I was there for just a little less than a week but out of the 3 hotels i stayed in while in japan this was my personal favorite that fit my needs the most. The room was spacious, (travelled alone) and my favorite parts was propably The fact that i had a bathtub and microwave in the hotel room so i could relax properly and heat up food without having to leave my room in the early morning. The personell was also excellent, some of them were even proficient in english. The location was also great for my activities while in kyoto, as i could visit i.e. arashiyama and nishiki easily through train and bus. Would definetly revisit if i went back to kyoto
