This hotel was the best! Super big room for Japan - that was so appreciatedEverything was squeaky clean in both the room and bathroom.I first had reserved a room with one double bed room and one bunk bed above - my stay was so nice that when I extend it they gave me a room with 2 double bedsThe price is really honest - and the location for me was perfect. Although I wouldn’t say it’s the most convenient location if you’re in Kyoto for just 1/2 days - but if you’re here for a bit longer and don’t mind being a bit further away from all the attractions so that you’re also away from the noise and tourists, this place is perfect 😊Hope I can come back here one day 🤞🏼
