“This 3-star hotel places you well for exploring Kyoto's cultural heart, nearby Nijo Castle and Nishiki Market are both easily accessible. The property offers a budget-conscious option without sacrificing essential comforts like air-conditioned rooms and private bathrooms. While generally fine, some guests have reported security lapses, so it's worth confirming safety protocols.”
