Nice surprise

This hotel was actually a nice surprise. The rooms are ok (nothing special), but the location of the hotel was fantastic. It is literally right next to a train station. This station can take you to just about any attraction you want to go to. That made getting around Kyoto fairly easy for us. The staff also spoke English very well and were full of helpful information for getting around and seeing some of the sites. The only complaint I have is their map. Don't trust the distances. The Nijo Castle looked pretty close on the map, but it ended up being almost a half hour walk. I recommend using the trains and buses as much as possible (so yes, buy an all day pass for both, it will be cheaper). I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Kyoto though.

For business travelers, only

The room furnishings were showing signs of wear. We only had an ancient hot plate and tiny metal pot to make "tea". It plugged in next to the TV, which caused us distress every time the little pot of water boiled over. The front desk staff was attentive and tried hard, but lost our room key anyway, which they insist you return each time you leave the hotel to go out. There are no 24 hour food stores nearby, and the hotel's restaurant was insanely expensive, even for Kyoto.
