Experience of the stay
We traveled with two small children.
Normally, I would choose a hotel with separate bus and toilet facilities, but I found this reasonable place while searching for accommodations since we decided to stay just before our trip during the Obon holiday.
I was worried that it might not be suitable for kids (since noisy children could disturb the guests in surrounding rooms), but I was pleasantly surprised to find it was a great hotel.
The lobby had a 24-hour convenience store with local bakery bread and cute snacks, which was very appealing.
They sold instant noodles, and I was delighted to find that I could use the hot water from the water dispenser in the store to enjoy them back in the room.
There is an Aeon nearby, so we could procure food there or eat at the food court, allowing us to enjoy our stay without meals included.
Hinodeyu is an nostalgic public bath, and the kids seemed to enjoy it.
Even though our room had a unit bath, it wasn't a big concern since there was a public bath nearby.
I thought a unit bath would be difficult to use with kids, but when we returned to the room, the kids asked, "Can we take a bath in our room too?" So we used the unit bath, and it turned out to be quite convenient and nice.
I would love to stay at this hotel again next time I visit Kyoto.
Experiences during the trip
In the morning, we visited the splash pond at Umekoji Park, and in the evening we attended the summer festival at Nijo Castle.
Both were easily accessible, within 20 to 30 minutes from the hotel.
