A nice hotel situated on the busy Kawaramachi-dori shopping street. Great location for Maruyama-koen, Gion and Shojo station. It's about 15 minutes (including the walk) to Kyoto station, and there are buses galore on the street outside.
As with most Japanese hotels, space is at a premium. But what there is is very clean and tidy.
Attention to detail is impressive - there are 'anti-static' pads by the lift buttons, so you don't give yourself a shock when you call an elevator. There is a hotplate in each room for your kettle (provided). You get a nice crisp yakuta to wear as well.
There is also a fridge for your drinks, etc. in each room. There is a small laundry room with washing machines and dryers.
Staff as always are very friendly and helpful. I'd quite happily stay there again.
