Kyoto stay
In Kyoto for 5 days. Hotel was in a good location - a very short walk to Nishiki Market and walkable to Gion. Breakfast was very good-both east and west foods. Very modern decor although we felt that the hallways and rooms were to dark - our room could have used an extra lamp or two. Room also was a tad on the small side for 2 adults.

Great Hotel
We had 4 rooms total and all were a different layout. Mine was the only one with a view (nice view of the main street) but the other 3 rooms had windows that were frosted because they were facing other buildings. My layout was perfect, very wide open, others were a little less open though all were the same size with the same amenities. I loved the shower room--the entire room was basically a shower with a chair to sit on under the showerhead and it also had a tub if you wanted to soak. This made it very ADA friendly for my parents who have mobility issues. Bed was easily the most comfortable of all the hotels I stayed at in Japan. The hallways are very dark and so it's an interesting atmosphere that I liked but some might not like. Location was great, right on the main road in central Kyoto with tons of places to go. Nishiki Market is only a 2 minute walk away. I only interacted with the staff for check-in/out but they were very polite and hospitable. I think I did have a check in with the automated check in system--if I remember right it couldn't find my reservation by last name but found it by first, which was odd but ended up not being a big deal. Would definitely stay here again.
