Buena ubicación pero nada más
Pros:

La ubicación es lo mejor de este hotel, justo enfrente de la estación de Kioto lo que lo hace muy cómodo para llegar con el equipaje y para moverte por Kioto. También es muy cómodo el food hall que hay debajo del hotel. El persona muy amable.

Cons:

Le haría falta un poco de reforma, no es un cuatro estrellas. Las habitaciones en todo Japón son pequeñas pero esta era demasiado, el armario minúsculo y el baño era como un módulo prefabricado dentro de la habitación. Había que subir un escalón y luego la bañera también era muy alta además de no tener casi espacio para dejar las cosas lo que lo hacía bastante incómodo.

Good location across Kyoto station
Pros:

Excellent location, across Kyoto station. Also close to the giant Higashi honganji temple. Terrific breakfast with Western, but especially Japanese choices. The view from the tower is great!

Cons:

lots of foreign visitors who were not familiar with the polite way of the Japanese people, sort of pushy.

If you have a limited budget for a hotel you can stay here and reach all temples and museums by public bus or metro so e
Pros:

Location is great and the room was clean.

Cons:

The room I booked was small I knew it but the location of a wall pillar made it even smaller and difficult to move in the room (room 907)
