    “Pleasant Stay with Great Location and Comfort”

    I had a very satisfactory experience at this hotel. The property is clean and nicely maintained, which immediately gave a welcoming impression. The room was spacious, providing plenty of comfort and convenience during my stay. The location is excellent, just one block away from Kyoto Station and very close to the subway, making it easy to get around the city. The breakfast was great, offering a good variety and quality to start the day right. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. I also appreciated that the hotel is newly renovated, which adds a fresh and modern feel to the overall atmosphere. Overall, this hotel offers a pleasant and comfortable stay with great value for its location and amenities. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

    “Don’t hesitate to book!”

    One of the biggest issues with hotels in japanese cities is cramped quarters. Our queen size room (with a king size bed?) had plenty of space, natural light, and a very comfortable bed. Definitely enough room to lay out a suitcase after shopping. The staff are all very kind and accommodating and speak great English. They even helped us transfer our luggage to the next hotel. Breakfast at the hotel is organized, efficient, and delicious, there’s a good mix of western and japanese breakfast options and the desserts are surprisingly solid (the chocolate muffins are the best). The hotel is one stop away from Kyoto station so it’s decently convenient (need to transfer) if you’re taking the Shinkansen after. Overall great stay, didn’t want to leave, many thanks to the great staff.

    “Exceptional”

    My luggage did not arrive at Kansai Airport, but the airport staff arranged for it to be delivered to the hotel the next day. I was impressed that the hotel staff were already aware of the situation even before I mentioned it during check-in. They were very proactive and attentive. The room was clean and cosy, with a comfortable bed. I appreciated that both soft and firm pillows were provided, which made for a good night’s rest. My son especially enjoyed the onsen, which is available to all hotel guests. It was a wonderful addition to our stay and made the experience even more memorable. The location is excellent, just a 2-minute walk from the nearest subway station. There are several restaurants nearby, and both FamilyMart and Lawson are conveniently located within walking distance. Would love to stay again.

    “Nice hotel but a bit away from centre ”

    Hotel is just a year old with lovely rooms facilities and decent breakfast , and most importantly very clean . Just a bit far from city centre and connections , otherwise the property is decent to explore Kyoto and surrounding areas . Staff also is very good .

    “A great stay!”

    We stayed here for 5 nights, and it was a very pleasant experience. Everything was clean, spacious, and smelled nice. The communal bath was especially convenient after a long day of walking. Breakfast had a nice selection with both Western and Asian options. A huge thanks for providing drinking water on the tap which eliminated usage of excessive plastic bottles. I wish they didn’t change the towels everyday though. The only thing I wished for was better coffee quality—at least at the coffee shop/bar in the lobby. Unfortunately, they served the same automatic machine coffee as at breakfast, so we had to go out to find quality coffee elsewhere. Overall, it was a great stay and I would definitely recommend it.
