The hotel is conveniently located near Kyoto Station, making it an ideal base for exploring Kyoto or traveling to other destinations. The rooms are cozy and small but sufficient for resting, although they could use a refresh. The service is friendly, though some may find it lacking in helpfulness compared to other hotels.
