I love this hotel. It is very safe, there are a big grocery store within a few feet, easy access to the bus station, walkable distance to Shijo subway station, Nijo Castle, and Don Quijote(this one is about 20 min walk, doable.) The room is clean, the price is reasonable and staff is super helpful and friendly. I totally recommand this hotel.

The best hotel from our Japan trip! Made us really fall in love with Kyoto. For a modern hotel it really emanates a traditional spirit. We had an entry way, with seperate rooms for toilet, shower and bedroom with a sliding door. The furnishings were great, and it was incredible comfortable. We almost didn’t want to leave!
