I believe they remodel the hotel, everything is pretty fresh. Wonderful location right next to kyoto station. Like the interior design, simple but with smart space design. I basically check in n out myself. Not much to tell about the staffs.
Close to Kyoto station Shinkansen exit. Seven eleven in the same building as the hotel. Hotel breakfast was terrific with lots of Kyoto specialities to choose from, as well as Western breakfast food. Room was very clean. Very convenient for traveling around the city as we could hop on several busses or the subway at the station.
