Just returned from Kyoto for a short 4 day stay with family.
Would recommend: Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae
https://richmondhotel.jp/en/kyoto-ekimae/
Pros:
1. Affordable rates with nice reasonably sized, clean, well designed room. Separate WC & shower area, with sufficient storage areas (including trouser press)
2. Large 50' TV with up-till-date VOD (including adult

) and ease of use Airplay/Mirrorcast
3. Good Japanese breakfast buffet
4. Amenities are readily available @ lobby (eg, bath salts, beauty face masks, disposable towels, razors, tea, coffee, etc)
5. Complementary afternoon snacks from 1-5pm (eg, matcha parfait, coffee, tea)
6. Complementary dinner drinks from 6-830pm (eg, sake, wine, nuts)
7. 10min walk from Kyoto station
8. Self-check out station
Cons:
1. I cant think of any .. really. No in-house hot springs. But then again .. you're in the Kyoto city itself. There are plenty around.
I love this new find.
