The room was very spacious for the price paid. However, I had to remove one star because the breakfast given was the worst food I tasted during my trip. I couldn’t finish it the first day and we ate out all 4 other days.

Kyoto stay

A really great stay if you are looking for something central and budget friendly. Easy check in and out process and a big plus with the washing machines. Clean hotel and friendly staff. One downside is that the blinders do not block out all of the lights if your room is facing the street.
