Hotel Cross is phenomenal for the price. You honestly get what you pay for and much more. Staff were incredible and nice. They offer toiletries which is wonderful. You’re located in the heart of Kyoto with all the shopping and food within walking distance. I would definitely stay there again when I return to Kyoto.
