We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. I loved how the room included a washer for our dirty clothes. It was really convenient since our total trip to Japan was 15 days.
The location of this hotel was also located near this really cute shopping street with a bunch of food places.
We would definitely stay here again.
Very conveniently located walking distance to the old town and the shopping area. It is a decent size apartment for Japanese standards. What we didn't like was the darkness of the apartment. There is only 1 window very close to the next building. The kitchen is fully equipped but there is not a table or a chairs to sit on. Also there are not tea/coffee bags provided. The apartment is not serviced but that was expected. It feels like Airbnb accommodation.

Highly recomend
The hotel is clean and very spacious. It is a 30 minutes walk from the main busy markets. We were able to leave our luggage before we were able to check in, that was very helpful.

Our stay here over the few days was great. Room and bathroom were spacious and the ability to do laundry all in the room was excellent. Really short walk to the subway station and walking distance to major shrines, shopping, dining and attractions. Definitely would stay again and absolutely recommend.

Well equipped and very clean facility for a family with elementary kids. Close to metro, grocery store, ice cream and small restaurants. Walkable to Gion and Kiyomizu-dera.

Set up like a small apartment. Very nice and very clean. There was a little construction noise next door, but overall it was a great place. Walking distance to many things.

Decent. I guess.
They didn’t clean or change our bed sheets once. Staff only shows up from 4pm -8pm. Super inconvenient.

조용한 골목길에 위치하고 있어 주변이 조용하고, 숙소 바로 앞에 지하철이 있어서 지하철을 이용하여 아라시야마 관광을 편하게 할 수 있어 좋았습니다.
그리고 도보로 기온거리까지 갈 수 있어서, 저녁에 맛집도 찾아가고 쇼핑도 할 수 있는 즐거움이 있었습니다.
