First time stayingIt's in the back of Kyoto, a quiet and comfortable place.However, there are almost no places to eat, so you have to be in the city area.Perfect for sleeping and relaxing.Hotels in the city are so noisy that you can't relax.I would like to go again 😊

The room is spacious, and the bathroom and toilet are a little old-fashioned, but there are no problems.You can smoke outside the lobby, so the rooms and hallways don't smell bad.Breakfast included and free parking were very helpful.

I don't think there will be any problems if you just stay at the accommodation at the International House. If you think this is a good hotel in this neighborhood, there is a Prince Hotel across the street.It's also conveniently connected to the subway station, and there's plenty of parking even if you come by car.

Although the road to the front desk is lonely, the view from the room, the access, and the quietness are great. And it's reasonably priced. Turn left from exit 3 at the last subway station. Go through the 🅿️ gate of the International Hall and keep going straight. When I saw the letters on the front desk at the end, I was relieved. I was able to escape from the hustle and bustle of central Kyoto and relax. The free breakfast bread and coffee is also nice. (There is no convenience store nearby)The Karasuma subway line runs every 4-5 minutes, so it's super convenient to go anywhere. It was convenient for traveling to 3 cities: Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe.It's a hidden gem that I don't want to tell you about.
