Ideal location, clean rooms, great staff
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was spotless. Location was about a 5 min walk from all the restaurants and had a subway station next to it.

Cons:

Shower room was just about tall enough for me, but I understand Japan is not made for people 6ft 3.

Great location in the heart of Kyoto !
Pros:

Great location ! Very central and close to everything! Clean and safe !
Not for a long stay !

Cons:

No window in the room . It’s normal for Japanese rooms but after a while it can be unpleasant. I would not recommend it for a long stay as I did.
