Wonderful hotel with large rooms and a breakfast with high quality and good selection. Rooms have newer lighting system which I found very confusing at first. They need to have operation instructions. Nice lounge available during the day with free beverage and light snacks.

We stayed four nights as a family of 5. Room was great, clean, functional, fresh and well cooled with an absolutely silent AC. The afternoon activities and evening drinks and snacks were nice additional. The hotel location was fantastic with lovely small back street right outside the door and public transport within a short walk. We will definitely go back if back in Kyoto another time.

IT is a very good hotel, well located. I just find the breakfast price a bit salty. You do not eat all the Japanese food and so it is quite expensive. Hotel staff very kind and helpfull. l

Staff was very helpful. The lobby and public areas are very clean. I was disappointed when I got a notice saying I would be charged 3000yen a night if we continued to use the the duvet for the sofa bed. The beds are very small for an adult and child. We opted for eco-cleaning, but the beds were only made once.

Lovely hotel in a great location - a little less crazy than central hotels. Staff (particularly the restaurant greeters) were simply lovely! Friendly, courteous and very efficient. Breakfast was excellent quality and great variety, well worth including in your stay. Social hour could get a little busy (holiday weekend?) but the food and drinks on offer were excellent. VERY happy with our Kyoto hotel choice!

This hotel was a beautiful sanctuary in Kyoto. The foyer and lounge were spacious and luxurious, and the generous buffet breakfast and complimentary drinks and snacks in the lounge were a highlight. Our room was smaller than we expected, but everything was impeccably clean, modern and well planned. Highly recommend.

Nice sized and comfortable rooms with a stylish reception area, daily “activities” and a “premium lounge” available to all guests with snacks and, after 17:00, alcoholic drinks. Good area of Kyoto with easy access to transport and the market. Only minor weakness is the lack of a hotel bar or anywhere really to sit and have a coffee or drink after 21:00 hours following a day of “temple hopping”.
