The staff was very friendly and helped with every question i had. The local area was lively with shops and restaurants all around. I will definitely be staying here again!
It is very close to the shopping district and yet situated in a quiet location. There are many amenities around.
I'll choose this hotel again when I return next time.
The hotel is located in a great area where there are a lot of good restaurants and shops, and the room is with good size comparing to other hotels which I have stayed in the past.
Spacious rooms, very clean and stylish hotel with very great value for money. Perfect location as sightseeing hub. Staff extremely sweet and helpful. Highly recommended

Great hotel in a fabulous location. Very friendly staff and clean rooms. Great pick for Kyoto.
Staff was nice and most spoke English. Rooms were kept clean and you could pick up free items if you forgot something. The small set breakfast was basic and didn't change but good.
Good, calm location, clean and looks like a new property. Breakfast was also good, you receive a small plate with everything and a drink. Highly recommend this place!
Our stay at Prince Smart Inn was amazing, the room was spacious enough for 2 people and the laundry facilities were easy to use and very tidy. The best of all was the staff, they would greet us with a friendly smile and were very helpful when we needed something. Would highly recommend this hotel. I’m looking forward to my next stay here. I normally don’t leave reviews after my stays, but my experience with this hotel has made me leave one. Thank you for your friendly hospitality.
Great location on a quiet street close to public transit and shopping / dining areas. Rooms are a larger Japanese size but spotlessly clean and thoughtfully designed, with comfortable beds and pillows and fantastic spa shower. Helpful and friendly staff. Nice touch with free eco-friendly amenities. The hotel has a cool vibe -- the sort of place where you wouldn't mind hanging out in the lounge. Great choice for couples and solo travelers.
Very easy check in process, very nice area around hotel such as shopping areas and temples along with easy access to bus and train stations. Staff was very friendly and helpful and while the hotel didn’t have the luggage forwarding service themselves, they were right next to a Yamato office which was very convenient.
