    great location
    comfy beds

    Positive, I loved the clean and well-organized facilities. The location is fantastic, just steps from Nishiki Market! I appreciated having my own room but with shared amenities that were bright and tidy. The option for daily clean towels was a nice touch. The comfy beds made my stay even better. 😊

    friendly staff
    cramped room
    disappointing breakfast

    Friendly staff and well-maintained common areas.

    I found the room quite cramped, making it difficult to navigate with a medium suitcase. The bathroom stalls were popular, leading to some inconvenient waits. Breakfast was disappointing, with limited options available that were not worth the time spent in line.

    fabulous facilities
    spacious shared showers

    clean, clean, clean

    The facilities were fabulous and spotless, making it one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed at. I loved the spacious shared showers on the first floor, which offered ample room and many individual stalls. The air conditioning was incredibly effective, providing a refreshing escape from the hot Kyoto weather.

    do recommend 😊❤️

    The location was amazing! We were just steps away from Nishiki Market, where we enjoyed delicious street food. Our little one loved the nearby parks, and the staff kept the shared areas clean, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring.

    My wife says that the rooms could be larger for families.

    comfy beds
    great location
    shared kitchen
    automated check-in

    We had an awesome time here! The beds were super comfy and we were close to Nishiki Market, perfect for food and exploration. The shared kitchen was a bonus for making our own snacks, and the drinkable water stations were really convenient. Plus, being near parks made it easy to chill after a day out with friends.

    The only downside was the automated check-in system. It felt a bit impersonal at first and took a moment to figure out. I prefer a more traditional welcome.

    cozy room
    clean showers
    well-thought-out amenities
    small space
    limited storage

    The room was small but super cozy! It had high ceilings and a neat platform with two mattresses. I appreciated the lounging clothes and basket for carrying my stuff to the shower. The shared showers were clean, and I never had to worry about waiting thanks to the tablet that showed availability. Plus, everything felt safe with the access cards. Just a tad cramped for my suitcase though.

    perfect base for exploring nearby parks and vibrant market

    i loved how close we were to the lively nishiki market, just a few steps away, and the serene kyoto imperial palace, which was a leisurely stroll of about 25 minutes, making it easy to enjoy both street food and beautiful park views during my stay.

    excellent location
    limited storage
    cramped room
    automated check-in confusion

    The location is unbeatable, just steps from Nishiki Market and a short walk from the Imperial Palace. The minimalistic single room I stayed in was cozy, had adjustable heating and lighting, and offered remote toilet and shower status. The shared areas were impeccably maintained, and the laundry service was a great convenience. However, the limited space in the room felt a bit cramped and the automated check-in, while convenient, required some getting used to.

    Clean facilities and comfy beds made my stay great (loved the compact design). The location was unbeatable, literally steps from Nishiki Market and easy access to restaurants and transport.

    Nothing at all.

    modern amenities
    impressive cleanliness
    late check-in
    shower wait

    Located right by Nishiki Market, the hotel provided a unique and modern stay with impressive amenities like a bedside tablet for controlling lights and checking laundry status. Although the check-in time was later than expected and shower stalls required some waiting, the overall cleanliness and sense of security made for a pleasant experience.
