The room is not big, but if you put two single beds together, the space will be larger, which is convenient for opening the suitcase. You can see a small part of the street view outside the window, and you can see the city view of Kyoto outside the window of the corridor.
The bathroom toiletries smell like black tea, which I like very much. There are subway stations and bus stations around, as well as two super large convenience stores. There is a 24-hour Japanese fast food restaurant downstairs. It is not very delicious, but it is very cheap and convenient. It is very quiet because it is surrounded by residential areas. You can feel the life of Japanese residents by walking around.
We stayed for a total of six nights. The hotel only cleaned the room on the middle day. The garbage was piled up to the trash can and there was no room... And on the day of cleaning, it should be halfway through the cleaning and left because one of the two beds was made and the other was not made.
The hotel has only one elevator, which is shared by tourists and staff. If you encounter the staff's room cleaning time during the day, the elevator will be more busy and the waiting time will be longer.
There is an old lady staff member who can speak Chinese at the front desk. Her attitude towards Chinese and Japanese people is very different. She was very gentle and kind to the Japanese, and even chased me to say goodbye. When she saw me, she spoke Japanese first. Seeing that I didn't understand, she raised her forehead and looked at me sideways, "English?" I agreed to speak English, but she still tried to speak Chinese in a cold and rough northeastern accent. After knowing that I was Chinese, her attitude changed 180 degrees, cold and unfriendly, and liked to use an imperative tone. She asked me when I could pick up the stored luggage. Considering that my companion was still on the way to the hotel, the future plan was still unknown, and I couldn't determine a specific time, so I casually replied "I don't know". She immediately said in an imperative way, "You can't say you don't know, you can just say a time, three o'clock or six o'clock, but you can't say you don't know, otherwise I can't store it for you." Although I was surprised, I still gave an approximate time of "8 o'clock". As a result, she took the initiative to say "I'll write it for you at 6 o'clock." I was really speechless. Why did she ask me? Just write a time at random. And later, when she saw me in the corridor, she even looked up and ignored me. However, she would greet me when she saw me in other occasions, but it was always stiff and fake, and she looked reluctant.
Except for this old lady who could speak Chinese, the other staff were quite friendly. Every time I returned to the hotel, they would greet me with a smile.
