The room was clean and modern, with a convenient location. Although there was a window, it was dark. Since most of the day was spent sightseeing in Kyoto and the area though, this wasn’t a problem. Having breakfast provided was also convenient, with a mix of Asian and western options. Careful with late checkout fees.

Great location, many bus route options to and from core areas like Arashiyama and Gion (1min walk from the hotel onto the main road). Right beside a convenience store. Right across the street from a grocery store. Main Street beside the hotel is one of the main shopping strips that connects Nishiki Market. Be aware no outside food to be eaten in the lobby. Base room includes a wall bench short table and stool where we’d enjoy small meals.

The hotel was super dirty. There were multiple stains in the washroom. In addition, the sink was broken. The towels were yellow. Moreover, the staff told me I couldn't eat at the table downstairs, while other people do it, it's fine. Don't book this hotel!
