“This hotel strikes a fine balance, offering comfort with practical amenities like in-room kitchens in certain rooms. I appreciate its tucked-away location, which still manages to be near enough to Kyoto's attractions and transport links, including the convenient Shijo Station. The hot tub adds a touch of unexpected luxury, making it a solid choice for exploring the city.”
