The hotel looked fairly knew. It was bright and shiny. Our room was a really good size. It was a 15 minute walk to shopping and 2 buses to some of the temples but overall, I thought it was one of the nicer ones that we stayed in. A snack bar or light lunch restaurant would be great within the facility. There was always someone on duty at the desk that spoke English. I liked it!

This was our favourite hotel on our Japan trip. We had a lovely 2 night stay here. While it is a bit of a walk from Kyoto station, there is no problem getting a taxi and the 15 minute walk down the street is nice anyway. The room was clean, tidy, big enough for my wife and I and the hotel also has segregated Japanese bath house facilities, which I used twice. Luxury, especially after a day sightseeing and walking the Gion district searching for Geisha! Highly recommended.

I stayed in a semi-double (single occupancy) which was by far the biggest hotel room I stayed in Japan for around 12500 yen.
Reception staff were very polite and helpful and provided city maps with travel directions for sightseeing. Location was pretty good, about 15-20 minutes walk from the railway station or 1 subway stop heading north (Gojo)
There was no internet access but directions were given to a public facility less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel next to Gojo subway station.
Breakfast was not included so I cannot comment on the restaurant. Normally I don't use the hotel minibar, but prices were so reasonable I had a couple of chilled beers at 290 yen each.
10 minutes walk from the railway station...
10 minutes walk from the railway station or 3 minutes to the subway station.
Room was rather small for two persons (compared to other hotels, it was a single room).
Modern hotel, very friendly service, extremely clean and well maintained, helpful staff.
I think it is rather a business hotel, for tourists it is quite expensive.
The hotel was 3 blocks away from...
The hotel was 3 blocks away from Kyoto station, or a stop away using the metro. It was convenient to catch all the sightseeing buses, and the people who worked there were SUPER helpful and nice (they also spoke very reasonable English).
The room was small but not terribly so, and in any case in a city so full of interesting cultural spots you probably won't spend a lot of time indoors.
I will definitely stay there again.
we were well helped at the information...
we were well helped at the information desk, and for example we asked where we could eat. The bar at night was very poor, breakfast was oké. most of the staf members didn't speak any engles but they were always triying to find someone to help us out.
My wife and I stayed at this...
My wife and I stayed at this hotel from the 09 Mar 06 for 4 nights. The hotel staff were most courteous, polite and more than willing to help with any of our requests. The room is of average size but your only there to sleep because there is so much to see in Kyoto. There are two major areas for shopping from the hotel at each end of the main intersection (MacDonalds corner)and are within 15 minutes of leisure walking. Eating at little eaters are a MUST, good value and great selection. Train station and subway is also close to the hotel. The bathroom is small and compact (ensuite size) but has everything. TV channels are in Japanese and interesting to watch. We would definitely stay at this hotel again. A big THANK YOU to the staff.

New hotel with an unusual good outer design (at least for Japanese hotels ...). Located within walking distance to the subway station and for good walkers also to Kyoto station (Taxi 640 Yen) and to the Kiyomizudera area. Large, clean and comfortable rooms. The public bath at the 13th floor is great - if you expect (and like) a Japanese style hot bath. All in all a good choice with reasonable prices. Breakfast (1750 Yen) not included - save the money and visit one of the coffee shops. Remarkable (!!!) disadvantage especially for business travellers: There is no LAN oder WLAN access.
