Basic hotels, very reasonable price in Kyoto, the room is good size, with small refrigerator. They also provide some breakfast and dinner, not fancy food, but included in the room price, which is quite convenient

The room is very small, think of a cruise ship style room. It did include breakfast and dinner. This place met my budget.

The pillow has stains, the sheets have stains, the bathroom is dirty, the bathroom walls are dirty, socks on the floor from the person who stayed before, but as you say, you get what you pay for.

夕食が無料でありがたいのですが...ご飯をもう一杯おかわりを頼んだら追加料金が発生すると言われた。 追加料金が発生してもいいといい､おかわりさせてもらったので帰りにフロントでその旨を伝えたら料金は発生しないと言われた。 事前にご飯のおかわりは出来ないと明記して欲しい

立地的には地下鉄九条駅から、徒歩７，８分で便利、烏丸通に面しているけど静かです。何より朝夕２食付でこの料金は、素晴らしい。大浴場もあってとっても良かったです。唯一、貸し出し用のアイロンがないのでビジネス客は不向きかな?

Pretty small rooms. Quiet and reasonably clean. We are happy with their free breakfast, supper and public hot spring service, but their bed wasn't really comfortable though. It's better than Good but not yet Excellent. Will recommend to couples who want to spend less on travel for a ok recommendation.

今時、この値段で広い個室で朝食、夕食付き、部屋風呂のほかに大浴場まであるホテルは無いと思う。コスパは最高。 残念だったのは、ベッドに併設されたファブリックのソファがシミだらけで汚れてみえて、座る気も物を置く気にもならなかったこと。 せっかくのコスパ感が削がれる。
