Wai Yuen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great

It’s a great experience overall considering the rate in summer - I only paid CAD 46 for a one night stay. Clean room and friendly staff along with free breakfast as well as dinner. The only thing is that it’s a bit far from Kyoto station so location wise, the universal hotels in other Japanese cities (Hiroshima, Okayama, etc) provide a better experience.

Nice stay

Nice stay at this hotel, the employees are professionnals that are here for you in case you need them. The room are clean and the hotel too. Thank you for those good moments.
Vincent, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rooms are very small but the facilities makeup for that. You get breakfast included in the price which is a very good deal for the price. There is a Lawson right near the entrance for quick shopping. Kyoto station is a good 20 minutes walk.
Balaji, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The room is very small, think of a cruise ship style room. It did include breakfast and dinner. This place met my budget.
Bobby, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

I was very suprised to find that the hotel was open to the elements with no proper roof when you walk in the hallways for your room. Could easily flood on a stormy night.

USA trio

Great value. Cold rooms because the heater turns off when you leave. Breakfast ends a little early for my liking. Good service except we had three people in our room and two pillows and when i asked for another pillow they said, "no".
4-night trip

6/10 Good

5 or so min walk to Kujo metro station. Lawson store right next to hotel. Breakfast and dinner included in stay, which we weren’t aware of. Check in was slow and English was limited. Breakfast was ok for the convenience, dinner we only had once during our stay as obviously much better food in Kyoto! Room and bathroom very small and dated decor. No wardrobe or space to put your luggage so was difficult with our 5 night stay. Plenty of washing machines and tumble dryers. Would recommend only for a 1/2 night stay and you are price sensitive.
