The location is good. Just a short 3 minutes' walk from the JR station. There is a convenient shop nearby and one JR stop will bring you to Kyoto Station where you can connect to the other parts of Kyoto. The hotel is very clean and staff are very helpful. The hotspring is comfortable, with 5 private onsens and 2 public onsens to cater to all needs. There are additional perks such as welcome drinks, snacks, ice-cream and lamen available every day. The room is spacious and well equipped, with hair-dryer, fridge and safe and also choices of pillow. Bed is comfortable, aircon is strong and water pressure is good. The breakfast has a large variety and delicious, with lots of items includes rice, noodle, fish, meat, vegetables, eggs, soup and many others. Overall I am very happy with my stay in this hotel and I would like to recommend travellers to this hotel.

One subway stop from Kyoto Station. Not many restaurants nearby but it is a quiet location with the hotel next to the subway station. Facilities are great. The hot spring is good.. could have provided towels instead of asking guests to use own towels from the room.

Great Onsen hotel close to city centre

Great Onsen hotel in the heart of the town, just one station away from Kyoto station, really great location for those who cannot afford the time to travel far for Onsen hotel. The hotel is clean and tidy, great service, and I really like the private baths that I can share with my family instead of strangers in public bath, and the wait was reasonable. The breakfast was good, more Japanese style options which are what we wanted. The Kaiseki dinner was good, though I had more delicious ones elsewhere before, still good value for money and nice experience overall. Definitely want to stay here again!
