This hotel is genuinely just a place to rest. They have a nice restaurant in the lobby but the rooms were miniature. I consider this on the level of a fancy hostel.

Truly loved our home base in Kyoto. Staff was so helpful and patient. The 2 twin bed room was perfect for my son and I. Comfortable beds on the firmer end. The shower and water pressure were heavenly. The restaurant was delicious particularly for dinner and the bar a perfect stop after a long day. They handled shipping our luggage easily. Really enjoyed our stay. Can't think of a negative thing to say except maybe install more wall hooks in the room to hang clothes and a laundry service would be nice. We walked to a coin laundry and it was fine. Would definitely stay here again.
