Excellent location to explore Kyoto! Central to great restaurants/shopping/sights only 2 subway stops from Kyoto station

Great location!
Pros:

Loved the location!!! Easy access to the metro (via reception until 10pm) and so convenient for buses - many go up and down the street. A really nice area to sit down and relax. Free sake tokens are also a pleasant touch.

Cons:

Breakfast is poor value.

Pros:

L'emplacement dans une grande rue commerçante, pas loin de la gare, proche des superettes, avec des boissons chaudes à volonté et un verre de saké par jour et par personne gratuit.
Les chambres sont spacieuses et très propres.
La literie est confortable et, comme dans toutes les hôtels au Japon, présence de chaussons, pyjamas et nécessaire de toilette à disposition.
Je conseille vivement.
Une laverie est disponible également pour laver et sécher son linge et c'est très pratique.

Cons:

Ras

Location was amazing. Right on kawaramachi. Walking to nishiki and all shopping.
Complimentary coffee was good. Sake complimentaey but dint get to try that one.
Rooms were decent size - could open 3 large suitcases.

Cons:

Bed was a little tight for a famiky of 3 - but the hotel pre informed about it and we still went ahead, so nothing against the hotel.
No other issues.
