As we checked in after 8PM we had to go to a separate building which was a bit difficult to find despite having a hand-drawn map stuck on their building. The staff was very helpful as well - even walking us back to our building, but having to lug suitcases and bags in the dark (and rain) to the second building and then BACK again after checking in was not ideal. The room which was a traditional tatami room with futons was clean and spacious - much better than I had expected. The hotel also had friendly and helpful guides to get around and see Kyoto. Aside from the slightly troublesome check in, it was definitely a great place to stay.
