Clean rooms and spacious for 2 people but we had 4 adults single beds and the room was a bit cramped which is expected in Japan. Very close to all shops and attractions.

Very nice hotel in a great central location. Staff is excellent and very helpful. We stayed over one week so the breakfast seemed a bit lacking, exact same items every day. Other than that, excellent place to stay in Kyoto.
