Lorraine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent and highly recommend

Excellent location within 5 mins from Kyoto station (closest entrance and exit is the one with the McDonalds). So many food options nearby. Easy to head back to hotel for brief reset before heading out again. Hotel provides umbrellas and a coffee/espeesso machine along with ofcourse tea in the lobby. Each room equipped with laundry and drying combo machine (including detergent too). but humidity makes it hard to dry. Can ask for drying rack from the front desk but will still take 2 days or so to dry.

8/10 Very good

It was initially hard to find, but that made it quiet. The staff was nice but the housekeeping really stood out. They were really on the ball and friendly. The rooms were dark, which is okay as we needed sleep, but a bit outdated. It was nice having a washing machine.
