“What struck me most is its prime location, sitting right above a subway station, and the fact that you're a short walk away from the Kyoto International Manga Museum and the shopping in Shijo Kawaramachi; plus, the rooms are quite luxurious, with wonderful city views. With its comprehensive business services and varied dining options, this is where I would book my stay; it's a top-tier choice.”

The location is close to the subway. Access from the hotel to the subway is convenient. A newspaper arrived each morning.
The room felt somewhat dated. I found no USB sockets in the room. I had to request an iron and ironing board.

Really good Stay

friendly staff convenient taxis
Every staff member was friendly. They were cute. Nothing was too much trouble. I used the laundry services and found it excellent. Taxis were waiting outside the hotel lobby, super convenient. I had no issues .
The room we had was smaller than expected. One side of the bed was against the wall. I had to climb over my wife to get out. This room would be more suited to a single traveler.

the subway station is directly under the building. it is convenient if you need to catch a train. the location is near the city hall and a short walk to teramachi street market. it takes only a few minutes to reach the gion district by foot.
