“This place feels modern and stylish, and the staff are very professional. My twin room overlooked the street and had an electric kettle, fridge, and glassware. It was immaculate, with a bidet. The location in Kyoto is excellent, close to restaurants, bars, and clubs, plus trains to Tokyo. Café Ishibei is just 100 meters away.”
