A large bath made me relax.A free supper and a free breakfast made me stuffed.Hotel mans are polite.
Katsunori, 1-night trip

Great

It’s a great experience overall considering the rate in summer - I only paid CAD 46 for a one night stay. Clean room and friendly staff along with free breakfast as well as dinner. The only thing is that it’s a bit far from Kyoto station so location wise, the universal hotels in other Japanese cities (Hiroshima, Okayama, etc) provide a better experience.

Nice stay

Nice stay at this hotel, the employees are professionnals that are here for you in case you need them. The room are clean and the hotel too. Thank you for those good moments.
Vincent, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rooms are very small but the facilities makeup for that. You get breakfast included in the price which is a very good deal for the price. There is a Lawson right near the entrance for quick shopping. Kyoto station is a good 20 minutes walk.
Balaji, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pretty small rooms. Quiet and reasonably clean. We are happy with their free breakfast, supper and public hot spring service, but their bed wasn't really comfortable though. It's better than Good but not yet Excellent. Will recommend to couples who want to spend less on travel for a ok recommendation.
K, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The room is very small, think of a cruise ship style room. It did include breakfast and dinner. This place met my budget.
Bobby, 3-night trip

Old property, bad odor, old furniture.
Newton, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

I was very suprised to find that the hotel was open to the elements with no proper roof when you walk in the hallways for your room. Could easily flood on a stormy night.
Georgia, 2-night trip

Getting your key back to enter your room kinda sucks during the evening when most new people are checking in

Cheap and quick stay

Well overall it is ok. Double meals was unexpected better than one can think. Don't forget to prepare for Kyoto accommodation tax. I wish I could have paid together from the beginning. However it is quite far from subway station so be mindful.

USA trio

Great value. Cold rooms because the heater turns off when you leave. Breakfast ends a little early for my liking. Good service except we had three people in our room and two pillows and when i asked for another pillow they said, "no".
4-night trip

6/10 Good

5 or so min walk to Kujo metro station. Lawson store right next to hotel. Breakfast and dinner included in stay, which we weren’t aware of. Check in was slow and English was limited. Breakfast was ok for the convenience, dinner we only had once during our stay as obviously much better food in Kyoto! Room and bathroom very small and dated decor. No wardrobe or space to put your luggage so was difficult with our 5 night stay. Plenty of washing machines and tumble dryers. Would recommend only for a 1/2 night stay and you are price sensitive.
5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fully booked and great value for the price charged. Not a 5 star hotel but for the price it is extremely great. Free breakfast and dinner has tiny portions but great flavours. Introduced me to my new favourite condiments. I am a healthy eater so salad and vegetables were all you can eat and pleantiful. The only thing I did not like was all vegetables were cold but I simply soaked them in hot water I. The bowl and drained it a few times. Seating is tight but works. If you are picky you will complain about something but the same can be said no matter where you stay. Our bathroom was a bit uriny smelling but the Japanese toilet seat was great. Rooms in Japan are tight and small and this is no exception. These Japanese rooms make cruise ship rooms feel big. Anyway I would recommend this place and would stay again
