Nice hotel in Kyoto. The facilities were all updated and the room was nice. The room was comfortable but a tiny bit crowded with 2 suitcases (typical of cities in Japan, though). One minor thing was the elevator - there is only 1 and no good access to stairs, so we had to wait a while a few times to be able to get up to the top floor. We did the breakfast a few days and there are limited options but the food was good and reasonably priced. Friendly staff with English skills. Hotel is in a good area, within a 30 minute walk to the heart of Gion and Nishiki market. Close to a few subway stops that will get you around the rest of the city.
