  • Away from the main station — The hotel is a 20-minute walk from Kyoto's main station, over roads that one guest described as bumpy.
  • Staff rating lags other categories — While service is generally rated well, the Staff score of 6.7 suggests some inconsistency in interactions.

“The room was big and comfortable, with excellent amenities, soft beds, and a lovely small garden. The location is a bit far from the main station, but the walk of around 20 minutes on bumpy roads was manageable. The only drawback was checking in at a cafe about 10 minutes away, which was a bit inconvenient.”
