Super convenient spot for a city stay. The subway is just a few steps from the entrance, which made getting around so easy. Having a 7-11 right around the corner was a total life-saver, too. The area is awesome—lots of high-end shopping (like Diesel) and a ton of great restaurants to check out. Plus, there is a solid gym around the corner when you leave if you need a workout. Really loved the vibe here. Highly recommend if you want everything within walking distance!

Hotel was in a great location. Staff were lovely and very helpful especially organizing a day of golf for our group (highly recommend Kyoto Ohara golf course 10/10). The bathroom was a bit musty smelling. Another great help were the washer/dryer in our room. Soap was even provided.
