9.1Verified guest“The location is central, near the 'stove area' (likely the station hub), close to restaurants, mini markets, Toji and Toji temples.”
9.1Verified guest“I was upgraded to a modern twin room and breakfast was included — a lovely perk.”
9.1Verified guest“The room was huge, spotlessly clean, and came with a kitchenette and washer/dryer. Perfectly located just a short stroll from Kyoto Station, and the staff were extremely friendly. The overall atmosphere was pleasant.”
9.1Verified guest“The location was excellent, the hotel is nicely decorated, and it's right next to convenience stores, restaurants, Toji and Toji temples, plus a mid-size mall. For photography, check out Octavar, within a 10-minute walk. Service and breakfast were great — everything lived up to expectations.”
9.1Verified guest“Great, fantastic location in a fairly quiet area, near all major sights, mini markets, restaurants, Toji and Toji temples. Also a 5-minute drive from teamsport go karting Warrington (though that seems out of place—perhaps a mistaken reference).”
9.1Verified guest“Highlights: in-unit washer/dryer, a spacious bathroom with a waterfall shower, and proximity to convenience stores and restaurants.”
