The room was immaculate with a wonderful view of the skyline. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the staff are incredibly polite and helpful. More than that, the included breakfast in the morning was a real delight: lots of healthy options from local cuisine and international fare, fresh and hot, and a great way to start the day.
The local area of Kyoto was a real revelation. I decided to stay here on the suggestion of a friend who lived in Tokyo. It is accessible to the rest of the city while giving you a reprieve from the hustle and bustle. Only a block away, there are elegant, quaint streets with restaurants and shops. Nearby is one of the more beautiful parks I have ever seen.
A wonderful stay for a budget hotel punching way above its weight.
