First and most, the quality of attentiveness received from the staff is truly special. At check in you don’t have to be standing at front desk, you can sit down relaxing while the staff is helping you check in process. All staff members have most beautiful manners ( just way they bow is elegant and in perfection ). They also help you above and beyond. Any request such as getting more tea bags or opening my safe ( I locked by accident) was taken care of such speedy and very pleasant manner. Concierge helped me tremendously for an exceptional dinner reservation. ( family and friends of 7) at Karoku ( great yakiniku and classic Japanese style). The lobby smells always nice and beautiful flower arrangement. The room is spacious and very tastefully decorated. The bed is comfortable. It was a pleasure going to large baths for gusts ( called Spa ). The location Gion is great. You can go many places just walking. Very romantic walking down Gion street. The bar is cozy. The bartender was very attentive and I enjoyed chatting with him since I was alone from my family at that time.

The hotel has an amazing location close to everything. Rooms are comfortable. The spa was clean and a nice option after days of walking. The common areas (bar, restaurant) are crowded because they are small relative to the number of guests. The lobby area is nice but during check in times it is extremely busy as well.

Apparently there was a light at the door of our room that needed to be illuminated to get room cleaning. It was not mentioned to us and we had not room cleaning, water etc. for our entire stay. Also the hotel had a shuttle to the train station which was not mentioned to us. The property was lovely but communication needs to be much, much better.

Breakfast outstanding, Clean room, Helpful staff

Back felt mattress by second day. As solo traveler I would have preferred desk or table and appropriate chair instead of low, far back leaning chairs with coffee table. Though I saw luggage stands throughout the hotel, there was none in my room. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast buffet was outstanding.
