Beautiful hotel. Super clean and beautify transitional Japanese decoration. Staff is nice and friendly. Only problem is that it’s not too close to San Jo and Si Jo which is city centre. But Kyoto is pretty small. One way taxi is about $15 AUD.

Beautiful and spacious rooms. Definitely made us feel like we were in Japan in the best way possible. They gave my 6 year old a welcome packet that was super thoughtful and got her all excited for the stay. I wished it was closer to main attractions of Kyoto. However the bus stop was pretty close making it easy to get to our other destinations.

Horrible service and amenities. Once we checked in no one was able to help us with our bags, our room was on the first floor in the corner facing a cement wall when we looked out the window. No daily house cleaning, no ice machine, laundry is not onsite and is only restricted to certain times of the day and have to arrange it with the front desk. The people in the front are not helpful. Only one restaurant that serves breakfast. Will not be returning again.
