Urban Hotel Kyoto Gojo Premium

Pretty good. The room size was decent, and the bathroom wasn't cramped. **Amenities:** Complete. Though small, it had everything you needed. **Cleanliness:** Good. **Environment:** Close to the bus station, right across from the hotel. You can pretty much get to all the main attractions. **Service:** Good.

The room was quite spacious, about 20 square meters, so there was plenty of space to lay out luggage without any worries. The bathroom was also a good size with a separate wet and dry area. However, I didn't use the shower there as I went to the large public bath on the 9th floor instead. Soaking in it was a great way to relieve the fatigue of a day of travel. The hotel is conveniently located right next to a bus stop, offering easy access to places like the National Museum, Ichiran Ramen (Shijo branch), and Shinshindo Bakery (Shijo branch).

The air conditioning wasn't very effective and was quite noisy. The room's power system requires the key card to be inserted, meaning all electricity turns off as soon as you leave, which was incredibly inconvenient. On the positive side, AirPlay connectivity was a definite plus. Breakfast was crowded and disorganized, and guests weren't even allowed to choose their own tables. The selection was decent, though. The cake and freshly fried fish pieces were delicious, but the bread was nothing special.
