20 PIECES

The hotel is very clean, all of the staff spoke fluent English and there are a lot of items available for clients use in the foyer. The room was beautifully laid out and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Very conveniently located and directly across from the temple which has regular markets, so that was a nice surprise.

The hotel and room were amazing - one of the best hotels we've stayed at before, especially considering the fair price and great location. The staff were all extremely friendly and accommodating. The amenities offered by the hotel - laundry for a small fee, free rental for items you might need, free coffee and tea, etc - all made the stay more enjoyable. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was clean, the room was spacious and relaxing to come back to after a long day of walking. And of course the location is very convenient. We would not hesitate to book another stay here next time we are in Kyoto. Few places deserve a 10/10 rating but 20 Pieces well deserves it - highly recommend!

We were wowed by this property. All 4 of us (2 adults to kids 15 & 11) loved the fact that we had our own double bed!! Travelling around Japan can be quite exhausting and so to have your own space at night was wonderful. The bathroom was fabulous! The kids had a water fight in it! The kitchen was super too. The location was absolutely spot on. 5 mins from the main train station so not too far to lug your luggage around and opposite the most fabulous temple. Really was a gem find! Near all restaurants too!

We stayed in loft B and in loft D. Loft B was an excellent set up with lovely views of the temple. We really enjoyed it. Loft D was also an excellent setup. The beds were larger than Loft B which was good for our teenagers and there was a door between the living space and bedrooms allowing for different sleep schedules. However, the outlook from loft B was beautiful which made for a great atmosphere.

The location was perfect with the Higashi Honganji Temple as our main view and that it was less than a 10 min walk from the Kyoto Station. First, I love how the whole hotel is keyless so no need to carry a card to lose. The hotel and rooms are accessed by a code you are given. I love the layout of the room (plan B) and that the bunk beds were bigger than a regular twin. There were 5 of us, so 4 of us took the beds and my son took the couch. The couch was very hard and firm even to sit on let alone lay on. The room was equipped with a mini fridge with a little freezer inside, a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, ports and pans, etc. Anything not in your room can be rented at the lobby, which I love the concept of communal items. They had items from record players, speakers, air fryers, a Polaroid camera, decorations, etc. you name it, they probably had it! If you opt out of a room cleaning free three days, you receive a box of matcha cookies which were delicious! The hotel provides you with bottled water daily, though you can drink straight from the faucet. There is a 7-11 about a block away and a Lawson’s about 3 blocks away. I LOVED the shower! I like how the tub and shower are enclosed separately within the bathroom. The toilet is next door separate from the rest of the bathroom. The only thing that was a hassle was that there wasn’t a mini sink in the toilet room so you’re literally touching the doorknob with dirty hands since you would need to go the next door over to the bathroom. My husband loved the morning coffee and afternoon tea that is served daily. It’s also a big plus that there are two pairs of a washer/dryer. Heads up that the machines only take 100 yen. The washer cost 200 yen per load (5kg max - a bit small) and the dryer is 100 yen for 10 mins. Two loads in the washer was able to fit in one dryer (up to 8kg). It took approximately 20-30 mins to dry.
