The room was spotless. the location was outstanding--I'd had some concerns not staying at a "Kyoto Station" hotel, but not only was transit very convenient here, you're steps away from the Pontocho Alley and about a 10" walk to the Gion district. I will say the wi-fi was not the most reliable and you are not able to get fresh air in the room at night (staff say there are safety concerns with opening the windows at night). The cafe and breakfast were also excellent with super friendly staff and breakfast at the right portions.

Great location and easy walk to shops and Nishiki market. The room definitely was style above function as to we had to remove a couple of the art pieces to be able to access areas of the room ( these were of course replaced on vacating). Staff were definitely less friendly than other hotels we had stayed in but they were helpful when needed. The bathroom and showers facilities were excellent. Would I stay here again- I’m afraid not.

It was the worst experience when I stayed in Japan. The room is very small, and there is no furniture, no phone. The service was terrible and significantly reduced in the name of environment protection. This hotel is marked as 4 stars in Expedia, but it is only two stars actually. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone.
