Booked this hotel at the last minute and was very happy with our choice. Directly across the street from Kyoto Station, very convenient-everything was within a 5-minute walk. Staff spoke English, helpful with directions, and securely held our luggage until check-in time. Room was clean, bathroom was tiny. Couldn’t get room temp just right, so it was nice to have a window that opened slightly for fresh, cool air. Hotel was a good value, and would consider staying here again if/when we return to Kyoto.
