A great place, very well located near Kyoto station. All you can eat BBQ across the road is a winner. My only comment would be the guest laundry. It needs ventilation. Our clothes did not get dry in the permanently moist room

Hotel is very clean and nicely kept. Our room was full of luggage on arrival and the staff did accommodate us and removed the bags, but we had to press for room change. Overall, staff were pleasant. Convenient location to Kyoto Station, but not a lot of good restaurant options nearby. We did not at the hotel, but the restaurant looked quite nice. The area, as most of Japan, feels very safe at any time. Self-use laundry is free, which is super nice. We paid $95 in Nagano for laundry service, of we had known that laundry (on tour time and effort) is free, we probably would have waited and used hotel. Our friends did use and had no problem, so a big plus. About 30 min walk to Gion.
