Great location and hotel
"Really nice hotel very near Kyoto station. You do have to pay a nightly city tax (200 yen) but it is all very legit and done by you on a terminal. Very nice breakfast but more Japanese than western. Kyoto station has more restaurants than you can possibly try."

The city itself is great unfortunately didn't have enough time to explore the entire city. There are a TON of temples and shrines to visit in Kyoto, kind of off putting when most of the good ones are "Pay to enter," when others in the country are not
