Excellent hotel with excellent services all around! In addition of the super central location, this is one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in Kyoto. The daily happy hour is second to none, including happy hour sake and dessert. Lastly, the breakfast buffet is also amazing with excellent selection of food.
