Higashiyama Shikikaboku Was one of the best parts of my vacation. It offered beauty and relaxation after exploring Kyoto all day, which is exactly what I needed. The hotel room had everything we needed to make ourselves feel at home. The staff were the highlight of the stay, they are amazing people. They made sure we were well taken care of and were just genuinely warm and friendly. They were very very helpful and professional. Best hotel experience I’ve had so far! My husband and I enjoyed their healthy breakfast menu as well as the architecture and interior design. We are excited and cannot wait for our next stay at this hotel!

**Hotel Review: Kyoto Excellence** My stay at this Kyoto hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. Located in an excellent spot, it offers convenient access to Kyoto's top attractions while maintaining a peaceful ambiance. The hotel's cleanliness was impeccable, setting a new standard even among the five-star hotels I've visited in renowned cities worldwide. What truly stood out was the service. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality were unparalleled, making me feel valued and well-cared for at every turn. The hot spring experience was a highlight of my stay. It was out of this world and incredibly relaxing, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring Kyoto. The serene environment and soothing waters were rejuvenating. Breakfast at the hotel was a delightful experience, featuring Kyoto specialties that were both delicious and beautifully presented. Each morning was a culinary journey, offering a taste of the local culture. Overall, this hotel exceeded all my expectations. Their exceptional service, outstanding amenities, and prime location make it a perfect choice for anyone visiting Kyoto. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking an unforgettable stay.

お世話になりました!

初めての滞在でした。  ・ゆったりチェックイン。  ・キッチンの有るお部屋で、夕食を温めたり出来ました。食器等も充実しており非常に便利。   ・露天風呂が最上階に有りますが、心地良い造りです。真冬はもう少し湯温が高いといいかも。  ・朝食。いつも同じかは分かりませんが、ポークのパテが美味しい!野菜やドレッシングも秀逸。  滞在中ハプニング連発⁈でしたが、その都度副支配人さまの対応が素晴らしかった。  車で行かれる方は、周辺駐車場の休日駐車料金にある程度覚悟を!(笑
