We really enjoyed our one night at this hotel. The room was perfectly large enough for the two of us in two separate queen beds, which were really comfortable. The bathroom was small but good. Location is excellent, right next to the hotel. Would definitely stay here if we came to Kyoto again.

My second stay with this chain. Compact rooms with enough space under the bed to stow luggage. Laundromat with 4 coin operated washing machines and dryers, so timing laundry visits is important to get laundry done. Centrally located so access to other parts of Japan via the railway is easy and to other parts of Kyoto too. Happy to stay here again.
