Modern hotel/hostel less than 5 minutes walk from Kyoto Station offering everything you need for your stay. Impeccably clean with lots of common areas to enjoy. There was a bar that served several different types of high quality Saki at a discount price. There was a large eating area and kitchen including free tea and the ability to make both instant and pour over coffee There was a cooking demonstration night and a movie night. It's located steps from tons of restaurants, shopping and the largest travel hub in the city. You couldn't posibly be in a better location to explore Kyoto. I stayed in a dorm and the room was large, with big pod style beds with spotlessly clean sheets. Towels, slippers and ear plugs were provided as well as a large selection of books (in Japanesse). It was very comfortable and I slept well. The staff were helpful and professional and were quick to assist you at anytime. My new favorite spot in Kyoto. Highly Recommended.

Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience. The room was really big and the futons were very comfortable. I enjoyed the bath in the room and the public baths downstairs as well. I would highly recommend this hotel for what felt like a more traditional experience. The staff were amazing as well!
