Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.

“Great spot for a few nights in Kyoto. Plenty of shops and convenience stores around, and subway and bus stops are within walking distance, which made getting around easy. The room felt more spacious than most Japanese hotels, and the staff were friendly and helpful. They also took Visa, which was handy.”

“Perfect base for sightseeing and trying out great local restaurants. The staff are attentive and always willing to help. Rooms are basic but comfortable, with heating you can control and a typical Japanese bathroom. I liked that they cleaned regularly and swapped towels every two days. The breakfast was a nice bonus to start the day.”

“The location is ideal for exploring – just steps from Sanjo Station and a shopping area. Even though it's a busy part of town, the hotel is surprisingly quiet. Everything was spotless, and I appreciated the charging plugs by the bed. The staff speak excellent English and are very accommodating. Highly recommend it.”
