The room was ample in size, especially for Japan. Hotel was in a good location. Not city centre, but 2 stops away in a quiet neighbourhood with a lot of history. Walking distance to everything you need, supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants. Staff were helpful an always happy to accommodate any requests. Beds were comfy and a good size, but only as single beds. No double bed, however, futons are available to use in the tatami room.

Staff very friendly, breakfast both Japanese and Western good. Reasonable sized single rooms. Very best location. Next door to Imperial Palace Gardens - unique butterflies & birds, trees 300+ yrs old - great for early/late walks open 24hours. On the main subway with only a few stops downtown. 15 mins walk from amazing Raku Museum, also Textile Museum and Niljo Castle (slightly further - Home of the Shogun)
