“I see it as a practical choice in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward, particularly appealing for its adults-only setting and proximity to Nijo Castle. The rooms seem well-maintained, and the inclusion of free Wi-Fi and air conditioning definitely adds value. It's a solid base for exploring the area's historical sites at a reasonable price.”
