  Okay for a few days in Kyoto

  + Location was amazing, central and somewhat quiet! When support was needed we got quick help in Englisch via WhatsApp, nice water pressure and kitchen utilities came in handy

  − Felt a bit run down; room was dark and lights were also/white neon. When window was open we watched onto the wall of the building next door

• 8.0Ioan-Liviu · jp2026-10-07

  + Good location. Size of the room and facilities. Good water pressure in the shower. Washer/dryer in the bathroom (a little big and not so easy to operate though)

  − Check-in time is too late. Check-out time is too early. Please extend them both, or at least one of them.

• 8.0Vincent · de2026-10-07

  + Gute Lage, saubere Unterkunft

  − Kein Spiegel im Bad, Küche kann nicht voll genutzt werden ohne Zusatzkosten

• 8.0Paulina · de2026-09-18

  + Die Unterkunft ist sehr zentral. Man kann vielen zu Fuß erreichen. Supermärkte und Restaurants sind auch in der Nähe. Preis-Leistung war für zwei Nächte war super.

  − Leider war die Unterkunft schmutzig. Wir hatten ein Zimmer zur Straße. Morgens war es sehr laut durch den Straßenverkehr. Aber es lagen unten Ohrstöpsel kostenlos zur Verfügung. Das Hotel hat keine Rezeption, dh. Es gibt keine Ansprechperson wenn was sein sollte.

  A wonderful place to base ourselves when visiting Kyoto.

  + Fantastic location - not too close but not too far from everything. Lovely clean apartment, spacious room. Great amenities - fridge, washer and dryer

  − A bit hard to get fresh air in, but the apartment is well ventilated anyway.
