Perfect stay
Our stay was amazing. We booked a shared room and it was comfortable. The communal bathrooms were very very clean and very very nice. The water pressure and temp are perfect. 10/10 recommend. I wish we were in the area longer!

Excellent family accommodation
A bunk room was perfect for our family of four. The whole hotel was kept spotless during our stay. Staff were friendly and helpful, and a late check-in (11pm) caused no problems. Our rate included a decent breakfast (western or Japanese style) at the friendly restaurant a few seconds from the hotel. Great location right next to Gojo subway station, and easily walkable from Kyoto station too.

Super convenient location… practically on top of the metro station entrance. Nice hotel with nice amenities. Pajamas and slippers included, a breakfast place down the street, laundry, clean bathrooms, I would definitely stay here again.

Wow, I did not expect that a pocket hotel is better than other regular hotels. We got the room with 2 mattresses. I like how the washroom is being cleaned often and there r clean& comfortable pyjamas, disposable slippers and toothbrushes. I also like how the laundry is in the hotel and there are lots of tables and chairs in the lounge area. It is also close to the train station.

The place was superb!
The room was a little towards the colder side though
But you get air conditioning to regulate that
