The hotel was average, there was some good but also some concerning items that made the stay not great. It was close to the station which was my top priority. The rooms were good, the beds themselves were average size for Japan, the water pressure was great, the bathroom design was good and the rooms were quiet. The bedding material was bad. The pillows were flat and didn't offer enough support and the comforter provided was a duvet that constantly slipped out of it's cover. Honestly the worst bedding in any hotel I have stayed at. The wi-fi would only connect for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then would disconnect and not be able to reconnect for over 15 minutes. The staff were average. They seemed friendly and professional, but we're always preoccupied. The hours for the in hotel restaurants and bar were not great. The service at the bar was below average and disappointing. The price was very fair for the service received, however I would probably not stay there again unless the bedding and wifi were corrected.

The room was nice and clean. The location was perfect and close to Kyoto Station which had access to every other line in Kyoto. Staff were pleasant to work with. The only issue I had was the fact I had to pay to use the fitness room each day I wanted to go in. The fitness room was very small/limited and the price was not cheap in the least bit. Other than this, everything was great!

The hotel was nice. Clean room and a nice size. Our breakfast was included. There is a pool but wasn't allowed in it with our 7 month old, even though we had a swimming nappy with us. That was a shame

Staff was not helpful and we had to ask different staff at lobby just to get an umbrella. Room was fairly decent with exception of. Showers where grout had mould. Other than that, our stay was fairly pleasant.

The room was very small, there was no laundry facility. I paid for City view and I was NOT given what I paid for. The blanket were NOT clean.
