It’s a basic hotel with a nearby metro station, which makes it very convenient for visiting Japan. The breakfast is very good, with local food. I loved the public bath, very spacious and equipped with all the comforts. The only thing they should improve is allowing early check-in, even if it comes with a fee, like other hotels do, so guests can explore the city with peace of mind.

I chose this hotel because it was close to the meeting point for my sightseeing tour and also offered a Japanese-style spa with a sauna. The location was excellent, right in front of Kyoto Station, with many restaurants, shops, and convenience stores nearby.
Like most business hotels in Japan, the room was small, but it was sufficient for a short stay of one or two nights.

The breakfast buffet was very good; we actually looked forward to it.
Easy to use laundry machine that washes and dries in the same machine that you can lock with your own code. Very convenient and stress free.
Short walk to the station. We’ll definitely stay here again when in Kyoto. Highly recommended.
