Located near various landmarks of Kyoto, this hotel not only is located near many tourist attractions, but considering its reasonable price, provides clean and spacious rooming as well. The lobby design of the hotel gives it a traditional and serene vibe to it as well. I would definitely stay here again.

Staff was super courteous. The breakfast buffet in the morning was delicious with large variety. Social /happy hour in the evening and afternoon tea/dessert was also included in our stay, and enjoyed really good Sake tasting every evening! Amenities were excellent from house slippers, PJs, bath salt, hair oil, face masks etc. more than you could ask for! And the hotel itself is beautifully decorated throughout. Highly recommend this stay!!

The staff were exceptional, and the amenities that were provided were generous. We also had our room cleaned daily, and it was great to come in after a long day. The highlight of the stay was the breakfast spread. It was amazing (if you are interested in trying different cuisines), and we looked forward to it before we got our day started. Unfortunately we did not take advantage of the afternoon and early evening offerings since we were out all day; however, we would love to stay here again and hopefully take advantage of those benefits.

Comfortable beds and pillows, amazing shower, wonderful amenities and super friendly staff. Very convenient location for traveling and shopping. Only downside was breakfast which I only visited twice as they didn’t have a lot of options for oatmeal/baked goods/ yogurt lovers. Both days the one option of plain yogurt was at the bottom of the dish, no baked goods except for mini plain croissants and I had to ask both times for staff to replenish both the granola and yogurt dishes. Not a deal braker, still amazing hotel and we will gladly visit again!
