The hotel's location is excellent, just across the street from shopping and the Kyoto Station, offering convenience with numerous nearby restaurants and retail shops. The rooms, though clean and comfortable, are in need of refurbishment with worn-out curtains and upholstery.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms, although the size of the twin room fell short of my expectations for luggage space.

During our travel through Japan, we stayed at this establishment for 5 nights in a premium double room. The rooms are quiet and well-appointed, but some may find the endless dark, low-ceilinged corridors to reach the room a bit off-putting.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were in serious need of refurbishment, but they were better than I expected during my trip. The location, right across the street from Kyoto Station, was fantastic and very convenient. However, the dining options, although fresh with both Western and Japanese choices, were a bit pricey for what was offered.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a generous size that is larger than typical small guest room hotels in Japan. You can enjoy views of the inner courtyard and mountains in the distance. Although the price could be seen as a bit high for some travelers, the value for money is definitely there due to the generous room size and excellent views.
