Frommer's Recommended

Popular with tourists thanks to its great location just opposite Kyoto Station and its reasonable rates, this chain hotel opened more than 80 years ago but underwent a much-needed renovation in 2000 and now offers clean and pleasantly decorated Western-style rooms, all with feather quilts and smallish bathrooms. Note that all the singles have tiny glazed windows (which could drive the claustrophobic over the brink) but do have semi-double-size beds. The most expensive twins, large for this price category, face Kyoto Station.
