I highly recommend this hotel for others. It was walking distance from Kyoto Train station. And has a free shuttle bus that drops off at various sites in Kyoto once a day on some days of the week. Breakfast had many options and was delicious. Onsen was clean and warm with wonderful high quality free to use facial products and hair products.
