Wonderful attention to details in the room. Spacious luxury in our corner room overlooking the river. Two layers of double-pane glass dampen the road noise to an acceptable level for us and was outweighed by the convenience of the location, so much within walking distance. Staff were eagerly helpful. Highly recommend overall.

The room was very large and well equipped with automation for drapes and lighting. It also had a very functional bath with great amenities including a micro bubble bath and large shower. We loved the modern but classic look of the hotel common areas and room. The staff was very attentive and made us feel very welcome. The location is excellent with the Gion historical district nearby and several train / subway stations available. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to stay here the next time we visit Kyoto.

Before booking this hotel I researched its ratings. I was checking it out based on convenience, but convenience does not override the ability of getting a good nights sleep. I was happy to see it it had a 9.8 rating. Now having stayed there, I am shocked it didn't get a 10 rating from everyone. This is the most wonderful place I have ever stayed in (and I have stayed in some $500/night places). My advise to you is to stop scrolling and just BOOK THIS PLACE. It is perfect. It will have whatever you need or want. I know this to be true because we arrived with nothing but the shirts on our back--no toothbrush, pajamas, etc. The room had it all, besides being downright beautiful and ultra-modern. They spoke perfect english. Their kindness was overwhelming. Once again, you can stop scrolling and JUST STAY HERE.

The property is conveniently located in walking tourist areas (Gion district, shopping areas, etc), Seven Eleven store is a few steps away. Breakfast is served in the room either Japanese breakfast style or Western breakfast style. I liked Japanese breakfast style. Staff speaks English, professional, friendly, and helpful. There are complimentary personal hygiene items (hairbrush, razor, toothpaste, toothbrushes, face masks, etc). I like the shower, the location of the property, many restaurants/shops in walking distance

So glad we booked this hotel. Location was perfect. Not far from train and bus stations and easy to take cab. Plenty of food choice and great options nearby. The hotel offers daily cleaning as well, which is rare for Japan. Even our Japanese friends came to join us and stayed at the same hotel were impressed. Service was excellent and no issue in communication. We had our luggage sent via agent and it reached before us. The hotel staff nicely put it before we arrived and gave us an early check in. Highly recommended the hotel.
