Great sized rooms with plenty of extras - really thoughtful of any needs. Location is super convenient and walkable distance to the main temple Kiyomizu-dera as well as the city center. They also have a great onsen, which is very relaxing after a full day of sightseeing. Will definitely come back here when I visit Kyoto again.
