Our favorite hotel that we've stayed at in Japan! At this point in our trip, we were used to the smaller room and we made it work with our 2 personal items (backpacks), 2 carry ons, and 2 check in luggages. The front desk staff was very helpful, washing machines were free (there is no dryer but the bathroom becomes a dryer with the features they have), less than 10 min walks to Nijo Station, the bus stop, Family Mart, and the local shopping street down the block (great taiyaki, yakiniku, and tea shop). Highly recommend! If we ever return to Kyoto, we'll definitely rebook here.
