Ideal location

Great location, Kyoto is very walkable from the Kabin. Windows don’t open, so can get a bit stuffy. Rooms are a good size for Japan

The room we stayed was spacious and we had enough room for the 3 of us. Check in was an easy process through the app and the staff was helpful during the times they are designated to be there. We liked that the hotel had laundry onsite and we were 16mins walk distance from multiple cultural sites.

Location was great. Four of us stayed. Too tight. NO counter space at all. NO freezer in small fridge. NO microwave in room. NO lamps or variable lighting. Seemed all lights were either on or off. Might be ok for 2.

We liked how small and lowkey this property is. It appears to be a newly converted hotel with only a few rooms across several floors. We only saw another guest once during our 5 night stay. The room itself was pretty basic and had two beds plus a sleeper sofa. We found some hair on the floor but overall the room was clean. Our favorite thing about the property was the location, as it is a 5 minute walk to public transit and there are several bars and restaurants right on the same street.
