Very close to train station and 7 Eleven store right on the corner. The bed was good. Laundry was convenient to use as it was on the 4th floor same as our room. Breakfast was disappointing. I missed reading it was Japanese style so i found other alternatives

The hotel was in a great location, staff were helpful and professional. The room was cozy, but quiet and clean. If I go back to Kyoto I would definitely stay her again. It’s around the corner from the subway and 2 stops from Kyoto Station for the Shinkansen. I did not do the breakfast, because we’re not breakfast people. But my friends did it and loved the variety of food that changes every day. Great hotel!
