The staff are great and completely foreigner friendly. The beds are comfy and the bathroom is amazing! They have a variety of bathroom amenities for you to use if packing light. 10 minute taxi from Kyoto station & a load of shops within a 30 second walk.
I stayed in Hedistar hotel for two weeks and have nothing to complain about : the room is very clean, modern and we sleep well in it.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
The rooms were clean. Found some stains on the walls, the floors and in the bathroom, but that is acceptable.
The staff's service was pretty below average. The front desk did not speak English very well, and even made some unsavoury comments in Japanese not expecting us to speak Japanese too.
The amenities were pretty good; we made good use of the microwave there, and the coffee and water bar was great. Plus they have tons of manga, but if you don't know Japanese the selection will be VERY limited.
The room was very small, but that is expected of Japan.
The beds were pretty hard, but the cleanliness of the cleaning staff was commendable. They know how to make a bed very well!

Liked: Amenities
The room was small and the beds aren’t the most comfortable. Staff was nice and friendly. Location is the biggest highlight being very close to the castle and with tons of options for transportation.
My stay was excellent – the staff were warm and attentive, the room was spotless and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere made me feel truly welcomed. I’d be happy to return.
Loved this hotel!! Amenities were great and wonderful staff . Close to all the bus routes

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We liked that it was somewhat close to all the places we wanted to visit in Kyoto. There is a bus that is only a few stops away from the main street of Kyoto.
We did not like the fact that our blanket had 2 dried blood spots from a previous guest.
The beds felt thin and easy to make bed noises when moving around on it.
Great stay at the hedistar! Staff super helpful and the breakfast option was very delicious. Room was spacious (booked a 2 bed room). Towels and garbages cleaned every day but the room itself isn’t turned over every day. Would stay again!
