Breakfast options are adequate. Location is great. The staff was very nice and friendly. The room was clean. It's nice that they provide a microwave in their laundry room area. The hotel is very close to two subway lines. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. I would definitely come back again the next time I'm in Kyoto.
