This is an excellent hotel where we would gladly stay again. The location is ideal, just minutes walking from Kyoto station, the hub of travel, restaurant dining and shopping. The hotel is run superbly, with exceedingly clean rooms and access to a broad range of toiletries easily accessed in the lobby. Breakfast was ideal: A buffet with high-quality options of both Japanese and western styles. The staff kept the area well-stocked and spotlessly clean. We travelled to 5 countries over 4 months and this was one of our best stays.

The staff were kind, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. Laundry can be busy, but the in-room channel clearly shows machine availability. We would definitely stay here again!

I had a seamless experience from check-in to check-out. The staff was exceptionally courteous and proactive in attending to my needs, and the entire facility was well-maintained. The location is a major highlight—being just a five-minute walk from the central station and bus hub made navigating the city effortless. I also appreciated the thoughtful extras, particularly the complimentary drink and snack hour, which was a great way to unwind and socialise with other guests. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Kyoto!
