We loved the location of this hotel in relation to things to do and transportation in central Kyoto. The only things we didn’t love were the breakfast, which was a little pricey for what we were served, and the fact that laundry was not a free service. We had a couple of other stays with free laundry services, which will be something we look for in future stays.
