JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI
Excellent location close to Kyoto Station. Large rooms with lots of amenities. Staff were very friendly and helpful when needed. The automated check in took longer than being checked in by an actual person. I would stay here again and would recommend.
