No staff. You are given code to get in. 16:00 is the check in time with very early check out time at 10:00.

It was so comfortable staying at this place. Our room has laundry so it made easier our staying. It was a surprise noticing that there is a self check place so there is not a reception desk as well. Be careful if you use a local transport for your luggage.

The beds and pillows were very firm and the construction taking place next door was very noisy.

The room and the check in was really nice and spacious, but to use hot water you have to put in a number into a special device next to the shower which was confusing for someone who is not used to something like that, so a small note would have been nice. All in all the passcode with the door was always easy to use! Also the window to the room was kind of cold and we didnt know how to properly close it but it was not as bad.

The hotel is extremely dirty. There are pinworm infection. My entire ankle is swollen. Hotel should do a major cleaning before it open for business again.

Nice, silent, clean. No window view, however, comfortable. The rest room is large enough, clean and tidy, very good. Very nice expenience. Self check in check out is new experience to me, however very easy and smooth. Just need to make sure you pay attention on the emails hotel sent to you, then everything will be smooth and easy. The location is not far from station, and near the famous sight, good choice for Kyoto trip.

The little apartment is a nice size and very clean. Great location too. Be aware there is no staff. You check yourself in and out using a tablet and email codes they send you. There is no cleaning, or towel changes, or garbage removal. Annoying but not the end of the world. The real problem was the beds. Possibly the least comfortable mattress I have ever slept on. Actually debated sleeping on the floor.

Super clean and cosy room. The bathroom was nice and spacious and there was a small kitchen. However appliances had some faults. The TV weirdly turned on in the middle of the night and there was a strange light flashing behind it. There was also this constant ticking (we think it was the door) as well as it sounded what was like a possum in the wall.

The unit is closed to Kiyomizu dera and is a 12 mins walk from Kiehan Kiyomizu-Gojō Station. The unit is very small and is a challenge to store 2 checked luggage. Also, the toilet seat and bathroom are shared. There will be an extra charge tor early check-in but you can arrange with them for luggage dropoff to your room and come back later for check-in when the room is ready. This is very helpful to us as we arrive Kyoto at 12pm and can dropoff our luggage to the room and go out for sightseeing and then come back after dinner for the check-in.

Practical place if you want to stay in the Kiyomizu-area, otherwise quite expensive for a staffless apartment-hotel. The previous tenant had left boxes in the closet and the beds were fold-up beds and not very sturdy. The window had no soundproofing, so you could hear every insect and pedestrian and car from outside, however nothing from the rest of the building. It was quite a walk from the nearest train-stop, and the check-in time of 16:00 made it very difficult to enjoy the day as we had our luggage to haul around (since there was no staff, no coinlockers or self-check baggage area in the "hotel"). I would only recommend this hotel if you are desperate for a room, because it was moderately clean.

地點方便，乘206號巴士於馬町站落車，直行見到Lawson便利商店後，過對面馬路，行多1分鐘便到達。整潔乾淨，跟提供的相片一樣。員工有禮貌，非常幫手。直得推薦。但這是一間小型酒店，有些像是一間住宅，以前住大酒店，可能會不習慣。
