Extraordinarily courteous and diligent staff made the experience flawless. The facilities themselves were superb, and the on-property restaurant (which I understand makes its own cheese) was surprisingly good. It’s centrally located, so you’re never too far from anything. It’s a wonderful hotel, and would absolutely recommend it for whenever anyone visits Kyoto.

This hotel is in an amazing location and the staff provides excellent service. It’s close to North-South metro lines and the Nishiki Market. Lots to see and do within walking distance. Also pretty easy to take a train to Uji from here. Make sure to reserve a time for the private spa, unforgettable experience.

Super relaxing and rejuvenating especially after exploring Kyoto, you need an environment that will help you recover. All the staff are very nice, helpful and accommodating. The location is also perfect as it is accessible to a lot of dining options and a shopping complex. It is also close to train stations. Will definitely stay here again when we come back to Kyoto.

Feels Like a Luxury Dungeon – Not in a Good Way

Rooms have no windows—just glass panes that emit light, giving the illusion of daylight without any actual view. The onsen is in the basement, also windowless, with no open-air section or outside atmosphere. It was always empty, likely because the hotel seems to cater more to non-Japanese guests who may not use the facility. Breakfast was decent, with good quality, but surprisingly limited in Asian options—only udon was offered. For Japan, the room prices felt high, especially given the lack of natural light or real luxury amenities. If you're after a hotel experience that feels like a sleek, upscale dungeon, this might be your thing. Otherwise, you’ll probably want to look elsewhere.

We stayed for 2 nights: our rooms are very quiet, the AC in the rooms are also very quiet. It seems the Japanese hotels are able to manage their air vents much better than most American hotels. The showers are very very good, bed sheets and pillows are comfortable. WiFi is fast. There's 1 thing I would like the hotel to improve: the breakfast leaves a lot to be desired: they obviously try to cater to the white people, but bakeries taste all stale, even the bread on their made to order avocado toast tastes like Safeway bread that expired a week ago. One waiter speaks English, but was curt, rude, unhelpful. Coffee was similar to pot coffee in a 2 star American hotel.
