Location wise it's very strategic as it's very close to almost all attractions. Just a 10-minute walk to Honolu Ramen Premier Kyoto Gion, Gion Tatsumi Bridge, and Kyoto town which is near most of the shopping shops, e.g., Onitsuka Tiger, H&M, Uniqlo, GU. Oh, worry not, they also provide a luggage storage service (with no charges) just in case if you arrive early and want to explore other attractions before the check-in time without carrying the luggage load. Lastly, their receptionists are very fluent in English, hence don't worry if you are unable to speak Japanese, as they will assist you accordingly. I very recommend you guys to stay at this hotel.
