Seto Beach

Very nice hotel in a convenient location in Kyoto. About a 8 minute walk to Kyoto station, 3 minutes from Shichijo station, one block from major street for buses. A 7-11 a minute away. Quieter area which is south of the major shopping streets and tourist attractions. There was a little street noise on the morning but not overly bad. Rooms are large. Only 4 rooms per floor. Got a jr suite which has a nice couch and table with fridge, toaster oven and utensils. There is an Nespresso machine with pods. The clothes washer has a drying feature as well which is useful. Although you could always hang clothes on the shower room and turn on the drying feature. Dyson hairdryer in the washroom. Found the room to be confusing with all the light switches. Even with all the lights it felt dark, but especially in the front door area where the washer is (almost impossible to see the buttons without a flashlight). There are 2 large windows in the room but they do not open anywhere and the view outside is the brick wall of the building 3 feet over! The TV is hung on the wall right across from the beds so it is a tight squeeze to get into the washroom, and sometimes bumped the TV. Should have been over the couches.
