Very very clean , well maintained, and well-appointed. Rooms are reasonably priced. Japanese style rooms are so Rehab small, but very comfortable and bright and cheery. The bathroom was beautiful, with a wonderful tub and fixtures for the shower. We will go back the next time we are in Kyoto.

快適でした。

靴を脱いで上がる洋室に布団を敷くタイプの部屋でしたが、風呂とトイレが別でお風呂がとても快適でした。部屋の中でスリッパなしで過ごせるのは良かったです。ただし、部屋は値段なりで、広くはありません。他と比べて値段が高くなければ、また利用したいと思います。
