“The location was good and was easy to access and find. The room was big enough and had kitchen in the room. Very clean and comfortable enough.”
“The proximity to Gion was very good with an amazing pagoda just down the street and good restaurants nearby. The room was sizeable for Japanese standards. If you wanted to cook a meal, having the fully equipped kitchen would have been helpful. Having the washing machine was nice, however with no dryer it took 2 days for our clothes to dry. We also really appreciated being able to stow our luggage at the main office while we explored pre and post check-in/out.”
“Clean, cosy room Big apartments (for Japan) with good bathroom and separated toilet Good amenities with laundry machine and cooker Useful information e-mails with local events schedules”
“It was really nice. I can describe this hotel as the compound of technologies and convenience. We astonished about its cleanliness and neatness. Much more than that, their staff is so friendly and helpful about our asking and request thru the mobile.”
“The washing machine helps a lot! The staffs very helpful!”
“Amazing value for the size of the room and location. I don’t usually expect extra things like Apple TV etc in Japan. The room was very large for the price. I have paid double that for smaller in Japan.”
“The hotel is in an excellent area, especially if you don't mind walking around. The property was quiet and clean and we especially liked the mobile phone they made available with 4G connection, meaning we could use Google Maps wherever we wanted.”
“Nice bright clean apartment well equipped with essential cutlery and crockery. The washing machine was a very useful facility and washing powder was provided. Staff were very helpful when the programme jammed and came to fix the problem very quickly. The accommodation was perfect for our needs”
“The little kitchenette was handy to be able to get food from the nearby Fresco supermarket and eat at home when you were tired from being out all day. We were able to heat up food on th elittle hotplate or use the microwave. The hotel was in a quiet area but still close to transport and a lot of the main attractions. The beds were huge and the room was a good size. A toilet separate from the shower is a good idea.”
“Value, location in Gion, room size and facilities inc the washing machine”
