The staff explained the details of the stay in detail. There is an exclusive parking space, but you need to pay for it, but the price is reasonable. There is an elevator, which is very convenient. There is also a free game console at the elevator entrance. The room is clean, with a washing machine, and there are many clothes drying racks. There is also a balcony for drying clothes. For us, it is a very good accommodation experience.

Was very spacious for our family of 5. Had everything we needed. Short walk to a Metro station and bus stop - so easy to get around. Nice and clean. Staff were lovely and they were happy to store our luggage on checkout day as we had things booked in before our train out of Kyoto. Would definitely book this again if I travel back to Kyoto.
