This hotel offers a view of the temple from the rooms with large single beds and comfortable mattresses. The location is superb, right in front of Honganji temple, with easy access to Kyoto station and nice restaurants nearby. However, the dining options were limited, and the Wi-Fi had an additional charge.

The hotel is perfectly located right in front of the Honganji temple, offering breathtaking views and comfortable rooms with large single beds. The service was attentive with pleasant housekeeping and welcoming amenities. The location couldn't be better for exploring the temple across the street and other nearby attractions.

I couldn't have asked for a more serene stay, with delightful views of the temple and comfortable beds. The service was exceptional, making me feel truly welcome. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, lacking variety in local organic products. The location, just across from the beautiful temple, was truly convenient. All in all, a great value for the experience.
