The hotel is within walking distance from the Kyoto train station and very well connected with the rest of the city by bus and subway. Breakfast had a great variety of options of both Japanese and Western dishes, but breakfast area can get really crowded because people tend to linger longer. There were also afternoon coffee, tea, and snacks, and happy hours with free drinks at night. Our room was spotless and very modern. The staff was very attentive and polite. We really enjoyed our stay.
