Its location is convenient, with a 7-Eleven downstairs and close proximity to bus stops and Gojo station, making it easy to reach Nishiki Market, Kyoto Station, and other attractions.

Satisfying Hotel Stay

The hotel features a 7-eleven downstairs. This provides easy access to snacks and necessities. The location is near a bus stop. This allows quick transport. The lobby offers complimentary coffee. I found the automated luggage storage useful.

The room had very limited space to hang clothes. This made longer stays a little tricky.

mixed feelings about the stay

big loungebroken dryer

the hotel offered a big lounge area i found useful and well guided luggage storage was available. the staff knew english, which i appreciated, and they tried to be accomodating.

we used it four times for some clothes and they were still wet. the internet was not good i could barely load a simple page. also there was a lot of noise coming from the street at night, so i could barely sleep.

Average Stay, Some Issues Noted

good locationdark roomslipping bedsheets

The location was pretty good. It was easy to reach various spots.

I wasn't thrilled with the room. It felt quite dark. The walls were a dark color, so the dim lighting was frustrating. It was hard to see anything properly. the bedsheets kept slipping off, made sleeping uncomfortable. I found myself constantly adjusting them throughout the night.
