Comfortable minimalist hotel with all the basics that you need. The rooms lock, and everyone on the floor shares a bathroom that is also keycard access only. Gender separated showers and coin laundry on the first floor that were clean and brightly lit. I like that the room has a tablet that allows you to check the status of the washing machines and the number of showers available for use. You have the option of getting a new set of towels every day up to your check out day by hanging your bag on your room’s door handle. The location of this hotel is excellent! It is literally right next to Nishiki market in a big shopping district which also puts it in very close proximity to many delicious food options. The major Hankyu line station in the area and a lot of bus lines are also very close by. 25-30 minutes walk to a lot of the major shrines and temples in Kyoto.

The bathrooms were amazing, super well equipped with foot towels, hairdryers, mirrors, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and multiple hooks in each shower cubicle. the towels were replaced every day, with a bath towel and a face towel provided. everything was super super clean and the staff were so friendly and accomodating. we even extended our stay by a night as we loved it so much! the location was AMAZING- a super short walk to multiple stations, and in the centre of everything right off shijo st. nishiki market was 30 seconds away, and we never had to walk more than 2 minutes to a convenience store or food. loved loved loved this place, everything was perfect, would 100000000000000000% stay again.

Early check in was cheap. I love this "hybrid" of capsule hotel and regular hotel. Your rooms are actually lockable, and separate from others, while still using a shared space for showers and toilets, and the price to fairly match. This lobby is the only one I've felt invited to hang out in. Their vending machines have a great variety of drinks and snacks. Walking distance from stations and around the corner (less than 1 min walking distance) from Nishiki Market. Their laundry machines are clean and efficient. My clothes came out clean, mildew free, and dry. Wifi speeds are very accommodating. Very clean establishment overall. I would stay here again in the future.

Good value for a great location and compact stay. Glad that these rooms have windows! It is a good fit for those that don't need a spacious room (I only went to my hotel to sleep most of the time) but also don't want a space as minimal as a real capsule hotel. Using the luggage storage on checkout day was straightforward and convenient. The laundry machines also worked pretty well (I only used the washing function). Given the hotel staffing issues in Japan right now and how Kyoto is experiencing higher levels of tourism than expected, it is understandable the staff were probably under some stress but they were still helpful to guests as much as they could be.

This place honestly felt like luxury and was one of the best priced hostels we stayed at in Japan. New, modern facilities with plenty of space and very comfy beds. The rooms are small but fit us just fine and for the price they were a steal. There’s luggage storage downstairs if you don’t want your bag in your room, and free comfy loungewear you can wear around the hotel between showers & the bathroom. The staff was very professional and kind Loved it & would recommend!
