What a beautiful oasis in the middle of Kyoto! Every single attention to detail was made. Rooms were gorgeous, food was amazing, staff was very helpful and friendly. Easily one of the finest hotels I have stayed in, period. Only room for improvement was that I wished they had more lunch options, it was merely the dinner menu (and dinner prices) for lunch.

One of the best experiences we had. They had a beautiful card from the kids club for my little one in our room when we entered our room and they wanted her to go and play with the kids. She loved the club and specially Miss Saki. Miss Saki went above and beyond to make her happy. She even gave her a beautiful card with a nice water bottle the last day we were leaving. My daughter is missing her everyday and she can't wait to go back. The room, the food, room service, communication,...everything was top notch. Thank you so much six senses. We miss you everyday and we can't wait to come back.

They also gave us many gifts! The bar was awesome it was the best mood and relaxing. The staff were so polite and helpful every time we needed a taxi they would call them, and they made great interactions with the kids! Thank you six senses.
