Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a convenient location, with easy access to public transport and shopping areas. The rooms are tiny, making it challenging to find space for luggage, but they are clean and well-kept. The service is friendly and helpful, although a bit formal. The dining options offer a choice between Japanese and Western cuisine, although the value for money could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and inconvenience. The rooms were very clean and functional but felt cramped for two people, making it a bit uncomfortable. However, the spacious rooms with large windows offered a spectacular view, enhancing the overall experience. The service was top-notch, with helpful and polite staff who even went out of their way to assist with printing English information. The location was convenient for exploring Kyoto's shopping and tourist areas, although not directly on the JR line. The dining experience was excellent, especially for fish dishes. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, contributing to a pleasant stay overall.
I truly enjoyed my stay here! The hotel offers a lovely view of the city and great light with its two huge windows in the room. However, the rooms were a bit small by normal western standards.
The hotel had small but acceptable rooms, making it feel almost like a 5-star hotel with the big ceiling. The service was exceptionally helpful, although a bit on the quiet and formal side. The location was perfect, situated in downtown Kyoto with easy access to many amenities. The dining experience offered a variety of options worth trying. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor room size issues to consider.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was superb, right in the heart of shopping and tourist areas in Kyoto, with easy access to various attractions and restaurants. The rooms were surprisingly spacious, but could be a tight fit for two people with large luggage. The service was friendly, though there were some communication challenges. The dining options were a bit limited, but the vegan breakfast prepared for my daughter was a thoughtful touch.
My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable overall. The rooms, although a bit tiny, had everything I needed, and the complimentary tea with a lovely smell was a nice touch. However, the rooms were some of the smallest I've encountered, so consider an upgrade if you have large luggage. The service was extremely helpful and the staff knew the city well, making my time in Kyoto enjoyable. The location was excellent, central to many attractions and restaurants, providing easy access to explore. Dining options were a mix, with some experiences being a bit strange or overpriced. Despite that, I had a great time due to the proximity to various key spots in Kyoto. The facilities were decent, allowing for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Kyoto, near shopping areas and public transportation. The rooms, though small, have all the necessary amenities. The service is outstanding, with knowledgeable and accommodating staff. The dining options, while pleasant, may not suit all preferences. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay.
The hotel offers a top-notch experience with cozy rooms but limited storage space. The service is outstanding with personalized sightseeing tips. The location is fantastic, close to popular attractions. The dining experience was subpar compared to local dishes.
