Extremely clean, spacious room, friendly staff. Very accommodating to English speaking guests. The bath/sauna in the basement were excellent, one of the nicest saunas I’ve been in! It And the women’s locker room had Dyson dryers, which was a plus. We had a deluxe room with large bath that I can’t recommend enough, it felt like having a private onsen. Location is walkable to many eateries, shopping and about a ten minute walk to subway line.i booked the hotel before it opened, which felt like a bit of a gamble but one that very much so paid off! Would be happy to stay here again when in Kyoto l.

Beautiful and newly refurbished property. The rooms are big and it’s very welled located with Kawaramachi street approx. 10 min walk. The spa facilities are fantastic and the gym is well equipped. Unfortunately the service is not quite there yet. I had asked the hotel to contact me regarding a tea ceremony and I was informed that they had no way to contact an international phone number. In the end I was not concerned about the ceremony but more about how they would contact me if there was an emergency as I’ve never come across this issue before. I asked if they were equipped to contact me via WhatsApp and the response was ‘no’. Overall, nice place to stay.

The best hotel we started in on our trip to Japan. The atmosphere is contemporary yet local. Service was top of the line, fast, and consistently polite. We were given water while waiting on our Uber to leave. Also, the tv menu made ordering extra supplies to the room easy. Would be a first choice to come back without question.

Nous avons pu profiter de super bains chauds collectifs; très appréciables après une journée de visite. L’hôtel est très bien placé (à 5/10 min de plusieurs arrêts de métro.
