Nice hotel

The hotel is lovely and in a convenient place. Our room had very little natural light but it was fine for 3 nights. Cleaning of the rooms consists of making the bed and emptying the bins which is a bit of a shame. More needs to be done in the daily clean in my opinion. Breakfast was very expensive for what it was - there was very little choice and the restaurant can be ‘full’ when you arrive meaning you need to wait. The restaurant should be big enough to cater for the hotel. All in all a good experience.

It was close to public transportation. The only bad point I would mention is that they had only 2 personas during breakfast and waiting to get a table was too long.

It is far away from most attractions ending up spending lots taxi fares. Never informed beforehand that rooms are only cleaned up every three days, and you have to ask for changing towels and toilet papers in between. No formal restaurants except breakfast. Staff are friendly but the hotel needs to step up to be a true four star Best Western hotel.

Overall good stay

Centrally located near Nijo castle. Very comfortable stay. They do not have in hotel laundry facilities. They do offer laundry service but of course that is at a premium price. I was able to find a laundromat close by. Other than that everything else was great. The food was subpar at their restaurant. I wouldn’t eat there.

Room was not properly cleaned upon arrival, but staff was very accommodating and changed out bed sheets immediately. Area is quiet, but far from everything. Closest convenience store is about 5 minutes away, closest train station about 11 minutes away. Not much to do late at night and not many nearby dining options available. Rooms decor and amenities are very nice, and staff is very helpful. Just based on location, I don’t think I’ll be back since it made moving around a bit more difficult with a lot more walking and transfers needed.
