Location is very convenient as it is right at a train station exit. We drove into town and parking was relatively easy to find near the hotel. Night time parking rate starts 19:00 or 20:00 for most paid parking. The rooms are clean but very small and we have trouble opening more than one luggage. Overall it is a good value hotel at a convenient location unless small Japanese room size concerns you.

This hotel never disappoints. This is out second time staying here and every time we have a pleasant experience. The rooms are nice. The bus and subway are mins away. Many spots such as dt Kyoto, nishiki market, and the shopping arcades, are walkable. The lounge area is beautifully decorated and peaceful. The roof top patio gives a nice view of Kyoto.
