Shimogyo Ward

10/10 Excellent

The room is extremely big and generously sized. Most of the bathrooms in Japan I’ve stayed in were tiny but this one had a huge bathroom which was certainly appreciated. It even comes with a Dyson hair dryer. Service staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There are also a multitude of items for free rental such as coffee machines, games, massage guns. The location is a short walk to the main Kyoto station and located on a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle. Definitely will come...

we stayed in the sea room with my wife and son. From what I see it's the one with the least amount of games, yet it was fantastic. we really loved the layout and the decor is perfect for a child. I can say with absolute certainty it was my son favorite hotel during our entire trip in Japan. he was delighted to sleep on a boat bed with Mr. Otopus and climbing up and down the boat chimney. The kids drawing books, sleepers and kid toothbrush were also a plus.and the interactive game on the wall in...

10/10 Excellent

We were quite skeptical as there was only one review found prior to our stay. Totally out of my expectation, the accommodation is superb! The location is just less than 5 minutes easy walk from JR Nijo Station, the big supermarket, drug stores and 24-hour convenience store are within 2 minutes of walking. The room is very new and clean, the bathtub, toilet and laundry area are all separated, clean and modern layout. The door lock system is easy and secured also. However, the accommodation has...
