The hotel is about a 5 minute walk from Kyoto Station, making it really convenient to get to other parts of the city or onto the Shinkansen to visit other cities in the area. I really loved the convenience of the location as a central transit hub, as I was using Kyoto as my "home base" while making visits to Kobe, Osaka, Nara, and Uji.
As with most areas in Japan, the neighbourhood around the hotel felt very safe.
The staff were helpful in the check-in process, though I still found it a little bit confusing using the "self check-in" machine. That could also have been due to the fatigue in travelling though!
The room was a comfortable size and everything was very clean. It was complete with all the usual amenities (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer, safe, etc.). Overall I had a great stay!
