Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Location is slightly away from the main city hub — While near the station, the hotel is not in the atmospheric center of Kyoto, which some guests felt had less atmosphere. Those wanting to be in the thick of the action might prefer elsewhere.
- Check-in starts at 15:00 — If you arrive earlier, rooms may not be ready, though one guest was lucky to get their room at 10:30 am. It depends on occupancy.
- Comfort rating is comparatively lower — While overall ratings are strong, the 'Comfort' category scores 7.4, which is the lowest among the rating categories. This could indicate some guests found certain aspects of comfort lacking.
