The staff are very helpful. The buffet breakfast is impressive (several kinds of juice, smoothies, salad, bread, meat, dessert, soup, fruit, etc.). Room cleaning is good. Self service laundry is free of charge. Since the guests tend to leave their laundry unattended, it may take time to wait for people to clear the washing and drying machines. Guests can also experience Japanese style public bath. The location is convenient beacause it nears a subway station (Kujo) and it takes about 7 mins walk to Kyoto station.
