Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast comes at an extra charge — The breakfast buffet is not included in the room rate and must be paid for separately, per guest reviews.
- Not right at the main sights — The hotel is about 5 minutes' drive from Takasegawa River and needs a bus ride to reach famous temples and Kyoto Station.
- Limited bicycle availability — Free bicycles are available only until 9 pm and a guest notes only two are on offer — first come, first served.
- Modest overall rating — With a score of 7.2 from 3,164 reviews, the property sits below the Kyoto area average of 8.7, so expectations on service and facilities should be tempered.
