This quite well located hotel was on a bus route to the train station and major attractions Amazing breakfast and drinks happy hour

A little far from Kyoto station, 13-15 min walk. Closest convenience store and dining options are about a 7 min walk. Front desk always cheerful and greeting guests. They were also multilingual and very helpful during check-in process. The daily breakfast buffet was average in taste, essentially the same menu every day. Happy hour is actually just 1 hour, but you can use it anytime between 4-9PM. Sadly, there is a weird stinky smell just outside the hotel, which is emanating from one of the adjacent buildings. You can smell this only briefly for maybe a few seconds as you're walking in/out. The inside of the hotel smells completely normal and clean. Unfortunately, my bathroom smelled faintly of urine even with the fan on the entire time. There was also no caulking between the shower wall and bathtub, so you could see visible black mold growing in between the gap. There was no mold odor however. The bathroom was otherwise very clean. The sink's water pressure was so strong it would splash out if you pushed the handle all the way up, so you have to be careful and lift it just a little bit. My TV also would regularly glitch out when trying to watch Youtube through the TV app, but the normal TV function was fine.

Asked for a quiet room but the hotel didn't honor my request - they put me right by the elevators. The daily happy hour was fun.

Staff were very nice and some spoke English (helpful as we're tourists). Having cold drinks ready on the main floor after a day of exploring the city was awesome! Would highly recommend Il Verde.

This was our second stay at the hotel. Again, it was great and the staff was very helpful!

Room was simple but had everything you need. The breakfast is great and the happy hour is even better! staff were lovely, located across the road from a shrine/park but you have to pay entry. There is an AMAZING Ramen place around the corner. 5-10 min walk from the train station

Stayed here on recommendation from a friend. Quiet, internet is great, located near central bus lines, Keihan trains and near JR Kyoto Station.

The room was very small but comfortable for one person, and it was very clean, good sheets. There is a window which can be opened for fresh air. Breakfast is very basic. My room was on the 3rd floor and it smelled very much like flea repellant for animals, the smell was quite bad for me but luckily didn't go into the room too much. The air freshener they provide didn't really work to mask the smell unfortunately. The staff are amazing, efficient and friendly

Nina helped me secure dinner reservations at a nearby restaurant. It was much appreciated.

We had a midnight emergency in that I was very allergic to something in the room at a nearby hotel. Finally caught on to it just before midnigght and booked this hotel last at 11:55pm. They were very accomodating and got us to bed in a very nice room within about 10 minutes if arrival. This looks like a great hotel, wish we had stayed for longer than 7 hours. Has an onsen (we didn't have time to use). The most interesting part is you leave your shoes in a locker at the enterence and the rest of the property is Tatami mats which are truly wonderful to walk on for tired 20k steps a day feet. A big thank you to this hotel for saving the night for us. Wish we could go back.
