Great value.
Pros:

Loved the room. Felt clean and luxurious - great bed. Staff was very kind, good communication and very little language barrier. Nice amenities.

Cons:

No complaints. Could perhaps have been a little closer to the tourist area but that's only if I HAD to nitpick.

Muy buena ubicación, excelente relación calidad precio para Japón
Pros:

La ubicación, estaba cerca de las paradas de bus que es lo que mayormente te movilizas en Kioto y también cerca del metro.

Cons:

Me acostumbré a los otros hoteles de Japón que te daban pijama todos los días, aquí no te dan pijama. Las camas un poco duras pero no es mayormente un problema

Lovely clean rooms can’t complain! Tea and coffee downstairs and even free toast in a morning was a nice touch!
