Do not come here trust me
Pros:

Location is not worth it. The rooms are so tiny with 2 adults you feel crammed. The WiFi goes in and out and most times can’t even connect for 30 minutes (bad for an hotel for business event) and the food is not good. This hotel is not family friendly. The there are only 3 washing machines for this big building. And the pillows aren’t even real pillows they’re beaded. Worst sleep of my life. Only stay here is you’re here for 1-2 nights by yourself staying here 3 nights was hell. Never again coming to APA

Good hotel for business visit stay
Pros:

The hotel is suited for persons who are on business trips as the rooms are quite small. The breakfast menu is also not lavish but meets the requirements.

The whole place is extremely clean and the check in, check out process is very smooth. The staff as usual in Japan is very courteous.

The location of the hotel is the biggest advantage, very near to Kyoto Station

Pretty close to the train station
Pros:

We are pretty sure there was a little mold in one of the rooms we were in but they were willing to relocate us to another room which was no problem. It's a pretty decent hotel the rooms are small but that's like that in most hotels in Japan I suppose. There's washing machine and dryer that you can use but be prepared to wait in line for those especially during high season. The staff were very nice and overall we were satisfied. It's pretty close to the train station too which is probably the best thing about the hotel.

Pros:

The location is good as it's a short walk from Kyoto station. But the bathroom smelled of drainage and it wasn't very nice..
Also, my room was at the corner and I couldn't sleep well because of the noise from outside (even the noise of winds!) and room next to mine. I could hear person moving in the room next to me. They weren't shouting or anything but I could still hear them doing something almost like the room was connected :(

Pros:

The staff provided fresh towels along with coffee and tea and cups every single day. The staff was also very helpful. Overall, thr hotel was good but it was extremely humid inside our room so much so that our blankets and clothes eere damped every day. This situation made for a very uncomfortable stay. Unfortunately, the air conditioner did not help with this matter.

Nice location since it was right next to a seven eleven and walking distance from the kyoto station. It’s also right near a bus stop and nice food places nearby.

Pros:

It’s very convenient that is next to Tokyo Station, makes it easy to get around. I did not used the Onsen, so paid for something I did not used. Clean, some of the staff is very friendly while others just ok. Didn’t do the breakfast or dinner. Many places outside to select it. They ah e bending machines there n the 7/11 is next door.

Pros:

This hotel is such great value for your money. I've also stayed in this chain hotel in Tokyo. It is very clean with comfortable beds and good wifi connection. They provide more amenities they similar American chain hotels. They are also located in popular tourist areas and close to public transportation. The double rooms are very compact. As a solo traveler I have found them to be comfortable.
