The Besso Soso Kyoto

In my opinion it actually looked better in person than the photos. It was quiet and more spacious than I expected. It was very beautiful, clean, lots of amenities, enough that you really don't need to get out of the house at all if you don't want to or can't for whatever reason that night. It's in a reasonable walking distance even with luggage from Kyoto station, and has access to other transportation options nearby. The atmosphere is really nice, bathrooms was excellent, great deep spacious bath, optional rain showers. Instructions was very well done and there is also a booklet to guide you through all the things the building has to offer. The attention to detail is wonderful. Emptying the bath did sound like you were trying to summon a demon near the end (The draining worked great and was very fast, but loud as a result), but all in all a great experience, definitely recommend. I'd love to stay here again at some point.

the location was amazing.

The host/manager was nice to allow us to drop our luggage first in the morning.
