Camas incómodas muy duras

Greeted by books on the walls when I first enter the lobby. Check in was easy & smooth. The lobby is very loungey with nice furniture. The interior design is also beautiful. When you enter your room, you’re greeted with books on the wall. I enjoyed flipping through even though I don’t understand Japanese. Seeing the pictures & illustrations is fun. Standard japanese high quality bathroom. Nearby konbinis too! Within walkable ‘straight’ path distance to Kyoto Station.

3 star hotel treating their customers less than 1 star. It still baffles me that a hotel offering a washing machine/dryer and refuses to give change to use the machine. In fact so determined not to do so leave notes about it. I have been travelling for 5 weeks and I have never come across this! I can only see this as a way of the hotel trying to force their customers to ‘buy change’ for the machines. I had enough coins for the washing machine but not the dryer so left the heating on all day in my room to dry the clothes. What a false economy for the hotel. Maybe think of what would be helpful for people staying with you. The indifference, greed and customers having to use other methods (at an additional cost to you) seems ridiculous and not at all eco-friendly. What a shame! I had other things I would have liked to ask the hotel staff but after this it was very clear to me I was not valued and it wouldn’t be worth my time. The only thing I could do is write this review.

Lobby has a nice environment for resting and reading. Location near subway, convenient to walk from East side of Kyoto station. Room and lobby clean and right temperature.

Staff was helpful

room was clean and size was ample since most hotel rooms in Japan are generally smaller. But for me I didn't know that the hotel was a book themed type of hotel since my son recommended from a search which their is no blaming anything here. But for a book lover this would be paradise because their are books everywhere in the lobby, hallways and your room but I mostly saw Japanese books but I'm sure there are English books somewhere.

Great stay

I loved the unique library book concept. Also the staff was very service-oriented. Also location is reasonably close to the Kyoto train station. Just a short taxi ride.

Very good property, will definitely stay here again

Love the location and the room is quite big compare to other hotels. Definitely will comeback.
