Solo stay

Excellent Japanese style hotel with traditional Japanese breakfast and diner (extra). Staff were professional, friendly and accommodating. Staff replied to two previous emails regarding food allergies and we appreciated their diligence. Proximity to Kyoto Station and walk ability was an 11 out of 10.

Stayed with a group of my family friends, and it's located conveniently in front of Kyoto sta. We could experienced a traditional Japanese ryokan with reasonable price. The facility was bit old but farely well-maintained.

This is a very average hotel. Location is good, close to Kyoto station but far from night life. The cleanness in the room is decent but the lobby has a bad smell, kind of like old smoke. Pillows are very uncomfortable. The public bath is nice and clean. There is no coffee in the room or in the lobby, you should go and buy coffee in the morning. They provide Japanese style PJ and free beer in the afternoon which is nice.
