A lovely hotel in a good location for site seeing if you are intending to see things at the four corners of the compass in Kyoto. Two metro line stations and JR line station in pretty easy walking distance. Just off main road so very easy to find convenience stores/ships if you need including underground shops in ‘Zest’. Comfortable bed and pleasant smelling toiletries. Plenty of other toiletries, teas etc available to pick up downstairs. Laundry room - only two machines and two dryers, but I did not have to wait when I used them. Onsite hot communal baths - separate ones for male and female, with female one provided with additional card security and lockers to put your clothes ( or hotel provide Japanese Pyjamas!) in when you go. Tote bag provided in room for you to take your towel down and back with. Could usefully do with ‘etiquette’/practical use instructions for those of us not familiar with communal naked bathing, but luckily a lovely Japanese lady who spoke English gave me instructions about the sit down shower washing beforehand and the need to tie your long hair up. Breakfasts have Japanese and western style foods and reasonable variety - though, as many dishes are not kept warm, your western hot food will be tepid. Decent coffee - including the ‘drip’ coffee sachets provided in room. Would have given 4.5 stars if it had been possible.
