Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Narrow check-in window — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 19:00, which may be restrictive for travellers arriving later in the evening.
  • No on-site parking — With no parking listed, guests arriving by car will need to find alternative arrangements, which could be inconvenient in Kyoto.
  • Not pet-friendly — Pets are not allowed on site, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • No smoking on site — The property is entirely non-smoking, which may be a drawback for smokers.
