Nice, clean, and modern hotel. They have lots of manga to read in the lobby that you.can sign out and take up to your room to read or even up to the little rooftop terrace they have if you want. Room was small and space efficient which suited me just fine because I wasn't going to Japan to live in a hotel. A complaint I have would be the mattress and pillow were super hard and uncomfortable, but after walking around all day that didn't stop me from passing out. Also that street sounds were pretty loud, but again, I had no problem falling asleep. All in all a decent little hotel and I would still stay again if I was back in the area.

Lovely hotel, great staff, very clean. I especially enjoyed the lobby area where there were bookshelves full of manga, which you are able to take to your hotel room with you to read, and there are even some manga in English! 10/10

4.5/5 Excellent customer service. The staff speaks English and they offer luggage transfer services for a very reasonable price. The room is small, but it met my need. The bed is hard, but it’s actually very good for the back (better for my back than my super soft bed at home). The bathroom is compact, but the tub is actually quite large. The terrace is cute. The breakfast is Japanese style, they also have coffee and tea. The manga selection for non Japanese speakers isn’t great. The location is pretty convenient, there’s a family mart and a 7-11 just a few steps away. And a few central bus lines. Close to nijo castle and few minute bus ride from Gion. I would stay again. If the bed were soften and the room a little larger, I'd give it 5 stars.

There's a Lawsons and a 7/11 right near the hotel so getting snacks late at night is a breeze! They have self serve tea/coffee complimentary near reception so it makes it nice to have when you're reading their manga selection. They have only 2 washer/dryer combos starting at 100yen per 30 min cycles but when we went, 1 broke down and started leaking but they got it fixed right away. The beds are really hard and hurt my back as I laid on them but all in all it's a nice hotel. Kind of a walk from the closest JR station but it's a nice location.

Love that there are even a few English comic options to borrow. Rooms designed for reading and a small free drink bar. The beds are firm. I liked it but may not be for everyone.

I had a great stay. It was so nice to have a small bathtub. The room/bed was small but expected in Japan and I didn't fell like I needed anymore space. It was quiet and the staff were super helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here. I stayed as a solo female and felt super safe. The rooftop garden is also nice.

It was a cute hotel with lots of comic books to borrow! It's mostly in Japanese with a small selection in English (Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia etc). We paid extra for breakfast and it was delicious! There is an included tea and coffee bar at the lobby, and a vending machine. Price is also very reasonable. We stayed in a two twin beds room; the space by the bed is decent but the space by the washroom, in the washroom, and the counter area is a bit tight. Air conditioning works fine and the room and bed were comfortable. There is in house coin laundry but the machines are a bit weak. Within 10 min walk there is a conbini, a few restaurants, and Nijo castle. Overall it's a comfortable hotel and I would consider staying here again.

The room was small and well furnished. There was plenty of hot water for a bath around 2300. The lighting is somewhat unintuitive. You have to stick your room keycard into an illuminated slot in the room in order to turn on the lights and anything else that uses electricity. Some of the staff didn’t seem that good at English, but you can easily manage despite that. The laundromat takes coins (only 100 yen if I believe), so be prepared for that. There is a Lawson’s less than a minute away, and I believe a bus stop less than a minute away. There are also guides, maps, and amenities on the first floor. The bed is firm. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience and I would get a room here again!

This is a modern, clean hotel and although the rooms are on the small size, a great deal of thought has gone into maximising the use of the available space and making it comfortable, functional and stylish. The only dislike was that the air conditioning seemed to switch off or re-set it self during the early hours of the morning requiring it to be re-set. Eventually I gave up during the night and just opened the window as it was quite outside. Would stay again if I was back in Kyoto Japanese style breakfast was different and enjoyable. Liked that tea and coffee was available in the lobby all day. English tea was also available in the lobby to take back to and make in the room. Centrally located in Kyoto and very near train and tube stations and with a bus stop 100 m away. really good location for sight seeing

This hotel is about 15-20 minutes from Kyoto station by bus or the subway. It’s a small room by American standards, but well thought out. It has a nice flat screen TV, a heated toilet seat, with warm water rinse for your tushy. Everything appears new, and in good working order. The staff is very professional, and extremely helpful. I honestly have no suggestions for any improvements. It’s perfect for me. I would definitely stay here again.
