We chose this hotel because our trip back to KIX airport is at 4:30am via the bus service. And because we'll be checking out early, might as well look for more affordable option. They said it's near the bus station/Kyoto station, so we booked it. The good: The staff are very nice and helpful. There's free coffee and tea at the lobby. Pretty safe walk to the hotel. The shower pressure is great. The bad: Hotel itself is pretty far from Kyoto Station. Not good if you'll go around Kyoto (which you would) because the nearest transportation is around 650m away. No restaurant within 5 minute walk. It is the cheapest in the area and it feels like it. Other hotels would have a warmed toilet seat, this one doesn't. The ugly: I requested for one big bed because it's our honeymoon. They gave us 2 singles beds joined together to look like one. The GAP is unbearable! Joining beds like this to look like one big bed should be made illegal! We ended up booking another hotel on our 2nd night just to make ourselves feel better. We still went back on the 3rd night because of the early trip back.
