6/10
First, I don't think this should be classified as a "hotel." It is more of a vacation rental apartment. Next, I didn't understand the location of the apartment was not the same as the place to check-in, so I had to hike with my luggage 5-10 minutes to a location across from the train station. The staff is difficult to communicate with as they don't understand English very well and are busy cleaning rooms before 3pm, so you will have to call them. If you don't have international calling plan, they do have a What's App number you can call while connected to their internet, which they do respond to, luckily in my case. The other good thing about this place is that it's just around the corner from a nice grocery store and it has a washing machine; although doesn't appear to have a dryer, so you have to hang dry your clothes. Finally, it is convenient to Nijo station, which is convenient for travel to Arashiyama. My suggestion is that this place would be better suited for an extended stay situation rather than a quick visit to Kyoto.
