Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • A bit out of the city centre — The hotel is in northern Kyoto, not central, so reaching the main sights takes a bit longer, though the subway is close.
  • Subway access is close but not immediate — While the subway is nearby, some guests mention it is 'slightly outside' the hotel, implying a short walk rather than direct access.
  • Facilities score is relatively low — The Facilities rating sits at 6.6, lower than other categories, but no specific complaints appear in the reviews.
