Good hotel with basic amenities and in a good location.
Pros:

Good location near to Nijo station, some shops and restaurants nearby.
Other stations that go to the center for example (Omiya) are quite far.

Cons:

The location is a bit noisy. The breakfast is quite limited. Rooms are ok, quite basic but you have all you need.
We wanted to extend our stay and the calculation for the 2 days was more expensive than for 6 days before that - found this strange for existing customers.

最高
Pros:

綺麗かつスタイリッシュ駅近立地よし
大浴場が有り、尚且つ遅くまで利用できる点。ランドリーは使って無いがしっかり暗証番号入力などが有り最新で安心。
食事も美味しかった。

Cons:

夜中の入館がタッチセンサーでタッチ場所がちょっとスタイリッシュ過ぎて分かりにくいし、一瞬あ!やべ入れないと焦った
エレベーターも同様に部屋に行く際階を押しても行きません
で、焦り降りて良く見たらカードキーを当てないと行けない。
もう少し分かりやすい説明とう受付、もしくは、見えやすい場所に記載して貰えると更に快適になりそうですね。

Pros:

The foyer, bar and restaurant area are great with good breakfast and affordable lunch options. Also a table tennis! Rooms were nice and big and location is really close to the station and Nijo-jo Castle. Really good value for money.

Big bang for your buck
Pros:

The property was located within a quieter part of town but not too far from the shopping, eating and sightseeing. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The rooms were clean and the bed was large. Breakfast was decent quality as well

Cons:

One small complaint was that the bed was too firm. It’s not a big problem, but if you have back issues the bed can feel a bit stiff. Would be a perfect 10/10 experience otherwise.

Very good but not quite great
Pros:

There’s a lot to like about this property. It’s modern, clean, with large comfortable rooms and it’s very close to Nijo JR and subways station, as well as buses, which will take you pretty much all the places you’ll want to go in Kyoto. Yet the area itself is a bit more chilled than downtown Kyoto, with some really good local restaurants, bakeries, coffee places and shops nearby as well as a cinema complex with chains such as KFC and Starbucks for those who like that sort of thing.

I’d recommend Lion Bakery, just around the corner of the hotel for breakfast- it’s affordable and delicious.

The staff we met were all friendly and polite and there is a decent public bath- not as good as some we visited but ok- which is nice to relax in at the end of the day.

The hotel was very good value for money compared to others of a similar standard available during our time in Kyoto.

Cons:

This is another Japanese hotel at risk of allowing a “concept” to get in the way of basic hospitality principles. The day we arrived was incredibly hot and humid, we were tired, sweaty, we had children with us and were carrying backpacks. But when we went to the “check in” desk we were told we had to use a self check-in machine and were not allowed to check in at the desk. The check in machine then proceeds to ask you to fill in lots of information you already provided when you booked and scan a passport for each guest. It’s reasonably easy to use but typing a British address on a form designed for Japanese address formats, on a not particularly responsive touch screen, whilst wearing a backpack and looking after kids isn’t a great experience.

A staff member appeared to be coming to help, instead he gave us a drink as part of a promotion and promptly disappeared.
You also have to get your amenities from reception and take them to your room. Some are in a grab area, others are behind the reception desk- such as water bottles. You can’t get coffee to take to your room and there is none in the room. Free coffee is in reception, but personally when I wake up in the morning I want to make coffee in my room, not to have to get dressed, go to reception and come back to my room.

The baths also don’t have things like combs, cotton buds, razors, or lotion for after your bath. But you have to wear your “pyjamas” (Katana) to the baths, which you aren’t allowed to wear in reception to collect some amenities- which are all there instead.
Our room had a frosted window with no view.

The a/c in our room only worked properly some of the time.

Occasionally there was no hot water.
