The rooms should be cleaned everyday especially the toilets not once in three nights. Other than that it was a very good experience

This is my second time using this Hotel in Kyoto and it was perfect again. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They have the shipping slips ready for your luggage to be shipped out. And it’s only a 10min walk from Shijõ Station.
