I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms, though on the small side, were cozy and had all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore Kyoto on foot or by public transportation. The dining experience offered a taste of traditional Japanese cuisine, but with limited choices. The service was top-notch, although there was a slight language barrier. Overall, a great value for money hotel in a convenient location.

The hotel offers small and basic rooms, as expected for Japanese business hotels in this price category. While the rooms are cramped and have no view, they are well planned. The service, while friendly and accommodating, may be a bit inexperienced with dealing with foreigners. The location is excellent, being situated in the Sanjo area of Kyoto and close to transportation and shopping areas. The dining is predominantly Japanese style, which may not cater to all tastes, with limited options available. Overall, the hotel provides a satisfactory experience in terms of cleanliness and functionality, especially for those looking for a budget-friendly stay.

The hotel offers compact yet squeaky-clean rooms with all amenities, making it a worthwhile stay for the price paid. Despite the snug space, the absence of smoke odors was a relief. The service is polite and helpful, albeit slightly less conversational in English compared to other places. The location is superb, nestled amid vibrant shopping areas and close to key Kyoto attractions. The dining experience leans heavily on Japanese cuisine, presenting authentic flavors but limited variety. Overall, a snug and clean stay with great service and convenient surroundings.
