The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and room service was great. My room was more spacious than other hotels I’ve stayed at in Kyoto. The location is perfect with many dining options nearby and easy access to the train station. They even held my luggage after checkout so I could explore before leaving. Overall, a wonderful experience — highly recommend!
