With 2 young children, my wife and I stay in this hotel for 2 nights. Well, we chose this hotel as we wanted to spend the day in Universal Studio in Japan. So, it is in a great location for that purpose. Its check in and check out is automatic which is great. The thing we did not like about it was that even though we had a triple room, it was quite small foe a family of 4.

Really quiet location. Reception was extremely friendly and helpful. Gave us dining recommendations. Also, there is a FREE SHUTTLE to several sites in Kyoto. We took advantage of the free shuttle and it was fantastic. It was going to places we were planning on visit. We will definitely stay here again.
