Room was very clean, but on the small side and the window opens but doesn't have much of a view. Breakfast selection was good and staff friendly, just the lobby tended to get very busy and crowded with guests at various times throughout the day. The public bath was great, kept clean.

Everything shopping was walking distance. Safe to walk around and find all the things you wanted and didn't know you wanted. Very clean and everything was easy and convenient to get to, whether by Taxi or bus. The hotel itself was amazing. The staff was so friendly and helped with what ever was needed. Will definitely stay again when I return to Kyoto.
