Good, basic hotel. The breakfast and dinner weren't bad. Close to the train station and downtown.

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.

Free breakfast and dinner was great. It was annoying to have to turn in the key every time I left.

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

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.

Old property, bad odor, old furniture.

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.

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".

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.

京都駅から比較的近く、夕朝食が無料でついているのに、値段は比較的安かったので、コストパフォーマンスが非常にいいホテルでした。 部屋はベッドだけでなく、ソファーもあるので、部屋では快適に過ごせました。 唯一改善して欲しいと思った点は、チェックイン時間前でも、空部屋かあればチェックイン出来るという事です。 16時までチェックイン出来ないので、チェックイン時間に人が集中して、チェックイン待ちの時間が長かったです。

コスパ最強

夕食も朝食も付いてこの金額はとてもありがたいです。 京都駅からも徒歩圏内（10分）なので、とても便利でした。また京都に来るときは利用したいです。 この金額でこのサービス、設備はとても充分なのですが、2つ困ったこととしては、 ①浴室のロッカーは100円が必要で、チェックイン時に配られる紙やエレベーター横の張り紙にも注意書きがあるのですが、チェックインの際にもお声がけいただけると良かったなと思いました。 私が浴室を利用している間だけでも、4名が100円玉を持ってきておらず、困っていました（私も、服を脱いでから気付き、また服を着て部屋に取りに戻りました）。 ②朝食のラストオーダー時間が（他ホテル等の平均時間より）早いので、もう少し延ばしてほしい。 ということです。ただ、今のままでも充分なコスパです。お勧めです。
