superb stay

great locationspacious roomhelpful staffself-service hotel
the location allowed short walks to gion in just 15 minutes. the studio twin non smoking room felt spacious compared to other japanese hotels. the staff was quite helpful. online check-in with a code for the room access eliminated any need for keys.
i noticed the hotel operated very much on a self-service basis! when i needed more toilet paper i walked to the communal supply cart. a bit more proactive service would enhance the experience.

The laundry facilities provided great convenience, and the luggage storage option allowed for extra exploration time. The hotel overall looked very new, well maintained, and also spotlessly clean! which is super important.
