Loved this hotel, great location and lovely interior and comfortable beds. Free drink at the bar was an added bonus whilst you relaxed after a long days sightseeing
Best hotel I’ve stayed in my trip to Japan so far. The rooms remind me of a rykoen but more modern upscale hotel vibes. The amenities were amazing, it included unlimited water, beer, sake and wine. The room and view from our room was breathtaking. Definitely stay here if you’re in Kyoto
The hotel provides some of the more traditional experience. The room was in a traditional Japanese style. The hotel is conveniently located close to train station. We also tried the restaurant and it was amazing,wague steak was spot on. Staff could not be more accommodating and kind.
free bar 24/7. the staff was incredible. professional and super nice. the rooms were amazing. pillows were a little tough for me but my husband enjoyed them so there’s that.
Perfect blend of modern hotels with tradional Japanese housing. Very well maintained, house keeping was impecable, staff really helpful and nice.
The only thing I missed was a middle range restaurant and a bar for late night drinks.
Excellent hotel with really helpful staff - check in was great and the staff took the time to provide recommendations on sightseeing and provide maps, etc. Rooms were really spacious!
The hotel is very nice with big and spacious rooms (relative to Japan 😅).
The staff are great and very helpful.
There is a lack of gym which is lacking but not so terrible. Also the location is close to Kyoto Station but a bit far from Nishiki.
Very convenient location a 10min walk from train station. Traditional Japanese style rooms with modern amenities, clean, excellent staff. Highly recommend it.
The room was Spacious for 5 and affordable. Great location, amenities and breakfast buffet. Wonderful staff was very accommodating and helpful. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this accommodation.
Great hotel with a wonderful blend of a modern and classic Japanese vibe. Beautiful rooms. Great facilities. Great location. Our second time and it didn’t disappoint.
