small roomstreet noise
I was a little disappointed with the room i booked. the 'superior twin room' felt smaller than i expected. also, the street noise was a bit much at night. It made it difficult to sleep soundly, even with the windows closed.

Authentic Japanese Room

tatami matscoin laundrybreakfast communication
The room featured traditional Japanese design. Tatami mats were comfortable and clean. The vanity was separate from the bathroom. Coin Laundry included Wash and Dry machines. I could read manga while I waited.
The hotel told us breakfast was available until 10 am, but we were turned away at 9:35. The man running the breakfast claimed last entry was at 9:15. He showed a piece of paper saying last entry was 9:30.

The hotel had easy access to metro and buses. Gojo Subway station was very close. Nishi Hongan-Ji was less than 10 minutes by foot. It was an absolute must see temple.

fantastic stay

coffee machinelight controlspoor ventilation
the breakfast offered many choices. i liked the coffee machine in the room. i also appreciated the light controls located next to the bed. the strong window shades were amazing, ensuring no light came through in the morning.
The room windows could not be opened so ventilation was poor. I struggled to sleep due to the stale air.

check in was easy. the room was a good size considering the location. gojo station was an easy walk away also kyoto was near a pretty large temple.
the floors were a bit dirty. it would have been nice if it was vacuumed more thoroughly. the traffic noise occasionally disturbed our sleep since the hotel is right on the main road.
