It was an accommodation booked through Airbnb. Because it was peak fall foliage season, nearby hotels were very expensive, but this accommodation was relatively cheap. The accommodation is small and located about a 14-minute walk from the station. If you don't have a lot of luggage, accessibility is good and Nijo Castle and Kyoto Koen are close by. There were also delicious local restaurants nearby and the neighborhood atmosphere was nice. There are accommodations up to the 3rd floor. The stairs to the 3rd floor accommodation are quite steep and narrow, so if you have heavy luggage, it may take a lot of effort. And the inside of the room wasn't bad, but it was a bit dusty and humid, so it smelled like mold. Especially when heating with an air conditioner, it gets a bit harsh. It doesn't matter when you don't use it, but if you go in cold weather, you have to turn it on, so the smell may be a bit difficult. Also, I found out later that there might be bed bugs. I'm not sure because I didn't check it directly at the accommodation, but when I returned to Korea, I went to the hospital to see if it was an allergic reaction or a bug bite, and the doctor said they suspected it was a bedbug bite. It's a place where a lot of foreigners stay, and it's not a 3-5 star hotel, so I think it's not a bad place to stay if you're willing to tolerate those things to some extent, but I think it's better not to go there for the time being because there's a high possibility of empty loans.
We booked this hotel, which was advertised on Booking.com as five-star, with a reception desk, etc., and it seemed like a good option. When we arrived, there was no one there; the reception desk was a linen warehouse. No one showed up. We looked around, and the cleaning lady gave us a room key. It's worse than a shabby guesthouse. We spent one night with mold growing on the walls, and the next day we looked for another hotel. RUN AWAY!
Horrible!!! Run away! THIS IS NOT A 5-STAR HOTEL! It's a scam, it's a seedy, shabby guesthouse with mold growing on the walls of the rooms. We ran away and looked for another hotel... it was indecent!
