Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rating is below the area average — The hotel's 7.8 rating sits below Kyoto's average of 8.7, suggesting the experience may not meet everyone's expectations.
- One guest was underwhelmed — A review rated 5 out of 10 felt the hotel did not stand out, despite acknowledging the location and room size.
- Parking is limited — While a car park exists, there is no detail on availability or cost, and it may be an extra expense or limited spaces.
- Smoking rooms available — Some room types are designated as smoking, which could be a drawback for non-smokers—ensure you book the non-smoking option.
