An awesome hotel with amazing service. The room was very Japanese style, which is exactly what we wanted, and I'm glad we had the opportunity to stay there. We had a great view of the temple next door. It was also reasonably priced.
The room itself had some scuff marks on the wall. You can see where cleaning staff have attempted to remove other marks to the best of their abilities, but it needs a repaint. There was also nowhere to put your bags, aside from the centre table or floor.
The bathroom looked amazing and was great to use, however the wet area smelt of mould, but there was no visible mould. I think if they removed the Cypress bathtubs this would resolve the issue.
The air conditioner was overly loud. Even when it was turned off, there was an audible sound with constant airflow happening.
The staff were amazing. When we checked in the attendant gave us a map and suggested places we visit. This made our Kyoto trip as we didn't have much of a plan when we arrived. He also suggested a Ramen spot across the road that was awesome.
We had a great time and stay in Kyoto, I recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again in the future.
