The shuttle bus system was really helpful but if it could extend operating hours a little longer, it could be more convenient. The hotel staff was nice and breakfast buffet was awesome!

Great location, service, and shuttle bus service. You can easily walk to this location and enjoy the hotel, but it’s the shuttle bus service that saves the day when it’s as hot as the summers get in Kyoto.
