Frommer's Review
I like this hotel across from Nijo Castle because it offers a few surprises you wouldn't expect in medium-range accommodations. Billing itself as a Western-style hotel with a Japanese atmosphere, it has a very nice lobby overlooking a pleasant, lush garden, which you can gaze upon from either the lobby tea lounge or the buffet-style restaurant, Azalea. Every Friday and Saturday evening at 7:30pm, the garden also serves as a stage for a free 15-minute dance presentation given by maiko (geisha apprentices). Room rates are based on decor and amenities, with higher-priced rooms offering such luxuries as Internet connections and bathroom scales along with views of Nijo Castle (note, however, that about 50 twins and two doubles face the castle, but none of the singles do). All rooms are comfortable and are outfitted with shoji screens. Despite the hotel's name, which translates as the International Hotel, more than 90% of its guests are Japanese.
Facilities:
4 restaurants; concierge; shopping arcade; salon; room service (11:45am-9:45pm); in-room massage; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms
