We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. I loved how the room included a washer for our dirty clothes. It was really convenient since our total trip to Japan was 15 days.
The location of this hotel was also located near this really cute shopping street with a bunch of food places.
We would definitely stay here again.

Highly recomend
The hotel is clean and very spacious. It is a 30 minutes walk from the main busy markets. We were able to leave our luggage before we were able to check in, that was very helpful.

Well equipped and very clean facility for a family with elementary kids. Close to metro, grocery store, ice cream and small restaurants. Walkable to Gion and Kiyomizu-dera.

Central NY comes to Kyoto.
Our stay was wonderful. Everybody was very welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect for what we wanted. Located in a quiet neighborhood with access to lots of shrines, temples, restaurants, subway, grocery store. The soaking tub and the washing machine were really nice amenities, and the heated toilet seat sold us on the whole deal.The only real issues were the security light kept going on and off because it was motion sense and there wasn’t any way to stop that so every time we moved it went on. Also the TV was in a very difficult situation to be able to use given the layout of the room. And lastly, there was no sitting area or small couch. But we did have two large beds in the room and otherwise everything was absolutely stunningly perfect.

VERY loud. Ground floor room. You hear constant noise from guest above you and on the side of you. You sleep when they go to sleep and you wake when they wake up.
The place seemed great until 4 am the first morning when the upstairs guest woke up. It was jarring to say the least how there was no sound proofing and every step they took or every door they closed was a loud boom.
We alerted the staff (which we never do) and they actually came in the room and heard the noise and agreed with us. By the time we went to confirm our move the next day (and packing up to do so) we were told we could not be moved.
We looked at other places to move to but held out hope that it was just a loud guest. It was not the guest but the building itself.
If you are given a ground floor room do not accept it unless you don’t mind a lot of noise.

Very conveniently located walking distance to the old town and the shopping area. It is a decent size apartment for Japanese standards. What we didn't like was the darkness of the apartment. There is only 1 window very close to the next building. The kitchen is fully equipped but there is not a table or a chairs to sit on. Also there are not tea/coffee bags provided. The apartment is not serviced but that was expected. It feels like Airbnb accommodation.

Everything was amazing except for you could hear the noise from up above. The stomping and running around of kids or people staying right above you. We loved how everything was functional and useful
Great staff, rooms were very clean and affordable. Overall a very pleasant stay

Our stay here over the few days was great. Room and bathroom were spacious and the ability to do laundry all in the room was excellent. Really short walk to the subway station and walking distance to major shrines, shopping, dining and attractions. Definitely would stay again and absolutely recommend.

조용한 골목길에 위치하고 있어 주변이 조용하고, 숙소 바로 앞에 지하철이 있어서 지하철을 이용하여 아라시야마 관광을 편하게 할 수 있어 좋았습니다.
그리고 도보로 기온거리까지 갈 수 있어서, 저녁에 맛집도 찾아가고 쇼핑도 할 수 있는 즐거움이 있었습니다.
