This was easily one of the coolest/best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. It was super close walk from the subway station which was only 3 stops from Kyoto station. Central location, close to lots of amazing restaurants and shopping. The coffee shop located in the foyer has world class coffee/matcha and the staff were extraordinary. Looking forward to our next stay there!
