"Excellent service, front desk staff were very helpful especially with them helping us call train station to retrieve a bag we left at the station location. We would definitely stay here again, hotel location was convenient and close to what we wanted to visit."

"A peaceful oasis on top of the Kyoto trains station and 5 story mall. "

"Property was extremely tidy and situated in a quiet offshoot between main shopping street and Pontocho alley. Great access to bus and train plus Gion District. Room was extremely spacious, good amenities and friendly staff. Highly recommended."

"This is a fabulous hotel to stay at. My family and I loved the experience. Staff met us before the door and used a cart to bring our luggage inside. We were met immediately and offered comfortable seats and asked for our passports. They found our reservation and checked us in. They noticed that one of our children would be celebrating his birthday during our stay and brought him gifts of chopsticks. The service was stellar and continued at this high level throughout our stay and beyond (they shipped items we left to our next stop on our tour). The rooms are comfortable, very clean, and roomy. The mattresses and pillows are very comfortable. We found origami cranes on our bed, which was a lovely touch. Breakfast exceeded our expectations.There was a first course of breads with a bento box. We ordered the American breakfast but it came with very Japanese touches: salad with local greens, a salmon sushi, and several others. The main course was equally wonderful. The hotel property abuts a shrine and they created a garden space that was as nice as the shrine. We were with walking distance to the Philosophers Path. We used the buses to get to the city center. Stops for the various lines were a few steps from the hotel and just around the corner. We also walked there and back on our first evening. The hotel staff were gracious and efficient in getting us a taxi reservation to the main train station and communicated our destination to our driver."
