"This my first stay in Kyoto and the hotel is right across the street from Kyoto Station. It is super convenient and a nice hub so you can be almost anywhere through public transportation. Since it is a transportation hub you can also get cabs easily. The hotel has a coffee shop on the first floor which is convenient, but there are a number of food/coffee places nearby. Oh, if worse gets to worse and you can't orient well, you can look for the Kyoto Tower which is right next door. I would definitely stay again. Nice job!"
