Friendly English speaking staff. Located in a quiet neighborhood that's about fifteen minute walk from Kyoto Station. The nearest convenient store, supermarket, and bus stops are also about 5-10 minute away by foot. Spacious in Japanese standard, but some of the designs don't make a lot of sense. For instance, there are only a few dimly-lit lights in the room. Also, the hotels ask us to be careful not to damage the tatami and wooden furniture, but there was little non-tatami or non-wooden structures where we could place our personal stuff. No public bath.
