Staff was very helpful. The lobby and public areas are very clean. I was disappointed when I got a notice saying I would be charged 3000yen a night if we continued to use the the duvet for the sofa bed. The beds are very small for an adult and child. We opted for eco-cleaning, but the beds were only made once.

Lovely hotel in a great location - a little less crazy than central hotels. Staff (particularly the restaurant greeters) were simply lovely! Friendly, courteous and very efficient. Breakfast was excellent quality and great variety, well worth including in your stay. Social hour could get a little busy (holiday weekend?) but the food and drinks on offer were excellent. VERY happy with our Kyoto hotel choice!

This hotel was a beautiful sanctuary in Kyoto. The foyer and lounge were spacious and luxurious, and the generous buffet breakfast and complimentary drinks and snacks in the lounge were a highlight. Our room was smaller than we expected, but everything was impeccably clean, modern and well planned. Highly recommend.
