A short walk from Kyoto station, very convenient! The room was modern with an amazing view of temples in the city and mountains in the background. Walkable to plenty of food and shopping! Breakfast buffet had lots of variety and was decent (get there early in the morning!)

Checkin process was very long and my key didn’t work - they forgot our door was malfunctioning and I received a physical key after two trips up and down. No cleaning service, they leave all supplies by the elevator. Clean, close to many attractions, front staff friendly and knowledgeable. Pretty far from subway station if you have to bring a lot of luggage (recommend taking a Grab/taxi).
