This hotel far exceeded my expectations. That day, I traveled all the way from Wakkanai after visiting Cape Soya, then flew from Chitose Airport to Osaka, and finally arrived in Kyoto. I was incredibly exhausted, both mentally and physically. Beyond the usual tea bags and shower gel found in Japanese hotels, this place offered premium amenities like bath salts. But the best part was that this hotel has a 'power on' system for the room key! This meant I could leave the room with my card, and the electricity wouldn't shut off! You could also tell the local environment was pretty good; the birds on the street weren't afraid of people at all. They'd walk right next to the sidewalk, and wouldn't fly away even when people passed by.

The room is actually two small connecting rooms, which is great because it gives us space for our luggage. Having two bathrooms is a huge plus! The main bathroom is especially spacious with a three-part setup (toilet, sink, shower all separate). The water pressure was excellent and very consistent. On the 2nd floor, there's coffee and drinks available, which is a nice touch. Downstairs, you'll find a drugstore, Don Quijote, and Loft is right next door, with BAL across the street. Takashimaya is just a 5-minute walk to the right. The location is unbeatable, and it's excellent value for money, which more than makes up for the slightly small rooms. The service was also very good!

This hotel offers complimentary coffee and beverages in the lobby. It has a large public bath for soaking, and although the rooms are small, they are exquisitely designed and well-equipped. There's even a washing machine with a drying function in the bathroom. All the small details are perfectly executed. It's a great hotel, conveniently located in the Shijo city center, making shopping and dining very easy. A truly excellent hotel. We stayed for three consecutive nights and opted out of room cleaning for the middle two days, and the hotel even refunded the cleaning fees for those days. For breakfast, the hotel had a promotion offering free bread, coffee, and beverages, which was also a nice touch.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at The OneFive - the room was very clean and spacious with relatively new facilities. The hotel was a short 5 min walk from Omiya Station and about 15-20 min walk from the main shopping streets at Kawaramachi / Teramachi. The staff at the check-in counter were also very friendly and helpful!

The hotel is really close to the train station. After exiting the station, you just take the escalator up to the second floor, walk across the massive station, then come back down to the ground level, cross one road, and you're there. The bus station is also right by Kyoto Station, so it's quite convenient for getting around. The room itself was pretty spacious; I could fully open my 26-inch suitcase without an issue. Most of the usual disposable toiletries were provided, though you had to ask the front desk daily for toothpaste, otherwise, they wouldn't replenish it. I'm not sure if we just weren't aware, but our room wasn't cleaned once during our three-night stay, though thankfully we didn't have much trash to dispose of. Overall, I was satisfied with the stay, and the self check-in via machine was super convenient.

Located at the prime area of Kyoto where the restaurants and bars are at. Rows of full bloom Sakuras along the canal just outside the premises. Shopping and Lawson / 7-Eleven are stone-throw away. A great location for couple. And yes, I got proposed here! (Explains the wedding band photo)

RReneehuangHighly Recommended Stay in Kyoto
I would like to strongly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Kyoto. The staff demonstrate exceptional professionalism and hospitality.
In particular, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Miss Yuki, who assisted us with our check-in and kindly introduced many wonderful sightseeing spots and activities in Kyoto, as well as to Miss Tsai, a ********* staff member who supported us during check-out with great warmth and care. Their thoughtful service truly reflects the welcoming spirit of Kyoto and the hotel’s commitment to excellence.
I am genuinely impressed by the quality of the team members who bring guests happiness and satisfaction through their dedication. They truly deserve recognition and applause for their outstanding service.
Our two-night stay was far too short, and we are already looking forward to returning in the near future.
IiamnotdelicateThe basic room type isn't in the main building; you have to walk up to the main building each time to have breakfast or soak in the onsen (hot spring). And it's not a real onsen; my friend's superior room was the real onsen. We were given a small room at the back of the hotel, but thankfully there weren't too many graves.
When I asked the staff at the entrance to take photos for me, they were very reluctant and had a sour face. At night, on my way back to my room from my friend's, the receptionist on duty in the lobby was also very rude. Overall, I was dissatisfied with the service.
The facilities are excellent, very new, and the hotel is quite small, but that's typical for Japanese hotels. The decor is also very nice; the aesthetics are on point.
There are at least three cemeteries and a bunch of shrines nearby; bring some amulets if you like.
Llucky333This was the second hotel on our Japan trip, and it was excellent!
The hotel is located directly across from Kyoto Station's Hachijo Exit. Since we had a JR Pass, staying near the station made getting around much easier.
**Facilities:** It's a self-check-in hotel. We paid the accommodation tax first. Next to the self-service machine, there were toiletries that you could take as needed. Although the room was small, it had everything you could want: a refrigerator, humidifier, TV, bathtub, and smart toilet. The room heating was strong, but you could adjust the temperature if it felt too stuffy.
**Cleanliness:** It was clean. We stayed for three nights and didn't request housekeeping. They provided pajamas, and they were really nice! It's a shame that there's a shipping fee if you buy them from the official website. It would be great if the hotel front desk sold new ones.
**Environment:** There's a 7-Eleven on the ground floor of the hotel. Guests can enter directly from the side of the lobby, and when returning, you can swipe your room card at the 7-Eleven to enter the lobby. This is great in cold weather as you don't need to go outside to visit the convenience store for food. The surrounding area has many shopping options, including Don Quijote, Aeon Mall, drugstores, and various eateries. There's even more inside the station! Isetan, Porta, Takashimaya. If you exit towards the Kyoto Theater, you can see Kyoto Tower. There's also a sightseeing bus to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and you can just use your Suica card. You can even walk to Yodobashi Camera.
**Service:** The hotel staff were respectful and polite to guests. You can store your luggage after checking out. Our luggage was sent from our previous hotel, but if you want to send luggage to your next hotel, you have to arrange the courier yourself.
It's very convenient to take the Shinkansen from Kyoto Station to Tokyo!
This hotel is highly recommended, and I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Kyoto!
Jjiadong100We booked a triple tatami room. As is typical for hotels in Japan, the rooms are quite compact, but we could conveniently store our luggage in the entryway. The bathroom was also small but absolutely spotless. The Kamo River is just a stone's throw away. A big plus is that the front desk staff speaks Chinese, making communication effortless. There's a coin-operated laundry facility on the first floor. Takashimaya department store is also within a short walk. If you go before its 8 PM closing, you can snag some great discounted food items from the B1 supermarket – excellent value!
ГГряникThank you very much, we really enjoyed our stay with you!
Your townhouse was very cozy and fully equipped. Comfortable house clothes, robes and slippers for any occasion (for the street, balcony, toilet and home) made our stay comfortable. The beds, although on the floor, were very comfortable. The mats felt nice and warm. The bathroom with wooden trim looks unusual and stylish. The small rock garden adds a nice accent. The Japanese-style breakfast was an interesting experience, especially the process of making soup yourself. The code entry on the door was very convenient. Thank you!
Xxue****This hotel offers incredible value for money! It's super convenient, just a 5-minute walk from Kyoto JR Station. The streets on both sides of the hotel are lined with small restaurants and pubs, and there's a medium-sized drug store (Don Quijote) at the corner. The room was clean and tidy, and we could see Kyoto Tower right from our window. I especially recommend the hotel's shampoo – it's really good! 😊 The room was spacious enough for two adults and two 28-inch suitcases, with plenty of room to spare. There are USB charging ports by the bed. There's no kettle in the room, so you'll need to bring your own and an adapter. The breakfast on the first floor is a set meal, costing around 60 RMB per person. Highly recommended!
GGuest UserWe had a good stay overall. Love the TV, it has Netflix YouTube etc and is placed right in front of the bed. The room is quite small, we cant really move after opening our luggage. Location wise not exactly near anywhere but it’s nearby the metro/subway line.
GGuest UserIt was a grea hotel with free shuttle to station. The room size was big compared to other usual Japanese hotel and the longer bathtube made a difference.
Breakfast buffet was the best with many many variety and staff produced french toast at site served with honey.
Underground Carpark was really convenient and you coud get discount by joinning as its member at once!
GGuest UserA perfectly affordable stay in Kyoto. Train stations are about 12-15 mins away from each side so a bit of a walk. Receptionists were helpful, rooms were clean and the buffet breakfast was very affordable for 2000 yen per person. Minor complaint is that the washing machine that was also a dryer didn’t completely dry our clothes even though we tried to dry it for about an hour and a half. Overall a pretty good experience.
JJulianvaThe location is very good near Kyoto Station. The hotel is small but modern and clean.
They made me wait two hours to check in, but that's the rules; I already knew beforehand. They also allowed me to leave my bags while I went to lunch and waited to enter.
The room is small, but like all in Japan, it's a standard room that meets everything you need for a good stay. It's clean, modern, and tidy. For one person, that's fine; for two people with large suitcases, the space is very tight.
For the price, location, and facilities, the hotel is highly recommended.
