Urban Hotel Minami Kusatsu

Location: Superb close to JR (right beside the hotel), 24/7 supermarket, family mart, 7/11, restaurants nearby (if you willing to walk several steps further), quite and relaxing surrounding. Room: Clean, cozy and comfort. Staff: Friendly and helpful. Facility: There is laundry room which contain paid washing maching and clothes dryer which help you to travel light or spare more spaces for shopping. Note: It takes about 20 minutes to Kyoto Station. Great option (if the price match your budget), you are fine with extra travelling cost/time for nice surroundings and 24/7 supermarket is a sweetspot for late evening groceries.

The hotel was clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and helpful (which is a common theme in Japan). The hotel isn't located in Kyoto itself but is just a 10 minute train ride into the city. The great part is that it is located literally directly next to the station and there is a 24 hour family mart right next to the hotel also (so it's very convenient especially with a JR pass). Absolutely provides good bang form your buck. Overall, a great hotel.
