The room was great and we were well looked after. The staff at the hotel were so informative and very happy to please. The lounge was exceptionally wonderful!
Everything about this place has been amazing!!! From the staff being friendly and welcoming! To the rooms being clean and comfortable!!! The amenities were great as well!! Just everything about this place was top notch! The location of this place was super convenient! I would most certainly recommend this hotel! I’m definitely booking this same hotel when I come back to Kyoto!
Room, lounge, breakfast and service. Every single one of the was perfect. Very clean and accommodating staff. Definitely we will come back to staty again.
Great location. Close enough to tourist attractions but far enough away to have some quiet after visiting high traffic areas. Laundry in the building was a bonus too.
