This was listed as adults only which I interpreted as no kids. I booked 7 nights and included the $2/day in-breakfast. It soon became clear this small and nice hotel was suitable for couples as well with not only daily rates but partial day rates; this apparently is fairly common in Japan with the "adults only" tag.
The staff was not well versed in English, but all communications were successful. The staff was very kind and accommodating too. The room was very nice, comfortable, and well featured, even offering some more "couples" orientated features. The room keys were real keys and when leaving for the day, you would return the key to the front desk and you were given a custody card to retrieve the key on your return. The meeting venue I was going to was only a couple blocks away, and withing a few blocks are a number of eating establishments.
I felt safe in the hotel, I felt comfortable with my belongings there, I felt safe walking around the area during daylight and night time.
The rate was much lower chain hotels in that area and it was a very pleasing and safe place to stay. It may not have all the amenities of the big chains, but the Wi-Fi was very fast and included in the rate.
If I go back to Kyoto, and my destination was reasonably close, I would choose this hotel again and as well recommend it to other adult travelers, traveling alone or with a partner.
Overall rating would be 9.7/10
