Kyoto: fantastic city, very nice hotel.

The stay at the hotel was great, Kyoto is wonderful. The hotel's location is fantastic, directly across form the airport bus depot. Th breakfast buffet is well stocked and offers some nice local options. The only problem was that we had three people, and the double room was turned into a triple by putting an extra bed in. We cold not easily move in the room. Staff was friendly and nice. I would stay here again if we had one or two people.

It’s a basic hotel with a nearby metro station, which makes it very convenient for visiting Japan. The breakfast is very good, with local food. I loved the public bath, very spacious and equipped with all the comforts. The only thing they should improve is allowing early check-in, even if it comes with a fee, like other hotels do, so guests can explore the city with peace of mind.

Absolutely wonderful stay – exceeded all expectati

From the moment we arrived until check-out, everything about our stay at this hotel was exceptional. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional – always ready to assist with a smile. The room was spotless, spacious (considering Japan standard) with every comfort thoughtfully provided. The location is perfect – close to everything we needed, yet quiet and peaceful at night. We also loved the breakfast: fresh, delicious, and with a great variety to suit all tastes. The hotel’s amenities were top-notch, and every detail showed a high level of care and quality. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended, and we will definitely return! Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special.

Hotel is clean. Close to station. Rooms and bathrooms are very small. Other people might prefer a hard bed. I have a bad back and woke up with a terrible back pain from the bed being so hard. The pillows are also very hard. Check-in and out is all electronic and feels impersonal, although staff is there to assist with any questions and most of them speak some basic English that allows some sort of communication.
