I love this hotel. This was my second stay. Very Scandi look. Nice and quiet. Front desk staff are friendly and helpful as well. Right next to Kyoto Staion so perfect for tourists. Quick train trip to most tourist destinations and cans outside if needed. I highly recommend this hotel and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This is a 5 star corporate hotel without question. However, for a tourist it could be more user friendly. The restaurants are all super expensive and require reservations. There are no casual options. They need a cafe badly. The fitness area is impressive.

Noisy with disappointing “spa”. Clean otherwise

The overall stay was pleasant. Room- We stayed in a superior room which had ample space for our family of 3. However the room did not seem like it was sound proofed! Having just come from Tokyo, here we could hear what seemed like every car, motorbike passing. And we were on the 9th floor so I dread to think what lower floors could hear. The air conditioning was a bit frustrating as it’s an overhead vent so you get a blast in the face when you’re trying to sleep. This is a common hotel issue though. Spa- very very disappointing. For the grand facade of the hotel lobby, the “spa” is nothing more than a hot stone room and a naked “hot bath”. Hot stone- lay on a heated slab of stone on the floor. Hot bath, as it says but with strangers. I didn’t try the latter as you cannot use it if you have tattoos as you “must” be naked. Our next stay was at a Hilton which actually had L’Occitane spa. Save your money for other hotel spas. The gym- nice, clean, well equipped with new TechnoGym machines. A bit on the warm side for me but did what I needed.
