I noticed a review mentioning a beach nearby. Can you clarify if there are actual beaches in Kyoto?
05 February 2024
Unfortunately, there are no beaches in Kyoto, indicating that the review may have been mistaken.

The location is great. Bus stops are just outside. i found the free tea and juice bar near the entrance useful, specially the complimentary juice. i could also leave my luggage when checking out. the beds and pillows were so comfortable. there was an air purifier in the room, a very good feature!
the window didn't open. so, the room was always a little stuffy.

i thought the room size was great. there was enough space for luggage storage. the bathroom being separate from the toilet was a major plus. breakfast was also tasty. i will definitely come back!
The noise isolation wasn't perfect. i could hear street sounds. it made falling asleep a little difficult. It was on the fifth floor!
