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❤️

The rooms are so big for Japan. The bed is super comfortable and the shower is amazing. I stayed in a number of rooms as we kept extending our stay, my favourite room was the one facing the street as it was quietest. The ones facing the river seem to have some low level noise from the Subway but it's not very bad my any means. I slept perfectly in all of the rooms.

The staff were super attentive, friendly and made our stay really special. The rooms were spacious enough, cozy and the amenities were great! They left birthday cards on our bed (both our birthdays were in close dates to our stay there) signed by the staff with personal messages by each one of them! That was a really special gesture that summarizes our experience. Highly recommended!

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).
