Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking listed — The hotel does not advertise parking, so guests arriving by car may need to find nearby options.
- Pets are not allowed — The hotel has a no-pets policy, so you’ll need to make other arrangements for your pet.
- Check-in ends at midnight — If you arrive after 23:59, you’ll need to plan ahead, as reception closes for check-in at that time.
- Location is east of central Kyoto — It’s about 3.9 km from Maruyama Park, so some key sights require a train ride or longer walk.
