모모야마 고료마에역 × 선의 세계관이 느껴지는 숙소만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I looked forward to seeing the familiar front desk staff again and enjoying the first bath in the morning, so this was my third stay this year. It’s conveniently located just two subway stops from Kyoto Station, with two convenience stores nearby. On rainy days, you can even borrow an umbrella. In the Room, I line up my personal items in their usual places and it truly feels like home. I’m planning to visit Kyoto again next year, and I’m looking forward to seeing the “Room type assigned on arrival…” plan announced on IKYU.com.

We stayed as a family of five, including three children! The Room has a toilet, shower room, and electric kettle. We stayed in a second-floor Room, and right after going down the stairs there was a shared kitchen with a microwave, toaster, rice cooker, and more. There was also a dispenser where we could easily get water, tea, and coffee. There is a supermarket about a 10-minute walk away. Wi-Fi is available too! If I had to ask for one thing, it would have been nice to have a TV.

The Room is beautifully decorated with art pieces throughout, showcasing great attention to detail. The bathroom was larger than it appeared in the photos, making it very relaxing. Additionally, the garden space was truly delightful.

The issues pointed out in previous reviews have not been improved, and I felt that reviews are not being reflected. It seemed that the influence of reviews is being underestimated. Additional concerns: ○ The washroom area is too small. When washing your face, water spills below and it becomes very wet. ○ There is no way to lock from the inside apart from the auto-lock, leaving security concerns. ○ The entire room is dark with only daylight color lighting. These were the points that concerned me during this stay. Good points: ○ The futon was soft and did not cause body pain. ○ Since hair on the futon under the sheets is visible, it seems necessary to make it a priority cleaning target. ○ Strong force is required to open and close the bathroom door. Even if the door glass breaks due to force (unavoidable), it should not be a liability issue. Height adjustment with a plane, etc., should be done promptly.
