Definitely enjoyed my stay here, the apartment was quite spacious for Japan standards and the price. Aside from a great clean room with tons of amenities, by far the best part of this hotel is the staff. Taiji (I believe that was his name) helped me check in and walked me up to my room where he showed me how everything worked. He was very friendly and gave me a lot of advice as I told him that I'm a photographer trying to get lots of good shots around Kyoto. He even told me where good places to eat were as well as what time would be a little too late to get the shots I wanted.
I was a little afraid at first that it would be loud after reading the other reviews about the train, but honestly it was not bad at all. When the trains finally passed by, I was just thining "Is that it? Really? People complained about THAT?!"
Overall the place has great amenities, washer and a shower room that has a drying functiton. TV, great and comfortable bed with decent speed for wifi.
One thing I do have to say is if you're traveling with lots of luggage, you might want to think about taking a short cab ride here since it is a bit of a walk from Kyoto station. I had read the reviews that it is in a more secluded/residential area, but I regularly run marathons and I am quite active so I figured that a walk like this would be nothing. Walking with 2 rollers and a heavy backpack (since I was going to be traveling for a month), and with the heat proved to be a lot more annoying than I thought it would be. It is definitely in a more residential area and I could see that coming home at night would be a little scary for those afraid of the dark. The staff here helped me book a cab early in the morning when I was checking out (since I didn't want to torture myself again) and I couldn't be more grateful.
