"I stayed at The M’s Est Kyoto Station South, and the location is excellent—just a 5-7 minute walk from Kyoto Station and very close to public transportation (bus and subway). The room I chose was comfortable enough for two people, but since I was traveling solo, it felt even more spacious. It comes with a water heater, and they provide two bottles of water and green tea daily (though I wish they offered coffee too, as I’m more of a coffee person). The bed itself was okay, but the pillows were very uncomfortable. They felt like they were filled with some kind of beads/grains, which prevented me from getting a good night's sleep. On the bright side, the shower pressure was amazing! It was so strong that it felt like getting a mini-massage on my back and head. 😬 In terms of food, there’s a Japanese curry place right across the street, and Family Mart/Daily convenience stores are nearby. The price was quite reasonable, likely because mid-February isn't peak season
