The rooms are very very big, but a bit run down. Scrape marks on doors, weird ventilation noises at night, you have to hand your key in when you leave the building, quite a few little issues. The rooms have full sized bathrooms with a bath, however after running one the bathroom was hot and muggy for hours after. The biggest deterrent though is that the hotel is a 10 minute plus walk to the nearest train/subway station. Staying here makes it a bit harder to get around. I would suggest finding a hotel next to a station. There probably some good ones.

Find another place!

Arrived early and had to check bags, no accommodation for early checkin or late check out. Rooms carpet had to have been 40 years old with a vivid smell of mold not only in the room but the entire hotel. The water also had a strange odor which prompted us to buy bottles even though the rest of japan and even Kyoto didn’t have the same issue. The bathroom was tiled floor, walls and ceiling and reminded us of a submarine or underground dirty basement. The bed was a brick, couldn’t sleep more than a few hours without waking up in pain, almost better off on the floor. Bed also lacked sheets, just one covering a nasty mattress with stains and a comforter. Even though the staff was very friendly and the location is great, it wasn’t worth the lack of sleep or feeling dirty almost all the time even after showers.

Good location to see Gion .

Good location to see the Gion area. It is on a bus route to Kyoto Central. Also close to bus routes and metros to to see all the main points of interests in Kyoto. The staff was very helpful in giving us the directions to reach the main sites. The rooms are small, but very comfortable. There are no cupboards so all your clothes will have to stay in your suitcases.

Good hotel in a touristy location

A nice hotel with an average to good breakfast. The location is great if you want to be near some lovely temples and right in the middle of hoards of tourists. If I end up in Kyoto again I'll try to stay a bit further west towards Nishiki market.

I'd love to stay here again if I'm ever in Kyoto

First off, the service was impeccable. The staff were all so accommodating, kind, and helpful. I cannot stress that enough. The room was clean, but there was a strange/off smell in the hallway on our floor...but that was kind of all over the city. I'm not sure what it was. It wasn't really enough to be gross or inconvenience us, as we only encountered it to and from the elevator. The room was very spacious. The beds were very hard. We had a double room, so I slept with the comforter on one of the beds, and used the one from the second bed as a sheet to add some cushion to it. Honestly, it may be the way the beds are there, but that was my only "issue" with the hotel, and even then it wasn't much of an issue. It was very central to everything. A quick walk to the bus stop that takes you to the tourist spots, it's right next to a shrine, and it was just really well located.

Poor quality, overpriced hotel

We decided to extend our stay in Kyoto and this was the only place we could get that had a non-smoking room. Apparently for a reason. The staff was very nice, but this hotel has several serious problems. The first, and most serious problem is that the beds are absolutely terrible. We had stayed at a ryokan immediately prior, and these beds were a downgrade from literally sleeping on the floor. The second problem is the restaurant in the basement is really, really bad. They will try to sell you breakfast at the lobby desk, and the reason is that if you went down and saw the buffet yourself, you would never buy it. There were only two things that were good about the hotel: The bathrooms are quite large. The juice on the buffet was acceptable.
