This hotel is not on the usual tourist trail. We always have a rental car so tend to venture off the beaten track. Staff were super friendly. Not much English but that’s just Japan and part of the adventure. Breakfast was typical Japanese hotel breakfast. Don’t ever go to Japan and expect an American Breakfast. They serve salad amongst other things. But pastries and yoghurt were also available. There is a traditional izakaya below the hotel for dinner. And convenience stores across the road. The hotel parking was easy to find and only ¥800 per night. Short walk to hotel from the parking.

Great for touring Kyoto
A very convenient hotel for touring Kyoto, situated next to a train station. No nonsense hotel. No food for westerners at the breakfast buffet...

Nice Hotel
This hotel was right next to the Seta Train Station (we used the JR Pass) and it was very convenient in catching trains to the various sites in Kyoto. The room was very small and we had an XL Twin, but the staff was super friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was pretty good. The only things we didn't care for was the cold sausage, cold scrambled eggs and lukewarm salads. The coffee maker also took a long time to brew one cup at a time. But the pastries and bread were great.

Great hotel
Friendly and very helpful staff! Clean hotel with amenities. 2 minutes away from the subway station. Many restaurants around the area. Despite being close to the subway and being located in a residential area, nights are surprisingly quiet. I would definitely come back on my next visit.
