Super convenient location just behind Kyoto Station - you can catch the bus or trains from here to just about anywhere in Kyoto or walk to Gion in about 30min. Hotel offers complimentary tea and coffee throughout the day and a 'welcome' drink each night from 5:30 (beer, wine, spirits, mocktails); the lobby is open-air with firepits, making it a nice place to sit and relax. Good restaurant for breakfast and dinner (might be worthwhile booking a table as got quite busy). Rooms are compact but functional with a nice balcony area. Complimentary laundry facilities was a nice surprise.
