Comfortable room. The in room washing machine was a bonus because we thought it was a shared laundry. Kitchen area was great for cooking basic meals.

Nice studio with everything we needed and more spacious than some places we’ve stayed.
However we were told you could not leave bags so we had the inconvenience of leaving bags in lockers at station as we were only thrrr for a day. They also didn’t reply to my email until after we left when I asked if we could leave bags after checkout. Didn’t make for a very welcoming stay which is a shame as the place is pretty comfortable
Lots of rules!

Lovely place to stay, a little out of the way of central Kyoto but still would recommend a stay. Washing machine in the room was super helpful, there's even a machine to get washing liquid capsules in the lobby. Walking distance to a launderette if needed for drying clothes.
We got the address wrong on our luggage we had forwarded and the Rest Inn was able to call up and get it sorted for us. It was delivered within a few hours.
Positives:
The room was bigger than the one in Tokyo (however, this doesn't say much since Tokyo hotel rooms are the size of full-sized American cars :)). The room was very clean and well-maintained. It had a kitchen with utensils and a reasonable-sized fridge. The bathroom was well equipped with several soaps and towels. There was fast in-room wifi as well.
Negatives:
The neighborhood was extremely blah. Our first cab driver couldn't even find the hotel properly. There were no metro stops close by and so we had to resort to taking buses everywhere. The buses take forever to reach the destination and so we ended up spending a lot of time just commuting.
There was hardly anyone at the front-desk to even ask any questions. In fact, we met someone exactly once (during our check-in). The property did not have elevators and so we had to lug our huge luggages 2 stories up.
Overall, you get what you pay for. If yours is a budget trip, then I would gladly go for this "no-frills" property. But if you are time-crunched and would like to pay more to have better access and comfort, I would find something else.

L'endroit idéal
Excellent séjour à Kyoto grâce à cet hôtel super sympa, situé dans un coin calme de la ville mais très bien desservi par les bus. La chambre est spacieuse et confortable, idéal pour se ressourcer après une journée à visiter la ville.
Mitten im Wohngebiet gelegen. Daher wenig touristische Einrichtungen. Zimmer sehr klein.

Hôtel impersonnel et situé dans un quartier peu accueillant (quasiment pas de commerces à proximité). La chambre est fonctionnelle mais sombre car on nous a attribué celle du rez-de-chaussée. Il y a un coin cuisine mais il faut apporter son thé car aucun sachet n'est à disposition. Les horaires départ/arrivée sont très peu pratiques, d'autant plus qu'il n'y a pas de consigne bagage.
