This was the nicest hotel of trip. While the room felt a little dated, it was comfortable and clean. It was also the biggest room we stayed in. Staff was friendly and organized
Good size room, staff were great and helpful, added bonus of a courtesy bus to Kyoto station. Great location. Bathrooms were old and dated, pillows not great had to buy a pillow from the shop
Difficult to use facility due to minimal English language signage. Nice , friendly staff. Tried hard. Adding 1 or more English speakers, particularly at restaurants would improve English speakers experience
Room was clean, hotel was well known by taxi and Uber drivers so it was very easy to communicate our hotel when not using the apps. Central to most attractions and there is a 711 conveniently located across the street. This was a nice luxury hotel for our stay in the Kyoto and would recommend.
Great pool, on the upper scale so limited splashing with kids in it. Yet great pool and staff.
Also great dinner buffet. Excellent choices and felt very high class buffet.
Room for 4 was perfect and spacious.
Proximity to the Kyoto station including a shuttle to the train station.
