The best hotel to stay in Kyoto. The hotel’s conveniently located near the trains, but is also in the quieter side of Kyoto which I prioritise on my holidays. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The hotel itself had great breakfast an ambience to the hotel. 5/5 stars!!

A very solid tourist class 4 star hotel. Rooms were immaculately clean. Some rooms are a bit on the small side but not bad for Japan. The location is perfect just a couple blocks from the main train station. The breakfast was ok. Free soft drinks and coffee at all times is a nice touch. The bathrooms are huge. Very solid if you don’t plan on spending too much time inside the room. All spaces in the hotel were immaculately clean.

Location was good, walking distance to Kyoto Station. Got the superior twin room, which was a decent size compared to other hotel rooms. However, there was no view from our window. Room amenities and daily housekeeping was great. They offered free drinks in the lounge. Breakfast was okay for the price, not a lot of choices for a buffet. Had better breakfast elsewhere. Front desk staff was okay.

The room was wonderful, bed was clean ans comfortable, and i loved the shower/bath in its own room. Makes for a nice spa like evening after walking 30k steps. 5 minutes away from kyoto station and lots to see and do in the surrounding area. They also have a hotel onsen for patrons. I will come back on my next trip to Kyoto.
