“With its proximity to Kyoto Station, Kyoto Tower, and a major electronics retailer, this property emphasizes location; moreover, some rooms provide a traditional experience with tatami mats and futons. Still, reports of cleanliness issues in some areas raise concerns. Consider it a budget-conscious option, but weigh potential drawbacks.”
