Hotel was very comfortable to stay in. It is right next to Gojo station exit 8 as well as a bus stop so was very convenient. Staff could communicate in basic english well and had leaflets in english with any details. Buffet breakfast was a nice spread that had small changes on the dishes daily. Towels and bath amenities are all provided. There were also pillow options and pajamas at the check in lobby.

I really enjoyed the hotel and the area. Very easy access from Kyoto Station and Gion (and a subway station as well), close to some really nice and walkable neighborhoods. Having a convenience store on the same block was a plus! The breakfast is very Japanese, but the pastries and coffee were good. Super close to 2 big temples as well.

Awesome hotel.
The hotel is great. Right next to the subway station so great if you are backpacking. The hotel held our bags for us even after checkout. Free breakfast was delicious and the coffee was strong. We liked it so much the first night we rebooked it for another night. The room itself is small but I liked it very much. We slept in the Japanese style room.

Great service and location. Good bang for ur buck.
Amazing location, only 1 station from Kyoto station whereas the station entrance is literally next door to the hotel. Surrounded by restaurants and conbinis a stones throw away. The service from the various staff at the hotel was also top tier. The breakfast was nothing special, has your typical Japanese items. The room itself was spacious for what I paid for and clean. Also had a few interesting quirks like a desk, an ethernet plug + cord, a printer of sorts, and a flashlight attached to the bed frame. What bothered me slightly was the fact that the door was maybe an inch off the ground, i.e. the sound and light from the corridor easily leaked in and I could imagine that it would also leak out quite easily. Additionally, the room window was immediately pointed at the next building a little over a meter away, not much to look at really. Might have been just my room that was the closest to the elevator but these are the main reason for why I could not give 5 stars. Other than that I had quite a pleasant stay.
