This is a simple hotel located 2 minutes walk from Nijo Station.My impression is that about 80% of the visitors are foreigners. It's very clean and you can get good service as it's managed by Marriott.The first floor can be used as a restaurant and bar, and there is also a gym and laundry on the basement floor.I think it would be a good idea to stay for 3 or 4 nights and eat your meals inside. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is great!The location is Nijo Station, so it's a little far from the downtown area, but it's about 1500 yen by taxi from Shijo Karasuma.

Everything was good until day 3 when I found out the coffee cups were being soaked in the toilet bowl when we left the hotel for a stroll in city; thanks goodness the cleaner left it there and forgot to put back in the cupboard before leaving the room. They promised a refund for the night and apologised on behalf of the cleaner who was said to be new(!!!! ) to the team and not aware that she should not soak the coffee cups in the toilet bowl!!!!! Attached is the photo

Overall a nice place to stay. The staff spoke English and were helpful. Breakfast was typical of a 3 star Japanese hotel. The bar staff were great and we stayed at the bar had dinner too! Fried chicken with French fries and onion rings plus flat bread. All very good. My biggest complaint was the beds! The matters kept moving off the bed and I ended up stabbing my toes and bruised my legs as I would hit the exposed wood.

Overall good experience. Friendly staff, nicely designed modern room (although pretty small), the coin laundry wasn't very good (detergent didn't smell great to me at least, only accepts 100 yen coins, dryer doesn't actually dry clothes properly). Good location.
