Large beds in tight space

The front desk provided excellent service, especially with luggage pick-up from Kyoto Station. The kitchenette was a big plus. having a fridge and microwave made meals easy. The washing machine in the room was convenient. The beds were comfortable, not too firm like many other hotels in Japan. I appreciated the space in the room. However, the property is quite far from train stations, making it less accessible. Limited dining options nearby, particularly at night, required frequent bus rides for better choices. Some aspects need attention, like the slippery bed, which made it easy to slide off. Plus, I noticed the lack of light switches by the bed, causing some inconvenience when turning off lights after lying down. The room lacked towel hooks, and the light near the door was sometimes bothersome for someone sleeping across from it. Despite these issues, the overall value for the price was decent.

What you should know

The bathroom features a small TV, while the kitchen is well-equipped with utensils, a washing machine, and a large mattress for optimal comfort. The staff is undeniably helpful and friendly, enhancing my stay.

It's quite a trek to the nearest train station, so plan for additional travel time. The limited dining options nearby can be inconvenient, especially after a long day of exploring.

The kitchenette was super handy for our family, especially with little kids. It made prepping snacks a breeze! We really enjoyed the washing machine, which came in handy after long days of exploring. Plus, having a flat-screen TV for evening downtime was a hit with the kids.

In my wife’s opinion, more towel hooks would be helpful.

The place had a washing machine, a unique drying system, and a comfy bathtub with a TV. I loved the relaxing walk by the river nearby.

Air conditioning did its job well in the heat, offering a cool refuge. The apartment's layout provided a good sense of space, making it comfortable for relaxing after a long day.

WiFi connection in the room was painfully slow and frequently dropped. The air conditioning unit was dusty and appeared overdue for cleaning, causing some concern about hygiene. The tub water wasn’t hot enough for a proper soak, and we lacked clear English instructions for the water heater. Additionally, the balcony had a constant wet patch from the draining aircon, making it unpleasant to use.

the street noise was pretty annoying at night. but the location was awesome, super close to the imperial palace! loved having a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchenette for quick meals. staff was really friendly, too!

Great Location with Convenient Amenities

Our stay was enjoyable, especially since public transport was a breeze for sightseeing. The kitchenette allowed us to prepare meals effortlessly, making it easier to explore local flavors without dining out every night. Just remember, the Hankyu Kyoto metro line isn’t included in the day pass!

The relaxing atmosphere made this stay enjoyable, amplified by a wonderfully spacious room and a well-equipped kitchenette perfect for preparing meals whenever we desired. However, street noise was an issue at night, which disrupted sleep, and navigating to nearby train stations required a longer walk than expected. Despite these drawbacks, the friendly staff and washing machine added significant convenience during our stay.

The property offers complimentary luggage pickup from Kyoto Station, which was a significant convenience, especially for business travelers. The kitchenette, equipped with a fridge and microwave, allowed for easy meal preparation. Additionally, the spacious layout of the room contributed to a comfortable environment for unwinding after work.

The property is quite far from train stations.

The room was spacious and included a kitchen, which made it easy to enjoy meals together. We loved hanging out in the living area and watching shows on the flat-screen TV after exploring sites like the Imperial Palace and Gion District. The location made public transit and sightseeing a breeze!

Beware of the noise from the street outside. it can get pretty loud at night. A couple of us had trouble sleeping without earplugs.
