"Overall, it was a fantastic stay!
1. The hotel is very new. The room was around 35 square meters, with a separate bedroom and bathroom, including a bathtub and a full set of amenities. There's also a public bath on B1, perfect for those who love a good soak.
2. The service was incredibly warm and welcoming. When checking in, they even escorted me to my room and explained how everything worked. Staff always greeted me enthusiastically when entering or leaving the hotel, and the room was cleaned daily.
3. The location is very convenient. It’s just a 6-7 minute walk to department stores like Daimaru and Takashimaya, as well as the Kamo River. Kiyomizu-dera Temple is about a 30-minute walk away. There are convenience stores and various restaurants nearby, yet the streets are clean and quiet. The room's soundproofing was excellent, so I wasn't disturbed by any noise.
Other notes: There's a restaurant downstairs (I didn't try it, but the menu mentioned Kobe beef). The room had a modern Japanese design – simple, cozy, and unique."
