The hotel is well situated: 20 min by foot from railway station, 17 min from Nishiki market, 10 min from direct train to Nara and 15 from direct train to Osaka. The street on which the hotel is placed is quite, so we had a really good sleep. The room was clean, staff friendly and helpful - our daughter got sick from some food that she ate day before and we were allowed to check in earlier w/o additional fee.

Our air conditioner was broken: condensed water was dropping, which was a bit annoying.

Room was comfortable. Small, but was manageable. The property had mentioned in the booking that checkin ends at 10pm. But due to some traffics on the way to Kyoto we were late for the checkin. But it was not a problem and they had kind of self checkin approach. (There was a person to assist though 😇) But being flexible for the checkin time was a big relief for us. There was no metro near by. But there were bus stops closer.

Nothing to tell about the property

Surprisingly, this hotel was more than we'd expected it to be. The rooms are very spaceious, it's in a cute street where (I think) Japanese people live as well. It's around a 20 to 25 minutes walk to the city centre which is fine or you we're also able to take the subway which was a 3 minutes walk. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was very clean and had a bath tub which we love! We used it many times after a long day of walking. We didn't hear any noise from other residents or from the area. It was very quiet. We also felt very safe since you get a code upon checking in for both the front door and the door to our room.

I wish we were able to chill in the main area which now only provides two seating spots. I think it would be great if they'd create a lounge area where you can eat your dinner or meet other people. Also, we didn't see man of the personnel. It would make me more comfortable seeing them more or at the front desk. I know this is the entire purpose of the hotel but its makes it bit more personal :)

Great location, easy to use check in, really good room size for the price. The bathroom was modern and we liked having the tub. I would stay here again!

Unfortunately I think our bathroom had some serious mold issues or water damage. It just smelled really bad and no amount trying to air it out changed the smell. We just had to keep the door closed and brave the smell when using the bathroom. I still rated the hotel highly because I would expect it was just an issue with our 1 room/bathroom.

Spacious room for japanese standard. The hotel and the room are clean. Simple but efficient check-in and check-out with a machine. Location is good: * less than 5 min from Gojo subway station * only 20 min by walk for Kyoto main station * 15 min by walk to Nishiki market * rental bicycle nearby * Ministop konbini at 50m (I don't really like Ministop but it's ok)

Check-in with a machine ok if you got your reservation number that I didn't know where to find it in my reservation with booking.com ... needed the staff to find it. Baggage storage: open service to every one, you must lock your luggage with a locker as a bicycle. The drawback is that anyone can access to your luggage. Not so safe solution. Of course in Japan it is safe ... but in Kyoto, there are many foreign tourists.

Great location, super close from the subway station and all sorts of attractions were nearby/within walking distance. As well, it was located in a fairly quiet street, so I was able to sleep quite well. Although it was very minimalistic with barely any staff, everthing seemed to run smoothly. Finally, the facilities were great and there were even some mangas and games for enterntainment.

The walls were a bit thin, so we needed to be very careful with noise, and were able to hear others. The shower curtains were a bit flimsy, so there was a bit of leakage. I would love to have a window in the room.

We were lucky because the receptionist when we entered was Tommy. He was very friendly. The beds were comfortable. We appreciated the free deserts. Location is pretty good. The nearest station is only one stop away from Kyoto Station, which was very convenient. It’s also convenient that the locks to the hotel is a pass code. We also liked the pajamas/robes. We are definitely choosing M’s hotel again when we come back to Japan.

I made a last-minute booking because of change in my schedule. I'm glad I found this. The guy at the front desk was curt but efficient. I like the layout of the room which has three twin beds with room to walk in between. The room was not spacious but big enough to accommodate the three of us and our four mid-sized suitcases. Very clean. There's also a washing machine inside. Location was great. It was walking distance from the subway and the railway station, and a lot of the cultural sites in the area.

Check-in was very convenient being automated, and you could order new towels through the QR code link. There's also a rack with bike locks in reception for securing your suitcase if you arrive early or want to stay after checkout without having to lug it around the city. There's also 2 washer/dryers (coin-operated) and 1 microwave on the ground floor. Nice and quiet, clean, easy walk to a bus stop, and very spacious rooms (compared to what you usually find in Japan).

In hindsight we would have went for something closer to the centre of town or closer to a train station. Rooms also seem to have a very small allocation of hot water.

Very Clean. But no staff because everything like check in/out and front door access was automated. Had I known that, i would have chosen to stay at a hotel with a front desk staff. For example, to get a taxi, had to walk to a main street and flag one down. With no staff, no luggage room. With no staff, no one to ask questions like where's a pharmacy or how do I get to Ryoanji or Teramachi or where to go to get breakfast? With no services, I thought the hotel rate was a little high.
