Excellent Staff

The staff here was amazing - everyone was super helpful. I want to specifically thank Joseph, at the front desk, for getting us a restaurant reservation (neither of us speak Japanese, and this restaurant would have been impossible for us without Joseph's help!). The room was smaller than expected based on the photography, but it was fine. Overall, the breakfast and the comfort-level of the room made this hotel seem expensive compared to others we stayed in while in Japan, but it may just be that Kyoto is expensive. It's possible that the onsen here is part of what you're paying for, and we just weren't interested in that for this part of our trip. Location is excellent.

The property is ok for what you pay, but be aware that a room on the front of the building facing the main road gets a lot of traffic noise, particularly at night. There is also an issue with the property only having two elevators (and one of those was not working on one of the days of our stay). The wait time was long and the lift very crowded as it stops at each floor. On a couple of occasions it was easier to take the stairs. Breakfast was ok, but not 4 star level. We had a meal from the restaurant as a take away in our room one night when we returned later and it was completely cold. Staff were great, no issues there.
