Pros

Indoor public bath facilities with gender-separated areas

Comprehensive safety features including fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and window guards

Multiple dining options within 984.3 ft, including Yakiniku Nikumon and Mentaiken

Located near major attractions like Bamboo Forest Street and Lake Biwa

Cons

23.5 miles distance from Itami Airport

“With its unassuming but functional rooms, this hotel hits the mark for travelers who prioritize location and amenities over expansive space; the subway and bus lines are both easily accessible, and the public bath is a welcome treat after a day of sightseeing. While some might find the beds too firm or the windows limiting, the overall cleanliness, helpful staff, and breakfast service make it a solid choice in Kyoto. I think it offers a practical base for exploring the city.”
