    It was comfortable.”

    The bed was large and I could see Kyoto Station and Kyoto Tower from the window. Since Kyoto was hotter than I imagined in the summer, I was able to spend a comfortable time indoors after checking in. It was convenient to be close to Kyoto Station and to have access to the underground shopping area without having to walk on the ground. At breakfast, I was told that "gelato is all-you-can-eat" and I had several types of dessert after my meal. The check-in process was easy to understand, and I was also able to store my luggage before check-in and after check-out. It was good that I was able to register with the QR code without any problems.

    The hotel facilities are brand new and first-class.”

    After checking into the room, I felt that the new room facilities and decorations were bright and clean. Although the room was smaller, the bed was a large 1.6 meter bed, which was much better than the small double beds that were everywhere this time. The bathroom fixtures were new and the washing experience was great. The hotel is located across the street from Kyoto Station and only a few minutes' walk to the hotel. In addition, I had a lunch at the hotel, which included a black cat and beef rice and a fried seafood rice set meal, plus a cup of coffee for 100 yen. It was very delicious and the price was reasonable, providing great value and service.

    Best Kyoto Experience”

    This hotel is located a block or within 3 minutes walking distance from Kyoto Station. We purchased the JR Kansai West and was able to use it since the hotel's excellent location. We fell in love with Kyoto and everyday spent there was worth it. We didn't get the breakfast package but since the hotel is very near the main train station there are so many places to have your meals. Also there is a 7/11 across the street. The hotel also has its own coffee shop and restaurant. We had a King size bed. And although the room is small (expect that in Japan) it had everything we wanted. The staff was very helpful. All you need: shampoo, shaver, tooth brush, hair comb, cotton buds, wash cloth is all provided. We definitely recommend this hotel and if we do come back we will return here.
