The facilities are average. The sensor light in the toilet is broken. If you don't pull the window carefully, it will derail and make a rattling sound. The tea room only has tea sets and no hot water kettle. It is just a pretense and I feel that the operator is not strict in management.
The hygiene is okay and the environment inside the store is good. It's a pity that it is run by Indians. I feel that they just copied the gourd and failed to inherit Japanese culture and thoughtful and nuanced service concepts. The energy atmosphere in the store is cold.
Very low value for money hotel experience.

Needless to say about the environment and service~ It would be even better if you could book a room with a private garden~
The only small problem is that there are racing gangs nearby, and the sound insulation of the old house is not that good. It is absolutely safe to wear earplugs~~

Sowaka, Kyoto, consists of a new building and an old building. The old building does not accept children under 12 years old, but the new building does. The old hotel has a history of 110 years. After the renovation, it is really modern. The original well is retained and the stove is in the reception area. It feels great. The hotel overall is very good and the service is also very good. I will choose it again next time I come.

Room 105 has a duplex structure, and each small living area has unique exquisiteness outside the window. I really like the deep bathtub next to the window.

Because we brought children, according to the hotel's regulations, we cannot live in a room in the old building. After arriving at the store, the staff showed us other room types and made replacements, which was very considerate.
