Solo traveller - a great option

An ideal stay in Kyoto, the hotel is just a short walk from the station. The staff were attentive and friendly; there were little treats in the afternoon including an ice-cream machine as well as free evening drinks. My room was comfortable and I took advantage of the laundry services available. Would definitely recommend staying here.
