The location is extremely good; I would definitely stay here again. Great sized room for a family of five if you don't mind sharing double beds. The bunk bed was a little hot at the top level but the air con was cold, that's just Kyoto summer for you! The large window and the night view was great, the washing machine was very clean and useful. Familymart literally on the doorstep. The toiletries are plentiful and good quality. My only issue I could find was the patchy WiFi and the TV not working via internet, only local channels, but I'm sure the staff would have fixed it (I did not ask for help as I didn't need to use it). The staff are friendly, the free coffee/water/ice machine is good in summer. The shower is large and the water is hot enough. Overall this is one of the best places we have stayed!
Great location, central to everything, good condition of town house, not sure what the spare room was used for though as it had one instrument in and that was it. Bathing facilities were nice but there were a few mosquitos which put a small dampner on it (though the air con was great).
A wonderful hotel in a quiet neighbourhood in Kyoto. Super family friendly and very well set up. Great to rent items like a rice cooker or iron, and to have the laundry room in the building. Staff were really friendly and helped us numerous times. Would highly recommend!
Amazing hotel. Location perfect. Room very spacious. Has a wardrobe and kitchenette, including a washing machine. Really handy. Bed was comfy. The best sleep we had in Japan. We'd stay here again and recommend.
Awesome aparthotel - great little apartment, incredibly well-designed and thought out, very clean. Perfect for family (of 4) with fridge-freezer, hob, kettle. Think there was an oven too but we didn’t use it. Could borrow a toaster. Friendly and helpful front desk staff - they helped us book somewhere for dinner.
Only minor issues were that it could be a little noisy at night from traffic on the main road (we were 5th floor) and the washer-dryer did a great job at washing and a truly awful job at drying! Washing was left damp and smelly at the end of drying cycle (not overloaded at all). Re-washed and hung to dry instead and that worked well with the bathroom extractor on (I borrowed an extra airer). So convenient to have your own washer though. Would stay again and recommend. Location was excellent for exploring and eating out - we walked lots of places - nearest underground was maybe 10-15 mins walk.
I had a very pleasant and memorable 5 night stay in this spacious, comfortable and very well maintained apartment/hotel. It's location is on a quiet street, but is centrally located to all major cultural destinations, restaurants and shopping opportunities. The kitchen, bathrooms, washing machine, toilets and bed were all very high quality and allowed for total self-containment. It was very easy to get taxis, take the subway or catch a bus to any of the numerous temples, monasteries and palaces that give Kyoto such a worthy reputation for cultural explorations. Special mention must be made to the english speaking staff who were very friendly, professional and helpful with all requests for assistance, advice and insight. Five days in Kyoto confirmed that I must come back for an even deeper dive someday and I'll certainly return to this excellent facility when I do. Highly recommended!
