Categories

Cleanliness
7.5
Most guests described rooms as clean and tidy, but there are a few reports of dust on the floor, a slightly unclean laundry/common area at times, and an occasional corridor odor — hence a slightly reduced score.
Service
9
Staff repeatedly noted as super helpful; the novelty dinosaur check-in 'staff' is popular and staff stepped in quickly to assist with machines and luggage, giving a strong positive service impression.
Location
9.5
Near-universal praise for location: right in front of or a few steps from Kyoto Station, very convenient for transport and central for sightseeing.
Room Quality
8.8
Rooms are often described as appropriately sized (larger than typical for Japan), comfortable beds and pillows, separate bath/toilet/washbasin layout; isolated notes of unpleasant smells in corridors lower the score slightly.
Amenities
8.7
Well-regarded extras such as Phiten foot-massage machines, luggage storage, bike-rental coupon, vending machines and nearby convenience store; some communal areas (laundry/snack area) had intermittent cleanliness issues.
Value for Money
9
Multiple guests called the hotel affordable and a good value for the location and room size, reflecting strong perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Breakfast offerings were described as diverse and included for some guests, but there are complaints about required advance reservations for the hotel café, high/unstable chairs, and limited accessibility at times, yielding a mixed score.
Overall Experience
8
Overall stays are positive with many guests saying they'd return due to location, helpful staff and comfortable rooms; a few operational and cleanliness hiccups temper the top score.

Super chambre, petit déjeuner moyen
Pros:

Nous avons passé une nuit en chambre triple au 5ème étage. La chambre était d'une taille convenable, c'etait très propre, très bien insonorisée, et la literie était très confortable. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié de pouvoir laisser les bagages de manière sécurisée à dans les casiers à l'entrée de l'hôtel.

Cons:

Nous avons pris le petit déjeuner à l'hôtel. Il y avait des propositions japonaises et Européennes. Nous avons mangé à notre faim mais nous aurions aimé de meilleurs pains et pâtisseries et des fruits. Plusieurs plats 'chauds' étaient froids.

Cons:

No realizan la gestión del envío de maletas a otro hotel, dicen que solo lo hacen a cobro revertido, es decir que en vez de gestionar el envío y pagarles el servicio, quieren que se haga cargo el hotel al que quieres que lleguen las maletas. Esto nos supuso un inconveniente en nuestra planificación. En los demás hoteles te lo gestionan, rellenas el formulario de la empresa de transporte, pagas el coste de la tarifa en ese momento al hotel y ellos se encargan.

Jeg ville bo der igen!
Pros:

Hotellet ligger lige over for Kyoto Station - super nemt! Der er opbevaring af bagage før check-in og efter check-ud. Vi havde et Hollywood Room med to enkeltsenge, og det var fantastisk. Rimeligt rummeligt, meget rent og helt nyrenoveret. Robotterne ved check-in var en sjov oplevelse.

Cons:

Intet - alt var perfekt.

I would say it’s a luxurious Hostel.
Pros:

Proximity to main train & metro station.

Cons:

No staff to communicate with since receptionist are robots and even when you find someone to talk to you find huge language barriers. Pillows are miserable and bathroom is tiny. Breakfast very much basic. I have scarified last night and instead left Kyoto and booked 4 nights in Sheraton Osaka much cheaper than Hee an.

Pros:

Ontbijt in de Ierse kroeg, wel grappig maar weinig plek dat is wel nadelig als het hotel vol zit. Ligt dichtbij het station wat heel handig is. De dino's zijn vooral heel grappig. Toen het niet lukte met inchecken omdat de naam anders in het systeem stond was er heel snel personeel wat kwam helpen, dat was wel goed. Je had zelf niet de kans om naar hulp te vragen ze stonden al klaar. Kamers zijn simpel en wat groter voor Japanse begrippen.

Pros:

Het zijn ruime kamers, maar 5 minuten lopen van het station .

Cons:

Wegens maar beperkte ruimte dus moet he een tijd aangegeven wanneer je wilt ontbijten ver van te voren. Is niet altijd haalbaar aan gezien je soms plannen veranderen
