      “cost-effective”

      The facilities are reasonable in price, but since meals are provided and stomachs are filled, I think the cosmopolitan price is quite high. I think that dinner is at the level of what is offered in the city for about 500 to 700 yen. You can eat as much salad (lettuce, cabbage, corn, young corn, etc.) as you like for both dinner and breakfast. The large bathroom was closed due to the Corona disaster, but if you can use the large bathroom when it is available, I think it is a great cosmetic experience. They also offer luggage storage before check-in and after check-out. It was very helpful for a hotel of this price to do that.

      “That's a long way.”

      It can't be helped, but it's quite a walk from Kyoto Station.

      “寝るだけなら充分”

      1人旅でいつも利用しています。京都は食べ物が高く2食付きは、ありがたいです、主婦としては上げ膳据え膳が最高!東寺にも近く新幹線から見えるシンボルの五重塔を見に歩いて行けます。今回は、旦那を連れての旅でしたので、交通機関をよく使いました。南門前から祇園までバス1本で移動。 お安く泊まるならここしかないと思います。
