“What struck me most was the genuine helpfulness of the staff, a welcome change from what one might expect at this price point. Its location near Shijo and Karasuma puts much of Kyoto within easy reach, and the little extras-laundry facilities and amenities-really do make a difference for longer stays. For a no-frills base to explore the city, it exceeds expectations.”
