The lady receptionist is really nice and helpful. The room is nice and clean. Everything is equipped. The toilet room, separate from the bathroom, is quite small! The one rule in this hotel is that no shoes are allowed inside the hotel, even the area outside of your room. Near the entrance to the staircase to the rooms, there is a huge shoe rack with rug, which frankly needs to be washed because it's quite smelly from all the stinky socks/shoes that people have set their feet on. Receptionist hours are limited, 9-11am and 3-6pm. The hotel is kind of far from Kyoto Station, and you would have to walk 1/2 hr. to reach the subway or JR station. You can get the daily bus pass, which also covers the subway, for 1100 yens. Make sure to get the 1100 yens (a magnetic type card) NOT the 1000 yen, which only has prepaid tickets for buses only! There is a LIFE supermarket, but that's like 1/2 hr. walk. However, there is Kohyo supermarket (smaller than LIFE) nearby (about 10 minutes walk) but has a lot of selections. There are not that many temping restaurants near the hotel.

Friendly, professional staff. Safe and secure site. Room 103 was large and very clean. The kitchen well equipped with a stove, sink, dishes, pots, pans, silverware and a table and chair. There's a washer. You dry your clothes in the entire shower area vs a traditional dryer. There's a very easy to follow instruction manual for how to use all remotes and appliances in the room. There are two comfortable queen size beds. The toilet is in a separate room near the entrance. Theres a booklet hanging on the wall near the kitchen table that serves as a menu of meals that are delivered to the room at very reasonable prices. The street has shops up and down both sides including a grocery store a short walk from the Ben's house. This was our favorite place to stay for the month we traveled around Japan. We'd stay there again in a hearbeat.

We found our room quite adequate. It had a stovetop for cooking and a washing machine. It was very close to a grocery store and an amazing bakery. Great baguettes at the bakery. Really enjoyed our stay.
