Lovely small(ish) hotel. It is stylish very comfortable and has a real boutique feel. Location is good too - easy stroll to train station and underground station. A bit longer but pleasant walk to main shopping areas (market, Pontocho and Gion). Amenities could be a little better but highly recommend as a base for visit to Kyoto.
