The staff were courteous and the room was nice, but in addition to how limited the breakfast was, when three guests wanted to join us for breakfast, of course expecting to pay, we were told that was not possible. So we weren’t able to take advantage of the breakfast included in the price of the room and had to go somewhere else so we could all eat which was quite disappointing.

Great view and large room.

Room was surprisingly large, with an amazing view of Kyoto and the surrounding mountains. The bathroom was nice and the bath itself was large, which is a huge plus. Only cons were that the toilet and bath were in the same room and there was no electrical output near the bed.

The customer service was excellent. The team helped us expedite our luggage delivery to Narita. They were very kind, accommodating, and courteous to all their visitors. The cleaning team was also polite and kind. When we went to cycle around the neighbourhood, they were very kind to inform us about tourist spots in the area especially we were on the search for cherry blossoms. 🌸😁 I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family. Thank you for our wonderful stay in your hotel.

The hotel had really great views and a family mart nearby. The staff members were hit or miss. I truly mean MOST of the interactions went very well and were polite. However there was a member of staff that didn't even want to talk to me and was very rude when I had to ask for directions. (I speak japanese despite not looking like it so making xenophobic comments about me was not great). So it was mostly a nice time and the bathhouse section is beautiful. But that staff members treatment turned me off from ever returning.

A good option to stay in Kyoto…but

While my wife and I had a nice stay at the hotel, I have a few useful pieces of information for foreigners travelling to this hotel. 1. The rooms don’t have a bath or shower. You wash in the hotel’s bath. If you have tattoos you will only be able to wash late at night for cultural reasons. The baths however were lovely. Sitting in a hot tub after walking 25k steps in a day is really nice. I looked forward to my long soak by the end of the 3rd night. 2. The futons provided are Japanese style, not Western style. I had a good sleep all three nights but in my ignorance I expected a sofa bed. 3. We booked a smoking allowed room thinking it would be okay because it was cheaper. The highway of the floor and the actual room smelt really strongly of tobacco. Like someone was smoking strong cigars. If the smell bothers you, you will find staying there difficult.
