Convenient location
Liad, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great staff and amenities stated. It was close to major attractions and public transportation. Would definitely stay again
Liliana, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The great location right in Gion makes this a great base to explore this area of the city as well as give access to subway and bus lines. The room and service was good as well.
Andreas, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice spacious room. Not able to adjust a/c so the room got pretty cold. Not the cleanest hotel I’ve been to but was fine. They helped us send our luggage to our next hotel which was super helpful! Super convenient location in Kyoto! Tiny bathroom/toilet.
Ylva Huru, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location especially during Sakura season. Close to Shinkyogoku Shopping Street, Kamo River and Yasaka Shrine.

Great Room-spacious and comfortable

Suitable stay

Ok hotel. There is a city accomodation tax which is not included in your payment through hotels.com. the location was convenient.
kevin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Perfect location. Close to shopping and restaurants. Rooms need a brighter look. All brown seems too dreary and old Bathroom the smallest I’ve encountered tested in Japan. .
LORETTA, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location was perfect, right above the metro station entrance. many bars/ restaurants and convenient stores nearby. walking distance to Gion district. The beds were clean but the carpets especially in the corners were dusty. The price was definitely reasonable tho.
Artur, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is in an excellent location. Coming from Osaka by train the station is literally up the stairs. Very clean and well run with front desk being very helpful with advice,directions and bus #. Highly recommend for those reason. Mattress especially hard and not for people with back issues…for me!
Gary, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

The location next to Nishiki and Teramchi is fantastic. Food shopping and transportation proximity is the best. There is a taxi stand access the street and it’s on top of a station. The room, bed, bathroom and ability to control temperature of the room were not great. I would say it’s a 2 ⭐️ hotel in that regard.
Jack, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is really good, right next to shopping streets and shopping centers and bus stops. I got a corner room so can be a little noisy and space is at odd angles. And there's not enough lighting in the room. Otherwise, the bed is good, there's hairdryer and kettle and study desk.
Hue, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed a 3 night stay at Kyoto Central in the Japanese Western Suite B with 2 Queen and 2 twin futon. Ample space for 4 people. Front desk is on 2nd floor, staff were kind & efficient and our sent bags were waiting. Small elevator or stairs from street into the hotel. Our room was on 2nd which was convenient to walk past the ice machine and laundry room. The separate toilet room was quite small to close the door at your knees. Tub/shower combo was nice, towels little thin. Mini fridge in closet and table with floor cushion/seat back we moved to lay out futons. A little small when opening luggage for four people. Nice view of main street, lots of shopping/dining at Pontocho Alley, Nishiki Market & Kawaramachi right out the door. Taxi depot across street - short ride to Kiyomizu Temple. Transit from Gion-shijo station to Fushimi-inari Station was 220Yen. We would stay here again, the location is great!
Michelle, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I don’t know why some people give such negative review on this hotel. It is what it is, a cheap hotel. Yes the hall stank of cigarettes but out room didn’t. Go 2 minutes out of the hotel and buy some incense if it botherss you. Yes it wasn’t the most slick room but it had comfortable bed, clean sheets and enough space, the shower was hot, the fridge was colder than our novatel. But the best thing was it suited my our needs in fact we extended our stay and the location couldn’t get better. For food, shopping and transport. Some people might whine about the road noise or the room temperature as it didn’t have A/C but for the price suck it up and out go pay double elsewhere.

It’s a bit old but conveniently located and good value for money. Room was nicely air conditioned but corridor was very hot and humid.
Kaori, 1-night trip

Super convenient better than Kyoto JR Station to visit places in the city.
Jeff, 5-night trip

Jody, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The laundry was inefficient — they only have two washers and two dryers for a large number of rooms. They also impose time limits on using the machines, which, while understandable, can be frustrating when you have several people sharing a room and a lot of laundry to do. We were basically told to stop using the dryer even though our clothes were still wet.
