Really nice boutique hotel. Room was very spacious and the in-room washer/dryer combo was a great amenity. Hotel staff was also super friendly and quite helpful with general information. A staff member also made the time to show us how to use the washer/dryer. Highly recommend this hotel for the excellent staff, spacious room, and short walk to Kyoto Station. Would stay here again!
