Really good Stay in a Prime Location

central location clean room helpful staff shower room
The location is amazing, nestled among picturesque streets near famous Geisha districts and temples. Staff were very helpful. The room I stayed in was impeccably clean and a reasonable size. I liked the shower roomwith a bathtub.
The limited space for storing clothes meant I had to live out of my suitcase for a few days.
