This hotel is perfect if you intend to make Kyoto as your main stopping point while visiting the nearby cities and attractions, like Nara, Osaka, Nashiki Market, Bamboo Forest, etc.
It is very conveniently accessible. The main train station is just across the hotel, along with a mall with lots of food and shopping options.
They have a self-service laundry station on the second floor, which you can pay by credit card.
The breakfast buffet is costed at 1,980 yen which is considerably lesser than other hotels. The food option, though not superb, is fine. A mix of continental and Japanese menu.
The staff can understand and speak English.
I will definitely come back to this hotel when I visit the Kyoto area. I highly recommend.
