    "I am very satisfied ♡"”

    I decided to stay here after reading reviews that said the breakfast was delicious. I saw a review that said "I should have eaten less dinner the night before" so I followed that advice and had a light dinner the night before (laughs). The breakfast was a buffet with a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, and I immediately felt excited about what to eat. It's like enjoying with your eyes first. My recommendations are tempura, tenmusu, shumai, warabi mochi with green tea, and bread. Even the machine that reheated the bread was fun to use. The miso soup was also very satisfying. Good points: - There is a parking lot with no height restrictions. - It's within walking distance to Kiyomizu Temple and Pontocho. - The lounge has a special atmosphere and is relaxing. - The breakfast is just delicious. - The room has a simple design and is calming. - The aroma and soap in the lobby smell good. There were no disappointing points, but if I had to say something, the bathwater in the public bath was a bit too hot. Adults might be surprised at first, but it feels good once you get used to it. However, it was too hot for my 4-year-old and they couldn't stay in for long (laughs).

    Luxury, relaxation, wonderful food ”

    This is an expensive hotel, no doubt, but if comfort, quiet - except for dining room in the morning, service, and elegance, this could be your hotel. Easy ten minute walks to bus or subway, with local eats on the way, make getting around and eating quite easy. The rooms are very spacious, the hot baths are are serene and hot (I believe around 104F), the concierges are excellent, and the breakfast buffet - very nicely laid out - has a host of Japanese dishes. If a cereal, fruit, and yogurt fan, they have those, too. But I can get those at home so I stuck to the Japanese delicacies. Checking in and out was a breeze. A free shuttle to the main bus terminal was very nice.

    Highly recommend ”

    Good location, room is clean, facilities here are also better than other hotels I lived in Japan. Staffs here speak good English, better than other people I meet, no language barrier at all. Highly recommend. The bad part is some areas of the hotel are under maintenance but I wasn’t hear much noise.

    Lovely staff”

    From the time we entered the hotel, the staff made us feel comfortable and taken care of. Their warmth and attentiveness was evident and very much appreciated after a long day of traveling. Secondly, the hotel itself was uniquely designed and blended well with the traditional neighborhood while having a modern but warm feel on the inside. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto. It is a special establishment.

    Beautiful modern hotel ”

    It's a lovely high end hotel, wonderful staff, clean/plush, Western-feeling. No complaints except a free shuttle to Kyoto Station was promised but it was running 20 min then another 25 minutes late, we had to take a cab. We didn't use the spa or bath. I'm mixed on the location. On the one hand it's in Gion, which everyone needs to visit and we were excited about. But Gion is nuts with tourists and we weren't even there peak season. On a Friday night, it was hard to get dinner anywhere nearby without a reservation. If you stay here and sightsee nearby, start EARLY like 6:30-7 AM. Beat the crowds.
