Nice location! We loved the coffee bar downstairs! It’s going through a minor renovation and not as nice as the other places we stayed in Kyoto but could be improving. And we had several nats in our bathroom and just a bit outdated.

We were in Japan for 2 weeks and divided our stay in Osaka, Kyoto, & Tokyo. This hotel was my favorite because we had enough space, a tv connectable to Netflix, a drink station (including coffee & tea & SAKE!) they have 3 locations (all within walking distance from each other). It was in a quiet area but the attractions were walkable. The hotel is in close distance to bus and train as well. They offer luggage transfer but cash only! Aside from the space, the reason why this was my favorite hotel was because rhe room has a washer/dryer which is convenient for long stays. We also stayed during the winter time so we dried our coats prior to walking out.

Super convenient spot for a city stay. The subway is just a few steps from the entrance, which made getting around so easy. Having a 7-11 right around the corner was a total life-saver, too. The area is awesome—lots of high-end shopping (like Diesel) and a ton of great restaurants to check out. Plus, there is a solid gym around the corner when you leave if you need a workout. Really loved the vibe here. Highly recommend if you want everything within walking distance!
