“Right next to the train station”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

We took the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto and just walked across the street and there was the hotel. 16000 yen a night. Reception on the 3rd floor. Room is small but very comfortable. Problems again with the sink. Too low. Knees hit when using a wheelchair. Toilet also, is rather low, hard to transfer back to the whelchair. i used a pride power chair. You might have problems in Japan with a manual chair, since they are wider. There is a mall 3 blocks away. Rather sophisticated and expensive. We arrived on Sunday, went to the Geisha show (just ok), hired a guide on Monday (LET`S GO TAXI) wheelcahir accessible, to show us Nara and Kyoto. On Tuesday we took the bullet train to Hiroshima and back on the same day. Do not miss the atomic bomb Peac Memorial. It is breath taking. On Wednesday we took the train back to Kyoto.

“Just great!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

The hotel is in a very convenient location, just opposite JR station, and huge shopping mall. Very new, clean and modern. Great facilities and everything works perfectly. Comfy bed. Spotless room and bathroom. Impressive toilet amenities.

The room is rather small but it's normal for Japan. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely book here again if we go back to Kyoto.

Staff was helpful and spoke English well.

“Ideal for Japanese Business Persons”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

Useful location opposite railway station and with a buffet Japanese breakfast for those on the run.Tiny bedrooms and no public lounges or other public areas does not make this a tourist hotel.Staff at check in were helpful and breakfast adequate but travelling as a couple makes it hard to move around in the room,especially with any suitcases

Room Tip: Tourists should book elsewhere unless travelling solo

“Perfect hotel near the JR Station”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and thought it was great. The only downfall I had was that it didn't have a Western Style Buffet, but wasn't a big deal, since the JR Station has plenty of other restaurants to pick from.

The room was a decent size, and so was the bathroom. The hotel is perfectly located next to two malls, the JR Station and lots of restaurants. We could open the window in our room, which was great since most hotels in Japan that I stayed in, we could not.

The hotel was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
