Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The air-conditioning unit had black mold on it. We requested for it to be cleaned and were assured by staff that it would be, but it was never cleaned. There were times we had left rubbish neatly next to the bin to be cleaned when the room was cleaned and the bin was full, and everytime the extra rubbish wasn't taken. We ended up disposing of our own rubbish instead. There was maintenance taking place on the day we were meant to check out which meant that no late checkout was available and that no electronics such as the toilets or the lifts would be working. This was incredibly inconvenient and led us to check out a day early and move to a different hotel. Overall, we were highly disappointed with the service and cleanliness at this hotel and would unfortunately not stay again.

Lovely hotel; conveniently located
Great location. Lovely hotel steps from Marutamachi subway station. Good hub for buses also. Comfortable walk to sights (Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace). Extremely clean. Quiet, spacious room. Wonderful breakfast. (The only alternative for breakfast in the area was MacDonalds; other restaurants opened much later.) Helpful staff. Our family of 3 adults (2 parents & 1 adult child) had a room with 2 twin beds + bed sofa. Unfortunately, the bed sofa was too hard to sleep on, so our daughter used 1 twin bed while we shared the other twin bed. We had an extra duvet on each bed for extra padding. It was doable.

Large comfortable rooms with nice lighting and amenities Loved it all EXCEPT that they never made our beds, which was off and annoying. They ask guests to leave a card on the bed if you don’t need to have your linens changed to conserve on water etc but they would tidy up (ish) and literally ignore just making the beds nice. The rest was great though And the breakfast was very good too

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and the breakfast in the morning is very very good. My only complaint is that there is no common area where you can sit. The lobby has one small seating area but I felt like the hotel needed something more where people can chill and use their laptop. I think there was a coworking space in the ground floor but it was closed off for everyone.
