Location is good - nearest local subway station is Shijio which is 8 minutes walk or 1 bus stop away and Shijio station is 2 stops away from Kyoto station. Alternatively, there is a direct bus #50 or book a ride from Go app (about 1,500yen). Bus #207 adjacent street can bring you to Nishiki Market, Gion and Kiyomizu-dera temple area - along the bus journey, you will bypass shopping district which you can find ABC Mart, Lush, Daimaru, Ichiran Ramen, Takashimaya and many more).
Next to the hotel, there is a family mart. Within 150m walk, you can find MOS burger, Tully's coffee and local ramen shop.
We booked the Premier room - interior was nice and cozy with a mixed of both traditional and modern feel. However, we hardly had the space to accommodate our 2 large and 2 small bags.
Staff are friendly and nice. Basic English communication is ok.
