We weren't expecting much from this hotel, but Resi Stay Heart exceeded our expectations. Location was perfect. Not too far from Kyoto station, with a 7-11 & plenty of dining options nearby. Staff was friendly and check-in was easy. Once we entered our room, we noticed some very thoughtful amenities you don't often find in US based hotels such as a flashlight, vacuum cleaner, large bottle of water & slippers. The common kitchen which was shared with other guests, was well appointed with a rice cooker, microwave/toaster and all the kitchen utensils you'll need. The best part was the complimentary laundry facilities (that included detergent) which we definitely needed during our 5 night stay in Kyoto. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend Resi Stay Heart to all our friends & family visiting Kyoto!
