"Excellent breakfast even for vegans. Clean facilities, super helpful staff, Close to Kusatsu station. The room was small for two people and lacked some ease of life facilities (place to hang wet towels, AC took some time to get going, tub had only a hand shower)"
"Amazing room, the location is a little bit of a longer walk to the busier tourist areas of Kyoto but this makes the atmosphere more quiet and relaxing! Beautiful hotel!"
