There are two Monday apart near Kyoto Station. This one is on the West side, not east side. This hotel is walkable to the station not very close, 15-20mins. We cook and did laundry here. Supermarket is closeby. A special thank you to Lydia at the front desk. She was amazing and helped me retrieve my lost item. I really appreciate her excellent service!

The breakfast was excellent. The staff was friendly and had little translators to go from Japanese to English. They hold your Luggage’s if you have a late departure on your day of checking out. They are so close to the Universal Studios Japan, which is also nearby a lot of restaurants. Great location.
