The room was very nice and clean. The bathroom was good - we had separate shower and the restroom with the door, so it was really good. The neighborhood was quiet. Hotel location was close to Nijo Castle and important public transport lines are close to hotel.

Beautiful property and the staff are amazing! So welcoming and polite. They have a little gift shop on site that is very reasonably priced. The onsen is lovely and as an added bonus is tattoo friendly. They even prepared a little gift for us when we checked out and even had a banner bidding us farewell.
