Large room for a Japanese hotel. Room was clean and very comfortable. 10-15 minute walk from the centre of the action. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Luggage delivery available from the front desk and was a good deal (approx 5000yen from Kyoto to hotel in Tokyo) Would stay again.

I love this hotel. It is very safe, there are a big grocery store within a few feet, easy access to the bus station, walkable distance to Shijo subway station, Nijo Castle, and Don Quijote(this one is about 20 min walk, doable.) The room is clean, the price is reasonable and staff is super helpful and friendly. I totally recommand this hotel.

Great over all but it was an extreme dusty in the room. Every surface area had dust on it. The room was a decent size for my family no complaints aside from the dust. Staff was amazing! Very friendly and accommodating! There was a complimentary bread and coffee service every morning which never failed to disappoint
