It is an older building but the actual facilities were physically clean and the staff service was top notch. The hallways and rooms had a very musty smell which did not go away. It was slightly inconvenient to move around with luggage but it was chosen for its affordable price and close proximity to the Fushimi Inari Shrine (10-15 minute walk). It mostly a residential neighbourhood so it's very quiet.

This hotel is well located if you're planning to go to the Inari temple (one thousand doors temple). It has a subway station nearby, which is very convenient. Breakfast was great! My only complain is that the first day we arrived, the hall and rooms had a strong incense smell that we almost confused with cigarette (it was that strong, though not cigarette). It was gone the rest of the stay, but it was weird. The hair dryer is a small one, so if you have a lot of hair, it'll take a while. The staff was super nice and friendly and answered all our questions. There are a few restaurants nearby, though we usually ate around the places we were sightseeing.

I enjoyed the stay. Only disappointment was I wanted to eat sausages for breakfast that was shown on the menu picture. Plus when we were eating our dinner we had to listen to the area manager giving a lecture to one of the staff.

Lovely stay in Kyoto
We stayed for 2 nights in Kyoto...a quick stop to sightsee as we travelled around Japan as part of our Rugby World Cup supporter vacation. We arrived before check in opened and leaving our luggage was no hassle or problem. Checking in later was effortless and the room compact but clean. Complementary robe and slippers, use of a fridge in the room were all very welcome. The bathroom had a small bath tub and powerful shower and body wash etc was provided. Although the hotel has a restaurant attached, they also recommended some great restaurants located a short 2-5 min walk from the hotel, there's no need to go into town for food! The hotel is located to the south of the city, with taxis to/from the station around ¥2,500. It's a short 10 walk to Fushimi Inari shrine (give yourself at least 3 hrs and a lot of bug spray to walk it all!) and also the Inari train station, and is also on a city bus route if you want instead to take public transport

The staff were exceptional, and went over and above to help me with a unfortunate booking problem/delay after a last minute change in plans due to a typhoon. The booking glitch wasn't even their fault, but they sorted it out for me anyway. The room was pleasant but older feeling in decor and their was a mildly unpleasant smell through the halls and room. Linen etc was pristine, very quiet room. Looks exactly like pictures.
