“In Kyoto's Sakyo Ward, this property strikes a balance, a designer's touch evident in the rooms prioritizing ease and calm. While quietly situated, it still maintains superb access to transport and prime city locales, especially the river and temples in the old town. I noted the modern conveniences such as on-site laundry, combined with that location, certainly appeals to business and leisure travelers alike.”
