Amazing property with a super spacious room! The staff were so kind and accommodated our late check-in. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. We loved our bathroom that included a sauna and an oxidized bathtub. Super close to all the main sites and metros, we walked more than anything else. 10/10 would stay here again!

For the price, I’d rather pay less and stay further away. It was way too crowded at the hotel and surrounding areas. There is also zero amenities besides the laundry room which was a nightmare of its own. For a hotel of this size, there were two washers and one dryer. Guests were pulling other guests clothes out….

Good stay except breakfasts buffet

Our room was very clean and a lot of spaces. Also, loved the bath room and tab with bubbles. The design of our room was nice! Staff were very friendly and fluent in English. The only negative point was their breakfast. The buffet had very few selections, not much Japanese food at all. There was no curry, even though their advertisement says they have. No chef was present to grill fishes or Kyoto’s traditional dishes. They could improve their break buffet, as I felt it was like **** Inn’s cheap breakfast fast food (e.g. toast, pancake, cereal, yogurt etc.)

Great stay

Great stay. Comfortable beds, clean space, and the kitchenette is a nice touch. Taxi drivers do struggle to find the small street, though, so be prepared to show them a map of the navigation, if you’re not using an app taxi service. Nice Sri Lankan food in the cafe, too.

We loved staying at this hotel. It is immaculate, beautifully designed, the staff are so helpful, and you are close to so many great sightseeing and shopping areas. The rooms are so comfortable and modern. Our room had a private sauna and oxygen bath, it was like having your own little private spa. It was quiet at night and we slept well. Can’t recommend it enough.
