“Excellent stay”
The breakfast was a nice traditional buffet. The room was lovely and quite comfortable. The staff was super professional and friendly, they can also hold your luggage and it will be waiting in your room when ready. The room was very clean. The room was very quiet as well.

“Good stay in Kyoto with good access to other locations.”
The hotel is like 2 mins walk from the station and bus stops going in all directions. Good eating options nearby (no need to spend for overpriced food in touristy areas). If not, there is a 7/11 downstairs. Good view from the apartment both during day and night.
