My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag of experiences. The rooms were surprisingly spacious and clean, but the noise from the major road was a drawback. The service exceeded my expectations with friendly and helpful staff, though some spoke only Japanese. The location was convenient, within walking distance of Kyoto Station, but the surrounding noise was noticeable. The dining options were varied and tasty, providing a filling meal. Overall, a value-for-money stay with some minor inconveniences.
