I certainly enjoyed my stay here (10 days) The hotel is modern, clean and well maintained. Laundry facilities on the premises and great wifi throughout the building as well as a tea service in my room. There are some key details to note: The hotel employs strict adherence to their rather late check in policy (3 o'clock) so if you arrive early to Kyoto as I did, you will find yourself wandering around the city for 5 or 6 hours before you are allowed to check in, this is a big disappointment in my view. Also, anyone 2 meters (6ft) tall or more will have trouble in the shower stall. The bathrooms are modern but they are also prefabricated inserts therefore the height of the ceiling is rather low. The location of the hotel is great, it seemed like everything of interest was within 2 kilometers i.e Kyoto Station, Nijo Castle and the Nishiki Market were all within 2 to 2.5 km so I walked everywhere. I would stay here again.
