Yes staff was very curtioidr.
The breakfast buffet was priivu for the availability the pancakes and other items that are expected to be warm were out on plated no shaders or warming plates
The room was nice and clean. The location was perfect and close to Kyoto Station which had access to every other line in Kyoto. Staff were pleasant to work with. The only issue I had was the fact I had to pay to use the fitness room each day I wanted to go in. The fitness room was very small/limited and the price was not cheap in the least bit. Other than this, everything was great!
Room was clean and fairly wide, staff was very fast and attentive, i got lounge coupons but didnt see any amenities that stood out. Shuttle was pretty useful but to walk around or to the station was inconveniently located.
The hotel was nice. Clean room and a nice size. Our breakfast was included.
There is a pool but wasn't allowed in it with our 7 month old, even though we had a swimming nappy with us. That was a shame

Staff was not helpful and we had to ask different staff at lobby just to get an umbrella. Room was fairly decent with exception of. Showers where grout had mould. Other than that, our stay was fairly pleasant.
