“The hotel's location in Kyoto's Shimogyo Ward places guests within easy reach of key attractions and JR Kyoto Station. While some guests have reported issues with cleanliness and policies regarding tattoos, the multilingual staff and 24-hour front desk are definite advantages. In my opinion, the hotel's commitment to safety, with 24-hour security and non-smoking rooms, makes it suitable for those prioritizing a secure environment.”

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

friendly staffinefficient dryermusty smell

The staff were friendly and tried to be accommodating (despite some issues I encountered).

My room was not very cute. It felt small and there was a musty smell. the dryer in the laundromat didn't work well. My clothes remained damp for almost two days.
