This hotel was a beautiful sanctuary in Kyoto. The foyer and lounge were spacious and luxurious, and the generous buffet breakfast and complimentary drinks and snacks in the lounge were a highlight. Our room was smaller than we expected, but everything was impeccably clean, modern and well planned. Highly recommend.

Nice sized and comfortable rooms with a stylish reception area, daily “activities” and a “premium lounge” available to all guests with snacks and, after 17:00, alcoholic drinks. Good area of Kyoto with easy access to transport and the market. Only minor weakness is the lack of a hotel bar or anywhere really to sit and have a coffee or drink after 21:00 hours following a day of “temple hopping”.

Nice hotel, a lot of money went to the lobby. So the rooms were small we stayed in a 3 person room and you could not open 3 suitcase simultaneously. So if you’re traveling with family take that into consideration!
