    Standard Double Room with Washing Machine
    Stayed 3 nights in September 2026

    “Exceptional”

    The hotel is great, the one I was most satisfied with during my trip to Japan. The hotel's location is not far from Karasuma Oike Station, and it's about a 10-minute walk to the commercial area. There is a 711 convenience store and a Starbucks downstairs, as well as restaurants. It offers free foot baths, and the beverage and coffee service is very thoughtful. Although the room is not large, it is very clean, and the bedding is comfortable. I highly recommend staying here.

    Standard Twin Room with Washing Machine
    Stayed 1 night in August 2026

    “The room is clean and spacious.”

    The room has a washing machine, which is sufficient for a long stay. However, it might be difficult to dry a lot of clothes since there isn't much space for that. The windows are large and allow a lot of light in, making it bright. However, it's surrounded by many apartment buildings, so it's quite visible. It was reasonably priced, and there are various shops nearby within walking distance, plus the station is close, making it convenient.

    “Great stay and location!”

    Hotel is very close to metro line and markets (Nishiki market, Gion). We had a very good experience - rooms have enough space and big beds with a good mountain view. Staff is very polite and helpful. They have free foot bath space open in the evenings which was very relaxing.

    “Near the station room Hiroshi”

    I stayed alone. I have nothing to say! The room and bed were spacious, and the room was equipped with a washing machine and microwave. This time, I didn't use the foot bath, but I think it would be great to relax with friends, family, or a partner. I would like to use it again♪
