One of the best things going for this property is its location. Step outside the hotel, and into the adjacent main street and you have immediate access to all the major shopping centres and train station. The famous Nishiki market is just across the road. The Yasaka shrine and Gion is only a 10 min walk away.
The facilities offered are of high quality - clean, efficient and comfortable. The public bath (onsen) is an added plus - I enjoyed it everyday during my stay. The external areas are very tidy and well maintained. There is a little shrine and cemetery at the back of the hotel, a nice area for a stroll.
Although the staff (except for one or two) does not speak proficient English, they nevertheless try hard to be helpful. They are always friendly and courteous. They were able to help me change a restaurant booking, arrange transport of my bags to our next destination with relative ease.
This is a very snug and comfortable little hotel in the heart of the Kyoto shopping district which should be very convenient for most tourists and local business travellers.
