Tiny rooms, even when booking for 3 people. The bathroom sink is next to the bed, we had no place to open the luggage. The shower is extremely small.

It's very close to Kyoto Station. There is a tax of ¥400. The room is small and the air conditioner is old and has not been updated. The air conditioner makes strange noises when sleeping. The shampoo and shower gel are actually made in China.
