My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was superb, being very close to Kyoto Station and various transport options, the rooms were quite small and not ideal, making it a bit challenging for two people. The service was excellent with a friendly and helpful staff, but the dining options, although good, could use some improvement for everyday meals.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and surprisingly quiet despite the busy traffic outside, allowing for a restful night's sleep. However, the design of the room could be improved for better functionality. The location was superbly convenient for accessing public transport options, making it easy to explore Kyoto.

The hotel is in a convenient location right across Kyoto Station, surrounded by numerous restaurants and always buzzing with activity, making it a great place to stay. The rooms are on the smaller side, but recommend booking a twin room even for single occupancy to ensure a more comfortable stay. The service is friendly and accommodating, with a few young clerks in the lobby who are always ready to assist. The dining options are decent, offering a variety of choices, but some dishes may lack flavor. Overall, a well-located hotel with cozy rooms and good service.

The hotel gave us a brilliant view of the area around Kyoto train station, which looked amazing at night. The staff worked hard to get us into a non-smoking room as soon as possible. However, the lobby and some rooms appeared worn out. The location is excellent, just across from Kyoto station, with easy access to dining areas, shopping malls, and public transport.
