Surprisingly, this hotel is really nice. It’s located near Kyoto Station, where you can easily catch a train or bus to get around Kyoto. Kyoto Station itself is a mall—you can eat, chill, and relax there. It has everything from department stores like Isetan to souvenir shops and restaurants. It’s also connected to Kyoto Porta, which offers plenty of food, restaurant, and café options.
The room is fully equipped, like a small studio apartment. It has a cooking stove, TV, and even a washing machine, along with a bathroom dryer (with cooling, heating, and ventilation functions). Some of the appliances are a bit old, and labels are in japanese but they work perfectly fine. Just use translation app to use them. The room is quite spacious for me, and the bed is comfortable. The receptionists are very polite and tries their best to accommodate your needs.
One thing to note: you can’t store luggage after checkout. But you can head to Kyoto Station and rent a locker, which is affordable—starting as low as 500 yen depending on the locker size.
I really like this hotel and would definitely stay here again if I ever come back to Kyoto.
