The deluxe twin room is comfortable for 2 people with 2 carry-ons and 2 small backpacks for a 16 day stay. We found the beds very comfortable. Slightly firm which we like. In our room (4th floor, street facing) the window could be opened for fresh air and a nice breeze which was a delight! Soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothbrushes, tooth paste, Q-tips epson salt bath soak, coffee, teas and Matcha tea making kit are included. Pajamas too! A pay for use laundry and beverage vending machines available. There is a lovely open air atrium on the 1st floor.
The room had heat and cool functions, was very quiet and comfortable. New towels and bottled water were brought daily and new pajamas every 3 days when the room is made up.
The breakfast buffet is delicious and included everything from scrambled eggs and sausage, salads, to Nattō, miso and mugwort wheat gluten (a fav). Also local products like the Kyoto tofu. Coffee, juice, smoothies and teas. Note- I didn’t see decaf beverages at the buffet but they can be ordered.
The hotel provides excellent included entertainment including Maiko, kabuki, ninja and karate performances. They are “just show up” events and slightly change each performance.
Location- excellent for walking, catching the subway and only 1 subway stop away from trains. Buses are a couple blocks walk. The Digital Suica card made travel easy. If you prefer cabs the hotel can call for you.
Over all a wonderful place to stay in Kyoto.
