Great stay! Excellent hotel

helpful staffcomfortable roomsconvenient locationenjoyable public bath

I found the staff quite helpful, they assisted us with taxi bookings to the station. The rooms were very nice and neat. The location proved very convenient, being about a 10 minute walk to both Gojo and Nishiki Market. Also the public bath was enjoyable, it provided a few amenities.

The breakfast area was a little small, it got busy. Sometimes i had to queue a few minutes. The selection was adequate, but expanded choices would be great.
