When I found out that he was Korean, he spoke to me in Korean. Although he wasn't fluent, I liked the feeling that he was trying to be as considerate as possible. The waiter was so cute haha.

The location is convenient, just a few minutes walk from Shijo Karasuma. The hotel itself was new and clean, but as others have written, the cleaning of small areas was not thorough, and I thought it was for overseas customers who don't care about such things.Breakfast was good, with a buffet of rice balls and pickled Kyoto vegetables.If you expect it to be part of the Rihga Royal chain, you'll be very disappointed, but if you think it's a business hotel, it's about as good as it gets.

The homemade rice balls for breakfast and the mochi sweets for dessert were very delicious.Also, since it was in a quiet area, I was able to sleep peacefully.

Financially accessible hotel, rather well located. The large beds are very comfortable, everything is clean.In the middle of September it is hot, the only slight downside is arrival in the rooms. Since the air conditioning doesn't work without our cards, it's hot; but after about ten minutes everything is settled.

The location is in Shijo, so transportation is convenient. It has a modern Japanese feel that foreigners will generally enjoy. There was a lot of dust under the bed, but maybe they should reconsider the service.
