"Centrally located, the hotel is close to the shopping district of Shijo-Kawaramachi, but still has pretty views of the mountains beyond the city from many of the bedroom windows."

"This small hotel on Oike Dori was built some 30 years ago, but it achieves an even older ambience in its lobby with the clever use of antique-looking lighting and decor." Full review

Simple rooms are soundproof, but I still think those that face away from Oike Dori are quieter; ask for one on a higher floor.
