Impressed with Cleanliness and Convenient Location

super clean roomseamless check-inconvenient transport
The room was super clean. The check-in and check-out process was seamless. Public transport was a short walk away. The nearby streets and shrines allowed for exploration.
The room did not allow opening of the window. It became too warm despite the cool weather outside.

Breakfast featured a wide array of options. The selections were primarily Asian cuisines. I noticed an available supermarket around the corner. It is convenient for alternate meal options.

Acceptable Hotel Stay

clean bathroomcomfortable bedcigarette smelllimited breakfast
The hotel is near two subway stations. It is also walkable to Higashiyama. The bed was comfortable (i slept very well). The room was neat and the bathroom was very clean.
There was a smell of cigarettes. I chose a non-smoking room. The breakfast had only asian food, so if you are not used to it there is nothing else.
