Family friendly but small room

Child friendly with a small tatami area for kids play. Equipped with toys, stuffed toys, games and books for young ones. Good breakfast too. The loft doesn't have an extra bed, but more of a playing/sitting area.

Very helpful staff rooms are very clean and there is a nice sitting area in the lobby that serves food and drinks. The neighborhood is full of interesting little restaurants and it is not far from many of the major attractions. The hotel is a great value for the price.

Friendly place close to Shijo subway. Breakfasts were nice, rooms a little hot and small, would be good if you could open windows. Communal area really hip and food and cocktails were good value. Would recommend
