Review summary

Conveniently located near Gion, subway, and bus station, this hotel has received high praise for its excellent service, with many guests feeling well taken care of. The rooms are clean, ensuring a comfortable stay.

    “Very good”

    The location was great, and I could use the coin locker even after checkout, allowing me to explore hands-free. I didn't have any particular concerns about the noise or odor from the next room. When I was leaving, the train was delayed due to an accident, and they kindly told me which bus stop to go to and which bus number to take.

    “Great access, meals outside!”

    Right in front of Shijo Kawaramachi bus stop, access to various places in Kyoto is excellent! The price was also affordable for a holiday weekend. The room was clean and spacious enough. There is no dining or large public bath, so if you're looking for that, you'll need to go outside. It was very good!

    “Sufficient for sleeping and staying.”

    Directly connected to the station, so no getting wet in the rain, easy access to the city center, a Kyoto-style café on the first floor, good service at the front desk, the room was a bit old with noticeable stains on the wallpaper and water areas, amenities were minimal, but it's nice to have a refrigerator, TV, and kettle, and there are plenty of power outlets.

    “Great cost-performance ratio, recommended~”

    Advantages: 1. Next to the Sijiao River Subway Station, a prime location. 2. Shopping is very convenient, with both subway and bus available downstairs, making it easy to get to attractions. 3. Luggage storage is available, and the staff have a good attitude. Neutral: 1. The room is indeed small, so those with strict requirements for accommodation should choose carefully. 2. Though small, it is well-equipped, and there is a bathtub. 3. The lighting in the room is a bit dim. 4. Cleanliness is acceptable.

    “very good”

    First of all, the location is really, really good. There’s a bus stop right in front and a subway station just below. Plus, there’s a Lawson in the same building, haha. The price was also very good, and the staff were nice. The room was quite spacious and comfortable. I stayed one night in Osaka before coming here, and it felt even better because the place I stayed before wasn't great.

    투숙해 주셔서 감사합니다. 좋은 입지 조건과 버스·지하철 이용 편의성, 호텔 내 로손 편의점 등을 편리하게 이용하셨다고 하니 기쁩니다. 직원들의 응대나 객실의 넓이와 쾌적함에 대해서도 만족해 주셨다고 하니 안심이 됩니다. 다른 숙박 경험과 비교해 더 좋게 느껴지셨다는 말씀도 큰 힘이 됩니다. 다음에 교토를 방문하실 때도 꼭 저희 호텔을 이용해 주시기 바랍니다. 기다리고 있겠습니다.
