The Restaurant at Hearton Hotel Kyoto

"The entrance is non-descript, but the hotel is very smart and good value, as there are a number of more upscale touches (all the single rooms have semidouble beds, for example), and two good restaurants"

"Its best feature is its location, practically around the corner from Karasumaoike Station, where two subway lines interconnect, and within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, and cafes"
