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.

Great location; easy access to the subway and walkable to many places as well. Well appointed rooms, spacious and comfortable beds. Loved the night pyjamas and the crockery available for use when we brought back food to eat in. Large bathroom and loved the distinction of the shower area from the tub! Very polite and respectful staff.
