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.
