The hotel is new and compared to most hotels in Japan, you get a lot more space at Sunrise at the same price, complete with small kitchen and washer and dryer in the room. It is located directly opposite the Toji Temple and a 5 min walk to the nearest Toji station (1 stop from Kyoto station). If walking is your thing, Kyoto station is also just a 15 minutes walk away. As it is far away from main areas of attractions like Sanjio or Gion, some may find the neighbourhood boring. However, it kinda allow you to soak in the quietness Kyoto can offer and with the Toji temple view, it more than make up for it. Besides, restaurants and convenience stores are also readily available and one bus ride will take you to Sanjio in less than 30 minutes. What is most awesome about this hotel is the staff who went out of their way to ensure your stay is perfect, I can even remember their names Mr Toyama and Ms Hatakeyama as they were really helpful and hospitable. One thing I would give a it a miss will be the breakfast which is often served cold.
