A lovely, clean, comfortable hotel in an exceptional location! 10 mins walk from Nijo station, 15 mins from Nijo Castle, dozens of small, excellent restaurants within 10 minutes, and the atmosphere in the neighbourhood is really pleasant, especially in the evening. The hotel rooms were clean and had great amenities, the individual toilet and shower were clean and good quality. A communal washing machine offered free laundry (free detergent was available at the front desk) and the bathroom doubles as a drying room. The staff were very helpful, and spoke good English when my Japanese failed. Would definitely choose here again!
