This is a nice, small hotel in a great location. It is clean and quiet. The staff is very helpful, and staff members speak English fluently. For breakfast we had 3 sandwiches to choose from, served with a soup, small salads, fruit, and beverages. Amenities include in-house coin washer/drier and a very nice guest lounge with free tea and water, an icemaker, microwave, and seating options. A subway and bus station, numerous restaurants and convenience stores, and Kyoto Gyoen National Garden (with the Imperial Palace) are in close walking distance. We had a very nice stay.
