    The atmosphere was really charming, and it was very close to some of the major sites like Nijo Castle. The room was beautiful, and the shared space was full of fun decorations. The staff was very friendly and I like that they gave us nearby...

    Staff were very friendly and helpful. I had no complaints with the quality of the facilities. Obviously this is not a fancy hotel but everything was nice, functional, and had a friendly vibe. I liked the location too, it was quiet and pretty close...
