Kenji-san provided exceptional service from start to finish. He greeted us and offered to store our bags as we arrived before the check-in time. When we returned he recognised us and the process to get our room was easy. We were served by Kenji-san again on our check-out and asked about our stay. Absolutely impeccable. I enjoyed the fitness room and having the water replenished every day. The use of IPad to control temperature, curtains, lighting and to call for hotel services was unique. Thank you to the staff member who had to come to my room at 11pm to give me hard pillows. Will definitely come back again!

Amazing location steps from the Kyoto train station. In the station is a food court with excellent dining options, and it is a short Uber or 20 minute walk up to the Nishiki market region for shopping (both upscale and more traditional). The amenities were excellent and the breakfast was very good. Staff service was amazing. We would not hesitate to stay here on every trip to Kyoto!
