This is an excellent hotel where we would gladly stay again. The location is ideal, just minutes walking from Kyoto station, the hub of travel, restaurant dining and shopping. The hotel is run superbly, with exceedingly clean rooms and access to a broad range of toiletries easily accessed in the lobby. Breakfast was ideal: A buffet with high-quality options of both Japanese and western styles. The staff kept the area well-stocked and spotlessly clean. We travelled to 5 countries over 4 months and this was one of our best stays.

I cannot highly recommend this hotel enough. Staff are extremely kind and were able to answer any questions I had. The hotel is extremely clean and has excellent standards. There is more than enough amenities and it truly felt as if we were at a resort. We aren’t typically the type of people who pay for hotel breakfast but in this instance we did and felt that it was worth it. There was a lot of variety and they offer complimentary snacks during certain times of the day. Location is also excellent, about an 8 min walk to Kyoto station and a couple of minutes from the bus stop. We will definitely be back whenever we are returning to Kyoto.
