We chose this hotel primarily for its strategic location right next to Kyoto Station. The rooms are compact, as expected from typical Japanese hotels. The cleanliness standards are excellent.

Location is great. Right in front of Kyoto station. Only complain i have is that they don’t do room service for 4 days. Not even cleaning room or making bed. Room is not well designed, it’s big but its not efficient. I really liked services like free rental items and coin laundry. Overall it was great. Breakfast was also great

The hotel's breakfast is very good which is basically Kyoto cuisine buffet style. Need buy the coupon at the hotel lobby vending machine. Although it about ¥2000, it's a has a great variety of Kyoto home cooked food to savour. Stayed 4 nights and had breakfast daily. Highly recommended.
