Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so those traveling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 23:00, which might be tight for late arrivals. The staff, however, are noted for accommodating late check-ins.
- Early check-out — Check-out is between 08:00 and 10:00, which is earlier than many Western hotels. Guests who prefer a slow morning may find it rushed.
- Parking is limited to handicap spaces — On-site parking is only for disabled guests, so most travelers should plan to use public transport or nearby lots. The proximity to Kyoto Station makes car-free travel easy.
