The room was more than adequate for the price. We received a good price because we stayed there 14 days.What made our stay so delightful was the extremely helpful staff.

My wife and I stayed ( 3 nights) in Kyoto for the first time. Hotel is good by Japanese and Western standards. Location opposite Nijo Castle is good with Imperial Palace within walking distance.
