
