I stayed at this hotel and found the rooms to be ordinary but very clean and tidy. They were a reasonable size for the price, and despite looking a bit dated, they were clean and comfortable enough. I particularly appreciated the tea-making facilities and the wireless Internet modem with its own password. Overall, the room was perfectly decent for a base to explore the city.

The hotel is situated in a bustling area near plenty of bars and restaurants, making it convenient for exploring Kyoto. The rooms, while on the smaller side, are immaculately clean and stocked with all essentials, reminiscent of standard Japanese hotel rooms. The service is exceptionally warm and helpful, offering amenities like dry cleaning and housekeeping. The location is a short walk from key attractions and public transportation hubs, ensuring easy access to all that Kyoto has to offer. The dining experience, though reasonably priced, could use improvements in comparison to Japanese offerings. Overall, the hotel provides good value for the price paid.

The dining experience, particularly the 'European breakfast,' was not as nice as expected given the pricing. Comparing the cost to the value offered for their Japanese style breakfast could lead to enhancements in this area.
