Room was very spacious and clean. Breakfast was good. You had either a western or Japanese option on top of the Buffett. Japanese course meal was unique. It would have the description under each mini bowl which was very convenient. Location was the best. Close to the shopping area, Gion, Nishiki Market, Pontocho Alley, and Kamo River.
