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!
