Its a vibe in Kyoto and maybe more modern then the rest but we loved coming back in the evening after long days sightseeing! they have few really nice restaurants and roof top bar! Also a fantastic bar located in the building were the shops are: dig the line: bottle and bar! I am pretty sure we got both our rooms upgraded and we had interconnecting rooms that at least I found rare find in Japan but very nice with kids! Lobby staff were so helpful and attentive! only thing I can fault is the staff at the restaurant seemed sometimes a little lost with organizing so dishes and glasses kind of built up around us on empty tables and that we found is very rare in Japan but I think thats managment in restaurants and not hotel! so overall! great hotel! good comfortable rooms and a total vibe! We found really nice caffès and shops around the hotel❤️

Great location, right next to Gion, shopping and a few bus stops away from the station. The design was both cool and functional. Excellent breakfast and a range of other dining facilities, as well as a food market. Very helpful staff - went out of their way to get us tickets to the Miyaki Odori. Overall highly recommended.

The location is just a few steps from the airport limousine bus station and Kyoto Station/JR Rail entrance. There are plenty of restaurants around. The room is spacious for 5 pax and has a connecting door to another apartment which we also rented as were a group of 10. This allowed us to be together and yet have privacy. The staff are very friendly. The hotel also offers a luggage forwarding service which was very convenient.

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.

The best hotel I stayed in while in Japan. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The detailed design and finishes of the room were outstanding. The bathroom colour for instance was an unexpected yet VERY classy. The staff was friendly and super helpful in helping me get around. I loved the reception area. Also well appointed with a beautiful stream view. The apéritivo till 10 PM was an excellent touch (sake collection, snacks, tea and coffee).
