As a solo female traveller, this accomodation was excellent. This hotel is located just a few steps from the Nishiki market and is very walkable to nearby shops and the metro. The amenities were great for the price and the staff was incredibly helpful with any questions I had. They also will hold your luggage/bags before and after checkout if needed. I felt safe and comfortable here. If I were to travel solo and if i had a tight budget again, I would choose the Pocket Hotel in Kyoto.

Nice and convenient

Great location for tourists, convenient and easy to find. Rooms are spacious. Better privacy and sound-proofing than most capsule hotels. Mattress and bedding are quite comfortable. Bathing area and toilets are very tidy, with frequent cleaning. Self check-in/out are available on two machines, but staff are also happy to help when needed

Safe accommodation for solo female

Hope the property can remind guests to close the doors gently or install soft closing door knobs. And would hope there's Japanese breakfast choice install of just 3 choice of sandwiches breakfast set. Hope the property can consider installing coin operated massage chair in the lobby. Love having new set of towels everyday. Well done! And it's a safe accommodation for solo female with designated floor for ladies with bathroom and toilet. Location is convenient to tourist spot. Would definitely stay again.
