Great spot in Kyoto
Great hotel with excellent service. Definitely dated decor but that’s part of its charm. Bikes for rent and excellent location.

Stay elsewhere.
This hotel is outdated and requires renovation. Our room was not clean and the tray that held glasses looked as if it had cigarette ashes on it. The tables and sideboard were dirty.

Good for westerners and had crib
Great spot for western travelers! Although we had 2 twin beds they were comfortable, especially compared to other hotels we’ve stayed at. They were able to supply a baby crib which was a hard to find elsewhere. We could adjust the thermostat which was also nice. The bathroom is small but not as small as other places. Wouldn’t recommend the hotel breakfast but it’s a short walk to fantastic French bakeries (Shinshindo is awesome). Subway and bus stops we’re nearby which made getting around easy. Overall would recommend!

Very convenient location next to excellent cafe “Time-doh” and in between Karasuma and Marutamachi subway stations, convenience stores, restaurants. Very nice and helpful front desk staff. Rooms and bath are basic but just what is needed. Overall convenient and good price. I would stay there again because it is close to where I need to be at a very affordable nightly rate.

Great location
The palace entrance is right across the road. It was very convenient. The staff told us where to see a festival and how to get there. They were very pleasant. It is a nice hotel for such a low price.
