This Is the most convenient best kept secret in Kyoto. 2 minutes WALK from Kyoto station, from any glitz you'd care to have nearby, walking distance to shrines and gardens (really!!), With large, traditional hot steaming baths for ladies and other for gents, immaculate, you even get a fresh kimono and jacket (ironed!) every morning(!), slippers fir in house, breljas in case of rain. You are across the street from
Delicatessen, 7/11, cafe, noodle shop, buses and subway.
and the price is 1/3 or less what you'd pay at the Granvia of Kyoto tower. For charm, tradition and inn-like ambiance, if you got to Kyoto, go there, and stay here: Hotel Station Kyoto Nishikan.
I have photo of my room, don't see how to upload. It is pretty spectacular a photo if I do say so myself...
