Everything was exceptional! Facilities and rooms were new, featuring modern design and high quality materials. The bed was comfortable and cleaning service exceptional. The restaurant and bar area is cosy and perfect for a meal/drink after sightseeing! Staff did a great job, always attending to requests with kindness and professionalism! The hotel is located near Kyoto station (access to Shinkansen rapid service and Osaka airport via Haruka Express JR train). It is also located within a comfortable walking distance to Kyoto downtown area and Gion.

loved this hotel, really nice spacious clean rooms, lots of thoughtful touches like cookies in the rooms, phone cables, face wash, a lounge that has free soft drinks and coffee during the day and alcohol at night if you want a wine or beer before bed. Nice quiet street but walkable to lots of landmarks. Clint laundry with dryer. Honestly can not recommend this hotel any higher, it was absolutely lovely.

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).
