Everything was great about the hotel. The room is very clean and spacious, do note that it does not have a TV, but it wasn't an issue for me at all. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. It is very close to one of the train stations, but also Kyoto is fairly small, so you could technically walk anywhere. It is not cheap, but I would totally stay here again next time.
