"Onsen hotel in kyoto, the onsen and the massage chairs were fantastic. Staff spoke a small amount of English and were able to sort out most issues that we had. Rooms were extremely dark, but the bed and pillows were hard, it took some adjustments for my wife and I to get to sleep."
"This wasn’t our favorite hotel in Japan. It did not have has many amenities and no free coffee like many (all) of the other hotels we stayed in in the country. The shower also wasn’t very hot and got water all over the bathroom. That being said, it was a good location and clean. It did the job, just wasn’t anything special."
"Realistically, for most people, this hotel will probably give you the biggest room you'll get in Japan. We had a room with a large, low, bed, two armchairs and a table and a good size wardrobe to keep things organised, as well as the room having a lot of free space to organise ourselves. It was a genuinely stunning room too - sort of traditional looking but with modern conveniences. The bathroom was also huge, with a shower and a jacuzzi bath.
The layout of the hotel is a little bit odd - our room was technically the same floor as the road but the way you're meant to go involves going to the basement level, through reception and up some stairs (there's a shortcut through a door marked staff only which you may end up nipping through if you're on that floor...) - there was a rooftop bar but it was closed when we tried it. Staff were all very nice and incredibly helpful. The included breakfast (we went for western style) was varied and delicious.
Location wise I would say it's pretty good - you're not in the hustle and bustle of downtown Kyoto but it's very walkable and there's a bus route nearby from Gion. There's a metro station roughly 10 mins walk down the side of the imperial palace grounds. Laundry is service only, no machine but if you need simple washing facilities there's a good laundrette about mins away that takes around an hour - leave your clothes and walk around the national park.
Overall I'd definitely stay here again."
