A very nice hotel for a family stay. It is very accessible to a subway station. It is also conveniently located near key transport nodes and shopping areas. I'm pleasantly surprised that the hotel is still using an actual room key (the metal and keychain, not the card) that one may safekeep at the conceige. This is a practice not commonly seen today. But then, this is Kyoto!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The first room smelled of cigarette smell and humidity. We told the staff and they were nice enough to give us another room. The next room was a bit better. It did not have a cigarette smell but you can still smell old humidity in the room. We were able to air it out as they had a fan and we could open the windows. The bathroom was very small. I hit my head on the door knob trying to stand up from the seat. The bathroom had a noticeable but not overbearing sewage smell that was also present in the room prior. The staff was nice and the location is convenient but I will never book here again.

Old facilities but clean. Cannot control AC by degrees (only three settings). Tiny bathroom/bathtub. But overall good bang for the buck.
