Higashi-osaka Holidays

Great week spent here. Reasonably priced with all the things you need.

Pretty good hotel, only thing was the bathroom was super small for 2 people.

Kyoto is a big city, so lot of walking if not by the station. the bus was very useful. maybe if there was a rental bicycle at hotel I would definately use it. hotel was fine and will use it again.

This used to be the Ryokan Tomiya before taken over by M’s Hotel. Our first time staying at an M’s. It happened to be the first day it opened, too, so it was a brand new (renovated) room. The security to get in to the building is great. They hold luggage there for you if you get there early. It is at the northeast corner of Kyoto Station, using exit A5 (stairs only) and it’s immediately on your left side! So, it’s very convenient to get to the train/shinkansen/bus terminals. The room size is phenomenal for the price! So much space to sprawl checked baggage! The double bed performed well, although the head pillows were so soft to the point they flattened and needed to be re-fluffed. The efficiency of the room was amazing! Sink and mirror outside of the bathroom is top notch! Mini-fridge, electric kettle, coffee/tea are available along with their cute mugs. Desk space, two chairs, a small coffee table, one nightstand with a shelf, plugs on both sides of the bed. There is a balcony with safety bars; our view of the city from there was not good, but when you’re exploring Kyoto, it’s a moot point. Overall, cost performance is high! Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Kyoto!

The hotel felt like a condo not a hotel. It is self check in & out with the kiosk. As soon as you walk in the small lobby or reception area you are greeted with stored luggages for the day. Like most rooms in the hotel our room was small but comfortable enough and clean. The beds are a bit too firm for our liking. There is self serve brewed coffee & tea on the lobby which is nice. Other needed toiletries are available as well which you can pick up beside the coffee machine. Lots of nice restaurants in the are but they are small restaurants & therefore fill up quickly during dinner time. Hotel is easily walkable to the nearby subway station. There are a few convenient stores a block away as well. I love that there is a laundry facility in the hotel itself. One downfall is that they do not vacuum the hall ways frequently enough, we were there for 5 days & the same dirt/garbage were laying on the floor.
