The photos of The breakfast aren't accurate, The breakfast is fine, but didn't see a single egg or a piece of fruit there in whole week. The diningroom walls were really dirty and in our room there was hairs that didn't belong to us. Staff were helpful and nice, though they didn't speak english, but still tried to help as best they could. Onsen was alright

京都駅から歩いても15分程度、最寄りの地下鉄駅からは数分の大通りにあるとてもきれいなホテル。 部屋数もとても多いようでチェックイン時はかなり混雑しており、スタッフがかかりきりになってしまうのでその他の相談要望を伝えるのに躊躇してしまった。 大浴場も深夜1時まで営業であり重宝した。 また機会があればぜひ利用したい施設。
