Hotel was very comfortable to stay in. It is right next to Gojo station exit 8 as well as a bus stop so was very convenient. Staff could communicate in basic english well and had leaflets in english with any details. Buffet breakfast was a nice spread that had small changes on the dishes daily. Towels and bath amenities are all provided. There were also pillow options and pajamas at the check in lobby.

I really enjoyed the hotel and the area. Very easy access from Kyoto Station and Gion (and a subway station as well), close to some really nice and walkable neighborhoods. Having a convenience store on the same block was a plus! The breakfast is very Japanese, but the pastries and coffee were good. Super close to 2 big temples as well.

Awesome hotel.
The hotel is great. Right next to the subway station so great if you are backpacking. The hotel held our bags for us even after checkout. Free breakfast was delicious and the coffee was strong. We liked it so much the first night we rebooked it for another night. The room itself is small but I liked it very much. We slept in the Japanese style room.
