"This small hotel on Oike Dori was built some 30 years ago, but it achieves an even older ambience in its lobby with the clever use of antique-looking lighting and decor." Full review

Simple rooms are soundproof, but I still think those that face away from Oike Dori are quieter; ask for one on a higher floor.

"A Western-style hotel that is very well located on the main shopping street and just round the corner from the Kyoto Museum."
