Ár-érték arányban nagyon jó választás, közel van a vonatállomáshoz, nagyon komfortos szoba.
Pros:

Az ágy kényelmes, van mosógép, a szoba nagyon tiszta.

Cons:

A hangszigetelés nem tökéletes. A forgalom zaja behallatszik, ha kinyitom az ablakot. A kilátás nem túl szép, a szomszéd háztetőre néz.

It was located close to stations, had a nice view and was great value for money.

Cons:

Good and comfortable for a few days. Nothing more nothing less
Pros:

Overall, we had a comfortable stay at this hotel.

We booked quite last minute and were pleasantly surprised by the host’s quick and helpful communication. Since this is an unmanned hotel, they provided all the necessary check-in information beforehand. While we did receive instructions on how to obtain the key, they were a bit difficult to follow. Fortunately, there was a QR code in the hallway that provided a visual guide, which made the process much easier.

We stayed in a ground-floor room. The entrance door was quite heavy due to the strong suction from the ventilation system, but this wasn’t a major issue. The room itself was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. Amenities included a large washing machine, kitchenette, microwave, and mini fridge. The bathroom came stocked with essentials, including cups and razors. We especially appreciated the laundry drying options: both the bathroom and balcony had drying rails, and the bathroom featured a drying function that helped clothes dry much faster.

The bed was comfortable and clean, and the overall room felt well-maintained.

The location was another highlight. The hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood, yet Kyoto Station is only about a 10-minute walk away. Bus stops with connections to areas such as Gion are also just a few minutes from the property. There is a 24/7 Lawson convenience store nearby, although dining options in the immediate area are limited.

Cons:

A few minor drawbacks:
👉🏼 The shower drain became clogged quickly after only a couple of showers.
👉🏼 The bathroom had a slight unpleasant scent at times, likely caused by moisture buildup or lingering cleaning/bleach odors. It wasn’t overwhelming, but it was noticeable occasionally.
👉🏼The bathroom ventilation system appeared to run continuously, and we couldn’t find a way to turn it off, although the noise was manageable.
👉🏼 The bathroom faucet has extremely strong water pressure, so be careful when turning it on unless you’d like an unexpected splash.
👉🏼 Soundproofing also seemed somewhat limited, as we could occasionally hear the guests staying above us (walking and talking).
👉🏼 The toilet area was quite compact, and as Northern Europeans, we found it a snug fit, but we managed!
👉🏼 Lastly, room came with several small trash cans, which was convenient, but there were no extra trash bags available to replace them once they were full.

Despite these minor issues, we enjoyed our stay and found the hotel to be a convenient, clean, and comfortable base for exploring Kyoto.

Would stay agin but only due to location and price.
Pros:

Handy to train station and quieter than touristy areas of Kyoto. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom very clean.

Cons:

It’s a little tired and the hall and staircase weren’t so clean. But had everything you needed for a comfortable stay.
