The hotel is conveniently located right next to the train station for easy access to Kyoto, with a Family Mart nearby, but it's a bit far from the central area. The rooms, although clean and comfortable, lacked natural light, and laundry service was a bit slow. The service was top-notch, with a helpful and accommodating staff offering extra amenities at no cost. Dining options were mostly Japanese fare, and the facilities were well-equipped for a comfortable stay.

The hotel's rooms were clean but quite small, making it a bit challenging to move around the bed. It only had one bed, which felt cramped. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and accommodating, allowing us to check in at 9 am. The location was convenient, just a minute's walk from the train station, providing easy access to Kyoto. However, the dining options were limited, with mostly Japanese choices available. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel offered a nice and clean environment near the suburban area.
