This was such a pleasant surprise. So close to the train station and it felt like being at a resort. We are invited to enjoy the public areas with our special Japanese wear that is given to the guests in our rooms. The staff is amazing, the housekeeping workers are like machines, fully focused, and they work very fast and efficient, with such deep cleaning. They are amazing. The breakfast was nice but the workers there was also so amazing. The only bad thing was there was not enough washers and dryers. And it takes 2 hours to wash a load and the clothes are still very wet after 2 hours. But I will definitely be back at this hotel only when visiting Kyoto. 5 stars definitely. And I am an honest star giver.

Absolutely beautiful place. 2 minute walk to trains. Not very close to restaurants but easy to catch an uber or go for a walk. You can hire a car right across the road. Coming from Australia, I found Kyoto extremely safe and so clean. Lots to see around the area. The rooms were very clean, staff were lovely. I would stay there again.

The hotel was great. Rooms were clean and functional. Small, but that’s normal for Japan. Staff was excellent and helpful. Location was great. Close to the train station and easy to get around and access to food and shopping. The only gripe I had was even though the breakfast buffet states they close at 10am, they actually stop serving and taking away food at 9:30. This was not told to me when we paid for the buffet at 9:15. If we had known we only had 15 min to get food and eat, we would have opted for an alternative breakfast.

The front desk staff could be more patient with guests, especially since many of us speak different languages. Two front desk ladies seemed quite impatient when she had trouble understanding English, and her tone made the interaction very uncomfortable.
