What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the hotel's convenient location near Gojo subway station and Karasuma Street, making it easy to reach attractions like Daimaru Department Store, Takashimaya Department Store, Teramachi Shopping Street, and Nishiki Market. The rooms are generally considered sufficient in size, with comfortable beds and surprisingly spacious bathrooms; some guests, however, have noted the breakfast could be improved, with limited options. Many appreciate the on-site onsen and the high-quality toiletries provided, as well as the impressively soundproofed rooms that ensure a peaceful stay.

Fantastic Stay!

clean hotelbuffet breakfastshort walk
I found a clean hotel with a communal bathing area and a buffet breakfast. The hotel is a short walk from Nishiki Market. I appreciated the hearty breakfast each morning. It was GREAT!!!
I wished the lobby had large tables, so I could eat outside of my room.
Location

The hotel is about a ten-minute walk from the station. It's close to convenient stores, made shopping easy. The proximity to the subway line and bus stops made getting around to the sites so convenient.

The hotel had a fantastic buffet breakfast each morning. The breakfast included German sausages and two types of delicious curry. The salad options were also fresh and plentiful, which I appreciated. The food was AMAZING!!!
Facilities

The hotel has coin washing machines with dryers, very useful. The spotlessly clean public bath was relaxing after long days of walking. The hotel offers luggage storage before and after check-in and check-out, FREE!!!

Excellent Hotel Experience

quality materialssoundproofed roomssuper clean bathroomlanguage barrier
I really enjoyed my stay. The room was thoughtfully designed, with quality materials used throughout. the rooms were impressively soundproofed, i appreciated the peace and quiet! the hotel seemed quite new, everything sparkled with cleanliness, especially the bathroom.
The staff at the reception didn't speak english at all, made communication difficult, though we used google translate to resolve issues. It's essential for hospitality staff to have english proficiency.
