Really good Stay!!!
excellent location easy access comprehensive maps
The location is excellent. Nishiki Market is just a minute's walk. Karasuma Station Exit 13 is also easily accessible in one or two minutes. I found a halal eatery, Ayam-Ya, about five to eight minutes away. Buses provide convenient access to Kiyomizu and Gion too. The tourist maps provided were comprehensive.
The laundry machine did not dry clothes completely. This.

Each floor had a bathroom, and showers were on the ground floor. I found the entrance resembled a beauty salon. I even did laundry while showering, everything was always clean. The hotel supplied toothbrushes and loungewear.
