room was clean and size was ample since most hotel rooms in Japan are generally smaller. But for me I didn't know that the hotel was a book themed type of hotel since my son recommended from a search which their is no blaming anything here. But for a book lover this would be paradise because their are books everywhere in the lobby, hallways and your room but I mostly saw Japanese books but I'm sure there are English books somewhere.

Hotel aceptable precio-calidad. Limpio, funcional, en buen estado, con estilo, Pequeño como casi todos en Japón, aseo de la habitación solo si lo pides, la cama está casi a nivel de piso (estilo Japones) y me toco con colchón duro, qué al llegar a descansar después de caminar mucho lo resientes más. Relativamente cerca de la estación central de Kioto.
