Beautiful and spacious rooms. Definitely made us feel like we were in Japan in the best way possible. They gave my 6 year old a welcome packet that was super thoughtful and got her all excited for the stay. I wished it was closer to main attractions of Kyoto. However the bus stop was pretty close making it easy to get to our other destinations.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Horrible service and amenities. Once we checked in no one was able to help us with our bags, our room was on the first floor in the corner facing a cement wall when we looked out the window. No daily house cleaning, no ice machine, laundry is not onsite and is only restricted to certain times of the day and have to arrange it with the front desk. The people in the front are not helpful. Only one restaurant that serves breakfast. Will not be returning again.

Nice hotel

The hotel is lovely and in a convenient place. Our room had very little natural light but it was fine for 3 nights. Cleaning of the rooms consists of making the bed and emptying the bins which is a bit of a shame. More needs to be done in the daily clean in my opinion. Breakfast was very expensive for what it was - there was very little choice and the restaurant can be ‘full’ when you arrive meaning you need to wait. The restaurant should be big enough to cater for the hotel. All in all a good experience.

It was close to public transportation. The only bad point I would mention is that they had only 2 personas during breakfast and waiting to get a table was too long.
