This was a very approaching hotel with Kyoto train station 2 minutes walk! The facilities were good but laundry service was expensive we had to take these to closest laundry machine which is 10 minutes walk! However, we will book it again for closest to Kyoto station and luxurious room and buffet breakfast!

The shower was so bizarre. Out in the open with no privacy other than shaded glass. But getting into the shower was zero privacy. Weird. We decided not to stay another night because of the shower. But other than that very clean and very nice staff.
