Down the block from Kyoto Station, this is a great hotel to stay at to explore Kyoto and the surrounding areas. Next door is the Annie Hall Bar - a whisky tasting bar - that is to die for.

The property is very close to Kyoto train station , 5 minutes walk. The station has an underground shopping and dining mall. Convenience stores are also very close by. The rooms are compact, but clean with all amenities, robes, etc. Breakfast is was fresh and hot , a mixture of Japanese with some breads, butter and jams and fruits.

The room may be on the smaller side but there was still plenty of room. If you're looking for a budget friendly hotel that gives you the red carpet feeling, this is your spot. Incredible location close to the station and the staff truly is amazing.
