Excellent location, right next to the Kyoto train station. Even if it is close to the station, it was quiet. Great location in terms of clean area and lots of tasty food/restaurant in the station and around the hotel. Check in was great, had to pay city tax. Had luggage storage before check in and after check out. They had amenities. Room was small, but typical in Japan hotels. They upgraded us to a queen sized room, we didn’t know, until we wanted to extend one more night… had to transfer to a double room, unless we paid the difference to stay in the queen sized bedroom. This is the only negative about it. I would think if we extended another night, they don’t have to pay their workers to clean another room. And, they were the ones who upgraded us, without us asking… they should have just kept us in the same room. Otherwise, great hotel!
