Very convenient location for Kyoto station. We used the shinkansen ro arrive in Kyoto and used the buses and jr lines extensively in Kyoto. Took a bus to Nagoya, the pickup point a 3 minute walk, if that, from the hotel. Virtually around the corner from the hotel, facing Kyoto station. The free welcome drinks from 1400 -2000 is a great relaxer after a day on your feet. Hotel laundry 300 yen for either washing or drying..pretty good.

I often come to Kyoto for business, and I would like to stay at this hotel as much as possible. The service from all the staff is excellent, and the facility is clean. Also, the bed is very dirty. You may sleep better than in your bed at home. There are only good things about this hotel. Kudos to this chain of hotels across the country. Thank you as always.
