    “Does the job”

    Family of 4, 2 younger kids. Went in December and its not the easiest place to get to from KIX airport. Need to transfer from Kyoto station to another station to then walk. However, once you find the place, its situated in a location where you have access to the trains and buses. We go the 3 beds + 1 sofa bed and it was a little tight.

    “Family of Four ”

    Everything else is good, the only draw back from our rooms was very slow speed internet and air conditioner is mainly control by the main control system in the hotel. Couldn’t bring the temperature lower than 20C and fan speed even though it shows high, it wasn’t blowing at all. In the middle of the night the AC stops cooling. Otherwise if you don’t care about these features then is an ok stay.
