Being a first time traveller to Japan, I have every faith in the one culture which most of us would look up to as an exemplary of efficiency at its best. I was not disappointed. After a long & tiring midnight flight to Osaka & an 1 hour train ride to Kyoto, we couldn't wait to drop off our luggages.... More

Location is excellent. But the bed is worse than sleeping on a roll away or pull out. There are ridges in it that hurt no matter how I lay. There is no padding whatsoever. I usually stay in Toyoko Inns, and their beds aren't awesome, but it's fine for the price. This one is seriously not even tolerable. It's a... More

Good morning everyone. I was with my family (four people, two double rooms) for five nights at this hotel in August 2012: about 800 euros, with an advance purchase of six months. As is our custom, we only used the hotel as a base for traveling around all the time, by public transport (both in Kyoto, with the Kansai pass,... More

Stayed 3 nights here. Good location, and the staff were very helpful. Rooms were fine but the bed and pillows were terrible. The beds were rock hard and the pillows were almost the same. If they improved the bedding I'd stay here again though.

This hotel is well priced and in a fairly good location, about a 5min walk from Shijo subway station. The hotel needs an update but was clean, and everyone was very friendly. The room was reasonably appointed, although a little dated, but for the cost seemed reasonable.
