This hotel has the best location one can imagine. Everything is around the corner: restaurants, temples, trains, buses, subway, gardens... etc. And still it is really quiet and peaceful inside.
The only disappointment was the gym. Not only do you have to pay, but it was quite bad. The equipment was OK, but the design was really boring, and it was far too hot inside! And I felt sorry for all the kids who could not use the pool, since you had to be 20 to enter.
Otherwise we did not have time to try any bars, restaurants, or other facilities in the hotel, since Kyoto kept us so busy. But I would probably stay here again, due to the excellent location.
