"The hotel is located on a busy road in Kyoto but once you enter the hotel the noise and congestion of the street disappears. The rooms are very modern with a Japanese theme. There is a laundry room in the basement with 4 or 5 machines but they fill very quickly. Unless you’re willing to get up early it maybe difficult to wash your clothes. I enjoyed the breakfast and they offer 6 hot meals to choose from when you first sit down. You can also order an omelette separately. This in addition to the standard buffet. There are a lot of restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. You should be able to easily find something. If you are on a budget there is also a 7-11 and grocery store very close by. The only slight disappointment was the dinner. You receive a 20% discount. The food was very nice but the proportions were much smaller than I expected. "
