I decided to extend my stay in Kyoto for a day and chose this hotel. The rooms were a bit tight, but the elevator music was a nice touch. Adding more shelves, drawers, and clothes hangers would have made the room even more comfortable and functional. The lady at the front desk was really polite and efficient, helping us with everything we needed. The location was excellent, just a bus away from many Kyoto attractions, which was very convenient. The dining experience was quite expensive for what it included, but the pancake platter was delicious. Overall, a cozy stay with a few minor improvements needed.

I found the hotel to be a great choice for my stay. The room was reasonably spacious for 2 people with a lot of luggage and was cleaned and refilled daily. The staff were helpful and really polite, making our check-in efficient and helping us with everything we needed from documents to arranging taxis. The location is superb, very close to Kyoto's market center and within walking distance of shops and sights. The dining experience, although okay, could be improved for a better price-quality ratio. Overall, a comfortable and convenient stay.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The location is great, just a stone's throw from the metro station and surrounded by convenient shops. The rooms are spacious enough, considering you're in Japan, and come with all the facilities you need. The service was top-notch, super friendly, and efficient. The location is really good, close to the tube and near a bustling shopping street. The dining options were excellent, and the facilities, including a public SPA, were just what I needed for a comfortable stay.
