Amazing hotel in the Japanese traditional style, where you are supposed to walk bare foot all over the place. Lovely onsens, both private and public, are avaliable without reservation, you can wear traditional and cosy japanese-style bathrobes and try free of charge evening's soup and icecreams. The staff is always ready to help and polite. We felt a taste of Japan there, even if we were just to stay in the hotel and not to see the cultural heritage of Kyoto! Highly recommended place!

Situated very close and directly connected to Kyoto Station via a covered walkaway, the hotel ensures unbeatable convenience for exploring Kyoto and nearest cities- Shinkansen, subway, busses, the station complex with shops, restaurants, diners, are just a step away. However, regardless of this location, the rooms are extremely quiet and very comfortable, very clean and spacious. There is a small Zen garden in the terrace, which was a lovely detail to add in to the comfort of the room. The staff is very polite and helpful and we had seamless check-in and check-out. The breakfast is buffet and it is worth paying for-very diverse, providing both Japanese delicacies and top-tier Western options. The hotel is a combination of luxury and very convenient urban location.

    We don’t often stay in ‘nice hotels’ so this was such a treat. The service is truly 5 stars. The hotel itself feels very luxurious through every touch. It was nice to have the swimming pool as being Summer and Aussies, we had missed being able to have a splash. Tattoos needed to be covered up, but it was open all day without reservations which was great compared to other hotels. Our view overlooked a Temple, the Kyoto Tower and some mountains. Room was spacious. Location good, close enough walk to Kyoto station. We didn’t dine onsite.

    This hotel was a treat to ourselves on our long trip and it certainly lived up to expectations. I didn’t give 5 stars for comfort as we chose the futon bed for the incredible suite with the wooden soaking tub, so not the most comfy bed but that was my fault!
