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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
