recently stayed at the Mitsui garden, great location, quite cheap, huge choice of breakfast buffet. BUT the receptionist whos name I can't spell but sounds like Tsito, was amazing. My friend lost his phone on a train, and because my Japanese is non existant she phoned around the railway stations we'd been through located the phone and brought up a... More

I stayed here as a solo traveler in early January, on a mission to see as many temples and shrines I could in my 3 days in Kyoto. I had a single occupancy room, which was cozy and had everything I needed for my brief stay. I booked via there website, which was a bit of a pain, because, you... More

I stayed there with my family when they came to Japan. The room was not the biggest, around 22 meter squared for the three of us. There were three of us and they kindly added another bed in the double room. They charged us 4300yen/person per day when I went there. Most Japanese hotel charge you by the number of... More

I have to agree with most of the previous reviews; the hotel is located close to the subway exit, close to the main street(s). My room offered a nice view over the Shijo neighborhood. Staff is friendly, speaks decent English and offered good advice on getting around. Room (double) was around 20m2 with a large working desk and a comfortable... More

Great location. Only several minutes walk from the stations. I chose this hotel because of their Japanese bath. My husband loves Japanese style bath so we absolutely enjoyed staying here. Buffet breakfast costs only 1300Yen and very tasty. There are convenient stores in the area which is also very handy. More

This hotel is nice. They have the Japanese hot bath which was excellent. The hotel staff are kind, polite and efficient and speaks reasonable English. The rooms are clean and roomy, the bathroom and toilet are of normal size to western point of view. Location is good, lots of restaurant, shops and subway stations. More

After reading earlier reviews on this hotel, we decided to give this hotel a run for our money and we were truly glad we did. This hotel had a pleasant and spacious reception area and the staff were all sufficiently friendly. Although the staff spoke minimal English, communication wasn't a problem at all. Ours was a non-smoking, semi-double room on... More

I was there already twice and both times I enjoyed my staying. The rooms are small (normal size for Japan) but confortable. The rooms are very clean, service is always willing to help. Location of the hotel is 5 minutes by feet far away from the Shijo subway station and in walking distance to the shopping malls area. Breakfast buffet... More

In Japan, there are few places we have tried (from Japan to Osaka) but this is definately one of our favourite. It is just a few steps from Gion, right near the major shopping areas. It is only 10min from the Kyoto station, so very very excellent choice for us. There are many bus outside the hotel which can take... More
