Staff were very friendly and helpful! The hotel has a happy hour for a 2 hour period with free alcohol, drinks and snacks! A great place to unwind after a city vibe of you were previously in Tokyo! Nice relaxing Onsen. A little bit of a walk from the main strip but this can be a positive if you need some piece and quite!

The property was lovely and the staff could not have been more helpful. We enjoyed being in the Gion district, ventral and close to restaurants and transportation. We really liked that there was a free shuttle bus to the Kyoto Train Station. A couple of small things: we wish there was better lighting in the hotel room sink area for shaving and make-up. The food at the breakfast buffet was great, plentiful and diverse, but we felt a little rushed to finish, with staff picking up an empty plate as soon as you took the last bite.
