I had a really pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was compact but extremely comfortable and modern, which is what I'd expect from a place in Japan. The location was great, close to the metro and several quality restaurants. The breakfast was delicious, but I did notice that the staff wasn’t available at certain times which could be a little inconvenient. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for anyone visiting Kyoto.
