📍 **Location**: Convenient, with two supermarkets nearby (Life and Fresco), making it easy to grab food and essentials.
🚌 **Getting around**: Kyoto mainly relies on buses, so the location works well if you’re traveling light.
🧳 **From Kyoto Station**: If you have big luggage, taking the metro can be inconvenient as it involves about a 1 km walk. I took an Uber instead, which cost around ¥2,000 — much more comfortable after a long trip.
💧 **Amenities**: Drinking water is provided near the lift, but you’ll need to collect it yourself daily.
🧺 **Laundry**: There’s a washing machine with washer + dryer available for about ¥800 per use. Payment can be made by IC card (like ICOCA) or cash.
🍱 **Breakfast**: Mostly local Japanese options. It’s good to try, but you may not need to take it every day unless you really enjoy local cuisine 😅
🛗 **Lift access**: The lift doesn’t go directly from the ground floor to your room. You’ll first go up to the hotel lobby on the 3rd floor, then change to another lift to access your room.
💡 **Tip**: Consider taking a taxi/Uber on arrival if you have heavy luggage, then use buses for daily travel.
Overall, a comfortable stay with a practical location!
