6 stars out of 5. The room was great. The staff was nice. Breakfast every morning was super fresh and delicious with many options. 24/7 free coffee machine that can make latte and mocha and matcha and hot chocolate. Free cup of sake every night. Heated toilet seats and a fancy bidet. Right in the middle of the busy Kyoto city life but out of the way and quiet on the inside. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at and for one tent the price I would expect.

When I asked for a bottle of water at the front desk, I got 3 different answers. One evening shift staff just asked the room number and gave me one bottle. One morning shift staff told me that one bottle per room per day and gave me one. On 1/11 morning, the lady at the front desk told me that no bottle water was available and I just had to drink tap water, which shocked me. The staff should have better training for consistency. Other than this unpleasant experience, my stay was decent. the breakfast buffet was delicious with multiple choices. On 1/9 night, my check-in was smooth, the young man who checked me in was very courteous and willing to help. The room was neat and quiet.

Everything was fantastic. Centrally located. Loved it. I’m con was that the elevators were a bit slow due to only two elevators for 9 floors.
