This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at. The onsen with the outdoor wind was the best experience. The amenities were very high quality. The hotel staff were amazing and very helpful.

The building was very nice and the onsen was wonderful. However, the room was a little small (standard double room with queen bed) and felt claustrophobic. You must use the air purifier to get clean air in since the windows don't open. And the trays at breakfast have food stains - hotel should wipe each tray down for cleanliness so guests do not see light stains from other guests.

The women’s onsen and laundry areas were accessible with a women’s only keycard. Breakfast had a great variety of foods to choose from the east to western cuisine. We chose 2 beds in our room: impressed by the fact that the shower and bathtub were separate from the toilet so one could fully enjoy a good soak in the tub if you didn’t want the public onsen. It was a spacious room by local standard.

Lovely hotel, spacious room, convenient location.

Positive: A very lovely hotel, stylish lobby, and the room was more spacious than many are in Japan so you feel less cramped. Plenty of places to put things, desk, chair, bench seat, shelving, hanging space, fridge. Very clean. The toilet, the handbasin, and the shower were all separated areas of our room which is more convenient for 2 people using the facilities. Shower also has a bath beside it. Decor is modern but has traditional Japanese touches. So close to Kyoto train station with all its shops and restaurants. Very friendly hotel staff. Check in and check out were seamless. Free laundry facilities were very appreciated. They have an onsen but we didn't use it. Bed comfortable. Negative: Although the room is lovely and private, the room design means there is barely any natural light. One narrow window looks into a little stone garden but then just the backs of nearby buildings. The lack of natural light in the room can feel a little gloomy (we are used to the brightness of Queensland) and our hotel in Tokyo had had a big window with views so we'd gotten used to having that. The darker room also meant we slept later. :) My husband found the pillows very uncomfortable. They may have been buckwheat pillows or similar? Random: One night of our stay there was a fire alarm at about midnight and we all had to evacuate, but it turned out to be a false alarm. Obviously not a regular event (you would hope) but was quite jarring at the time.
