the location, its just great! it's near yasaka shrine and gion souvenir stores, so cool. the staff were friendly and accommodating, and i love that! the beds were comfy at a medium-soft firmness. this is good for me.
the room felt not so clean in the room or around the hotel. i saw a lot of black hairs in the bathroom on arrival and after housekeeping cleaned it too. the room was small but i expected that as i know where this hotel is located.
