Rooms were clean. Breakfast was excellent. We have 2 choices. The buffet at Le Temp or the japanese restaurant on M3. My son tried the japanese style BF set and said its delicious. If we are going back in Kyoto. I will choose the same hotel.

Great Location and Nice Rooms

The buffet had a large variety and leaned heavier on the Japanese food items. The staff was accommodating and the hotel had several entrances and exits depending on where you wanted to explore in Kyoto. The cons would be that it was always very crowded (lobby, breakfast are etc) and pricey for the worn and dated decor.

Great stay! Very modern, clean, plenty of in-room amenities, and really helpful staff. The location was also unbeatable, right inside Kyoto station. The executive lounge is one of the best we’ve stayed at, they offer cocktails (on top of self serve options) and all the food, coffee/matcha, other drinks, and desserts were very good. The breakfast buffet at Le Temps had great western and Japanese offering. The only con is they have really small pillows
