We are an American couple of two — Our room was very, very spacious and had all of the amenities we typically get in the USA, even the outlets. Everything was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. We got some free drink vouchers, free coffee/tea in the lobby, and one free water bottle each day, per person. We had an incident where an expensive necklace went down the sink drain. The staff was extremely helpful and called a plumber for us to get it out for free! We had to leave kyoto the next day so we were worried we wouldn’t get it in time. The staff worked out many different options and they were very accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel.

Property is located in a central area, filled with shops and food, really easy to get around with public transport close by. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful, rooms have excellent quality amenities, just a little bit small which is understandable. Really enjoyed the stay there and would highly recommend!

This place was located in a great spot. While some items were older, the bathroom was up to date. It was the perfect blend of old and new. Beds were comfortable and loved the window shades.

Beautiful hotel and rooms. Loved the style/decor and stained glass in the rooms. The service was excellent, the front staff were so kind. The room was small but comfortable and the shower & bath were wonderful! Very deep soaker tub. Great location close to everything

Great hotel in very convenient area of Kyoto, however the beds and 1 pillow provided are very hard, so not very comfortable sleep. A pillowtop on the beds and second softer pillow would be nice. The room and bathroom itself are nice though.
