If you’re coming from cities where hotel rooms are more spacious, be prepared—rooms and bathrooms here in Japan can feel quite compact, even for a single guest. That said, this hotel makes up for it in many ways. It’s clean, well-maintained, and the front desk staff are exceptionally friendly and always willing to help or answer questions. Having a translation app handy definitely makes communication smoother.
The breakfast is a standout, offering a wide variety of delicious options to start your day right. Overall, despite the smaller room size, the service and quality make it a great place to stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose this hotel again on my next visit to Kyoto.

Very clean and quiet location. Very helpful staff from front desk to dining room. Buffet breakfast was highlight of the day.
Location is very close to Fushimi Inari. However , need to take the train to Kyoto Station.

The lobby and hallway are a little cramped and dated, but don't be fooled; they hide a clean, comfortable hotel room 5 minutes from the keihan line and 15 minutes from fushimi inari shrine. The staff were very kind and were patient with my slow Japanese as I checked in. Really a lovely stay.

Urban hotel was a nice hotel with the amenities you expect of a hotel, plus a coin operated laundromat on two different floors. It’s close to train stations and Fushimi Inari shrine. The staff were always pleasant and greeted you each time you entered.

This was further away from Kyoto than I realised. But the room was clean and the breakfast was great. There was a funny smell (damp I think), and the hotel rooms could do with a refresh, but it was fine for a couple of nights.

Pros-
Friendly and helpful staff
Well maintained
Good location (near to Fushimi Inari)
Allows keeping luggage for few hours after checkout
Cons-
Hotel doesn't provide water bottles in room. Though they have water dispenser available in the reception.
Compact rooms but I guess that's common for Japan.

This was a tale of 2 properties. The staff and food were great, the property itself was marginal. Very tiny room, no hot water on arrival (fixed by staff), very noisy bathroom fan, but worst of all, some kind of god-awful industrial burnt-wire, overflowing ashtray smell that would pervade the room in the middle of the night. And it wasn't just us. Others mentioned it too. It would eventually go away with the bathroom extraction fan running flat out but it took at least an hour and it was in the middle of the night, so sleep was affected. And with pillows like sand bags, that didn't help. I wouldn't stay here again.

It is an older building but the actual facilities were physically clean and the staff service was top notch. The hallways and rooms had a very musty smell which did not go away. It was slightly inconvenient to move around with luggage but it was chosen for its affordable price and close proximity to the Fushimi Inari Shrine (10-15 minute walk). It mostly a residential neighbourhood so it's very quiet.

Nothing of interest really close by. A good 10 minute walk to Inari but thats only worth a visit once. Handy for the transport.
My room had a terrible smoke smell on the firat night. The whole floor did. I spent the night coughing. I complained the next morning and requested a move saying i would return by 9pm. To their credit they moved my belongings to a room on a dufferent oor and it was far better.
