Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — Despite one room type being named 'dog friendly', the hotel policy explicitly states pets are not allowed, so plan accordingly if travelling with an animal.
  • Check-in ends at midnight — Check-in is from 15:00 until 23:59, so if you arrive later, you'll need to make other arrangements.
  • First-come, first-served breakfast — Guests mention breakfast with a good selection, but the hotel doesn't advertise it as an included or guaranteed amenity, so availability may vary.
  • Some rooms are smoking — While non-smoking rooms are available, certain double and twin rooms are designated for smoking, which could affect room choice if you're sensitive to odours.
  • Below-average rating for the area — The hotel's 7.6 score sits below the Kyoto average of 8.7, so it may not match higher expectations in the city.
