Fine location only 15 min waking from Kyoto main station and very close to Gojo station taking us to other places in Kyoto with ease. The room was nothing special, seemed kind of standard for Japan. However, we had hoped for a little bit more modern facilities in our room and for the level of cleanliness of especially the bedding to be better. Staff was nice

Three-night stay in Gojo

Stayed for three nights. Staff are helpful and cheerful. The hotel is at Gojo, a bit far away from the hustling city centre, good for those who are looking for a quiet environment. Right next to the exit of Gojo metro station, convenient. Cleanliness requires improvement as some small insects are found in the room during our stay. Room is less spacious than expected. I was unable to fully open my luggage. Simple buffet breakfast provided, but if you visit the restaurant after 8:30am, not much food is left. Also used the coin laundry machine & drying machine. There were only two set of machines so you’ll have to wait for your turn.

Great service and location. Good bang for ur buck.

Amazing location, only 1 station from Kyoto station whereas the station entrance is literally next door to the hotel. Surrounded by restaurants and conbinis a stones throw away. The service from the various staff at the hotel was also top tier. The breakfast was nothing special, has your typical Japanese items. The room itself was spacious for what I paid for and clean. Also had a few interesting quirks like a desk, an ethernet plug + cord, a printer of sorts, and a flashlight attached to the bed frame. What bothered me slightly was the fact that the door was maybe an inch off the ground, i.e. the sound and light from the corridor easily leaked in and I could imagine that it would also leak out quite easily. Additionally, the room window was immediately pointed at the next building a little over a meter away, not much to look at really. Might have been just my room that was the closest to the elevator but these are the main reason for why I could not give 5 stars. Other than that I had quite a pleasant stay.

バスタブに手すりがなく高齢者には使い辛い。部屋が狭い割には照明が不十分で、入る口付近のゴミ箱の表示が見えにくい。部屋にあるガイドも説明が不十分。フロントの説明も言葉足らずで、アメニティーのスリッパやガウンも訪ねて初めて理解できた。風呂の換気扇は音が大きすぎた。 良かった点はフリードリンクサービス。地下鉄の駅に近い立地。オートロックシステム。
