The place is difficult to find as it is on a narrow back street and there is no hotel name in english .
The Kyoto tourist information centre staff have never heard of it . After looking around the streets in the general vicinty i found a building which resembles the picture ( on the Wotiff website ) , but a different colour . An elderly gentleman helped me locate the right building and find the only staff member . After a quick tour of the facilities , he showed me my room and vanished . I never saw him or another staff member for the next 2 days . The room was ok but had a strange smell and the bed consisted of a thin futon type matress which you rolled out on the floor , a thin blanket , a quilt and a thin pillow . There is 1 shared toilet on the 2nd floor , a shared shower and bath on the ground floor . The hotel consist of 3 floors with 4 rooms on the 2nd floor and i guess 4 rooms on the 3rd floor . The hotel was reasonable clean .
