    “No waste.”

    I met up with my daughter who lives in Kyoto, and we stayed with my brother for three people. The room is compact, with three beds that fit perfectly, and everything necessary is installed without waste. The amenities are not just useless items lying around; what is needed is provided, and the rest can be taken by ourselves. The loungewear is also a separate type and very comfortable to wear. The accommodation cost is low, and the room is clean and beautiful. There was a slight smell if I set the air conditioner temperature too low, but it wasn't bothersome. The best part is the location, which is excellent! It’s easy to move around within walking distance of various places from the hotel, and the front desk staff were overseas employees who were also good at Japanese and provided kind assistance. I was able to do things freely without being interfered with, and check-in and check-out were smooth. I was very satisfied with the service for this price and would like to use it again.

    “A great accommodation with good price, location, cleanliness, and service!”

    It was really comfortable and good value for solo travel. There were no dirty places, and the amenities were sufficient. Clean and neat without any unnecessary things! There’s a convenience store just a minute away and a station, so the location seems perfect. However, the soundproofing from outside is a bit lacking, but I don’t think it will be a big issue for solo travel. If I come again, I definitely want to visit again.

    “Exceptional”

    A two-night trip with my high school daughter. The room was clean, and we were able to sleep well and comfortably. Complimentary water was prepared in the refrigerator each night, which was very convenient. The Shijo Takakura bus stop was nearby, and the access was good. I would like to use this place again when I visit Kyoto.

    “The location is good.”

    The location was good, and it was easy to move around for dropping off luggage and coming in and out. Since I was driving, I had a hard time finding parking. The room had one double bed and not much space, but I think it was acceptable since it was very cheap. It's more than enough for just staying over.

    “A beautiful hotel near the station.”

    It's in a convenient location to go anywhere in Kyoto, with a bus stop and subway station nearby! There are plenty of convenience stores around, and the location was excellent. The room was clean, and there was no noise that bothered me, plus the firmness of the bed was just right, allowing me to sleep soundly! I would like to use it again!
