Nice on the outside bad on the inside

Hotel focused to much on aesthetics and edginess with an architectural vibe but missed out on functionality. Very humid in the room when coming back from exploring Kyoto. Weird smell from the poor ventilation. No reception which made it weird since it’s a hotel and not an AirBnB and complicated to get help. The room was not clean, very dusty in some common places. We put ”please clean the room” sign on our door and they barely cleaned it, floor was not vacuumed, bathroom was hardly wiped. We cleaned it more ourselves even though we asked it to be cleaned. Not a lot of space to put your things for a longer stay, even though the room was spacious. Sad since the hotel looked promising.

I got an email asking me to pre check in and go to another web site to pay city tax. I chose to pay city tax on arrival. Then I got 20 more email that said I must pay or risk losing our paid reservation. It sure seemed suspicious so I just showed up and paid the 800 yes at the front desk. Yes, there was a tablet and also two live humans to assist. We walked to the train station—takes about 18-20 minutes, downhill. We took a taxi to get to the hotel initially, and had to use my phone GPS to direct the driver.

I made mistake on dates so i had 2 reservations but the hotel emailed me informing me that I didnt have to check out and check in again without me asking them. Highly recommend

I absolutely love this hotel! The rooms are super modern and stylish. They even have a real Japanese toilet, which is a nice touch. And the checkout/checking process is automated, and with a tablet in the room that handles everything else. It’s so convenient! I’ll definitely be back for more trips.

Amazing stay!

Great staff, super friendly. The nespresso machine available was a great touch. After not having coffee during most of the other hotels, this was a perfect change. The room is big and minders, the garden a great touch. It was all super clean.

Best surprise of the trip so far

The best surprise upon leaving the tiny hotel rooms in Tokyo! The room was spacious! Bathroom portion itself was the size of the hotel room in Tokyo. The staff super friendly, best hotel so far in our trip and I even tried to rebook it again for our return to Kyoto in 3 days but no vacancy.

Everything was superb — all but the cleanliness of the shower room. It was browned with scum (came off with a scrape of a fingernail) Just needs a really good scrub…
