Extreme courtesy of people at reception and at breakfast (speaking english). The room was not very big but comfortable enough for two, with modern forniture, with a nice bathroom.
Breakfast is very good although with no sweet items: the choice is between four different menu based on eggs or cheese, ham etc, coffe and orange juice. Excellent quality.
The hotel is just in front of the bus stop (a few stops from Kyoto Station with bus 22 or 5) and close to metro stations, which is very useful because Kyoto is a town where buses go everywhere are frequent and easy to use thanks to the map that is given when you buy the 24 or 48h pass for bus or bus+metro at the bus information on the right when you exit the station from the central exit).
Close to the hotel are several (economical) restaurants and a few supermarkets.
Absolutely recommended for visiting Kyoto
