“I think it's rare to find such generously sized rooms complete with individual kitchens, especially so close to Kyoto Station; and the inclusion of a washer/dryer is a real advantage for longer stays or families. I noted the proximity to Toji Temple, and with the hotel being family and culturally oriented, it seems ideal for those keen to explore Kyoto's heritage with all the comforts of home.”
