Super great hotel. Highly recommended
Great location near Kyoto Station. Very nice staffs and good in English. Very clean room and large enough for open 2 luggage. It's convenience that the chairs and table can be moved. The breakfast is good value. There are welcome drinks in lobby at 2-11pm every day. The green tea is tasty and it's good to have a rest after a long travel day. I chose this hotel because it has its own parking lot. But only for 3 cars. Remember to reserve early if you need.

Convenient and relaxing
This hotel is welcoming and bright from the arrival at Reception lobby.
Staff are helpful and kind in a natural way.
Free soft and alcohol drinks from afternoon until the evening.
Nice range of toiletries to choose from by reception desk.
Very nice room. Different layout to what I expected, more like a ryokan but smaller and within a modern structure. Very conveniently located at walking distance from Kyoto Station

The hotel is modern, clean and spacious. It is very close to the Kyoto Station, which makes travelling easier. I would recommend their buffet breakfast. Staff are nice and the hotel provides luggage storage. It was a pleasant stay. I would stay there again.
