10/10 Exceptional

The lady receptionist is really nice and helpful. The room is nice and clean. Everything is equipped. The toilet room, separate from the bathroom, is quite small! The one rule in this hotel is that no shoes are allowed inside the hotel, even the area outside of your room. Near the entrance to the staircase to the rooms, there is a huge shoe rack with rug, which frankly needs to be washed because it's quite smelly from all the stinky socks/shoes that people have set their feet on. Receptionist hours are limited, 9-11am and 3-6pm. The hotel is kind of far from Kyoto Station, and you would have to walk 1/2 hr. to reach the subway or JR station. You can get the daily bus pass, which also covers the subway, for 1100 yens. Make sure to get the 1100 yens (a magnetic type card) NOT the 1000 yen, which only has prepaid tickets for buses only! There is a LIFE supermarket, but that's like 1/2 hr. walk. However, there is Kohyo supermarket (smaller than LIFE) nearby (about 10 minutes walk) but has a lot of selections. There are not that many temping restaurants near the hotel.
