The hotel was beautiful and staff were very friendly and helpful. It was conveniently located close to Kyoto train station so there were a lot of dining/shopping options within walking distance. This was my first trip to Japan and wish I could have stayed longer. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and probably will return to the same hotel if I every get another chance to visit Kyoto. Thank you for a wonderful stay and great memories!

Great hotel but our room was facing the street on same side as hospital, so when trying to sleep we could hear the ambulance and lots of street noise. The hotel itself was excellent and we would stay there again if we are able to be on the 9th floor facing the temples/city instead of the noisy street on 7th floor.

Excellent value!

We stayed here for a family trip with a large group. Everyone was happy with the rooms, the triple room fit my family of 4 fairly well. They offered complimentary soft serve ice cream and drinks in the afternoon, and a complimentary happy hour in the evening. There was also a small complimentary art station that my kids loved. The laundry was accessible and the machines were clean. Overall we had a really great stay!
