I will evaluate this hotel for what it is a low budget hotel. The room is quite small, but for me and my wife that only returned to the hotel at night to sleep, it was good enough. The public bathrooms may be a problem for some people, so have that in mind. The location was excellent imo, 7min walk to Kyoto's central station. The hotel has a music hour that is amazing, they have a person playing an instrument live in one of their other hotels and they broadcast that into a big screen at the ground floor, I was even able to hear music from my country being played by the musicians. It is definitely a good option for everyone who is looking for a low budget hotel in Kyoto.
