My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was very convenient with easy access to transportation options and nearby attractions. The rooms, although small as expected in Japanese business hotels, felt a bit cramped and faced a busy street, making it noisy. The service was generally good with English-speaking staff but lacked the warmth I had experienced on previous visits. The dining options were limited to a neighboring coffee shop, and the food quality was disappointing. However, the hotel offered various facilities making the stay somewhat enjoyable.

The room, facing the street, felt like we were sleeping outside due to thin windows. It was cluttered and could do with less furniture. The extra bed was just a sofa that extended sideways, a common setup in Japanese business hotels.

The staff, while kind and friendly, lacked the expected warmth. They were able to communicate in English, which was helpful as we didn't know much Japanese.

The hotel's location was convenient with a bus stop right in front providing easy access to attractions like Kinkakuji Temple. However, it was quite a distance from the shopping areas and Nishiki Market.

I had a cozy stay at this hotel despite the room being small, fitting for one person. The helpful folder with dining tips was a nice touch, but the room size made it challenging to store luggage.

The room wasn't very large but sufficient for one person. The helpful dining tips in the folder were a nice addition. However, the small size made it difficult to accommodate all our luggage.

The service was a bit surprising as I never received the customary 'good evening' greeting, which was unexpected based on my previous stays. Nonetheless, the staff were extremely helpful, even going as far as folding our clothes left on the bed.

The location was excellent, situated on the main street yet surprisingly peaceful. It served as a great base in the city center, with easy access to Kyoto highlights, convenience stores, and a variety of restaurants nearby, especially the close proximity to Karasuma Shijo metro and key bus station.

For a solo traveler like me, the hotel was a great value for money, offering a bit of luxury without breaking the bank. The room felt a bit cluttered with unnecessary furniture, but that's typical for business hotels in Japan. Despite the small room size, which made it challenging to store luggage and move around, the overall experience was pleasant.

The staff were excellent in guiding us around the city and answering our questions about Kyoto's landmarks. However, they were not fluent in English, so communication was a bit of a struggle at times.

The hotel's location was fabulous, close to the main street but surprisingly quiet. The bus stop right outside and the nearby subway station made exploring Kyoto a breeze.

Dining options were limited to a few combos at a nearby diner; not very convenient, but the wood-fired pizza was a hit.
