Everything. Location is great, few restos around, big shopping mall just next to the hotel. Extremely nice and helpful staff, my children didnt want to leave. Room was very spacious and comfortable. The cherry on top was a small tv in the bathroom.

Very close to the Gion district in an area with plenty of option for amazing food. The room was massive and very comfortable, the breakfast was great with a lot of options and great quality. Bonus for being just 2 minutes away from a massive Nintendo store!

Convenient location near Kyoto Station, Bus to Kiyomizu-dera is right round the corner (make sure you catch time departure time). Well equipped rooms, wasn't lacking in any way. Close to a shopping mall with Don Quijote to get stuff. We had 7 people in 2 connecting rooms, could take another 3 if we used all the beds and 2 sofa beds. Make sure you exit on the correct side of Kyoto Station, else could be a long walk when the shops close and you are unable to cut across the malls in kyoto station to get to the other side.

Tidy, well equipped apartment in a great central location for a reasonable price. The kids loved the bunk beds and everything was comfortable. It was great to have a fridge and laundry to keep on top of things while travelling.

Great location, right next to the main station in Kyoto (despite that, the room was quiet, and we couldn’t hear the trains). The room was very spacious and clean, with towels replaced daily and cleaning every two days. Additionally, there was coffee, tea, and water in the room, as well as facial care kits. During our trip to Japan, we stayed in three different hotels, and this one was definitely the best—such a comfortable stay, and I would gladly come back again. Highly recommend!

We don’t often stay in ‘nice hotels’ so this was such a treat. The service is truly 5 stars. The hotel itself feels very luxurious through every touch. It was nice to have the swimming pool as being Summer and Aussies, we had missed being able to have a splash. Tattoos needed to be covered up, but it was open all day without reservations which was great compared to other hotels. Our view overlooked a Temple, the Kyoto Tower and some mountains. Room was spacious. Location good, close enough walk to Kyoto station. We didn’t dine onsite.

The best hotel I stayed in while in Japan. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The detailed design and finishes of the room were outstanding. The bathroom colour for instance was an unexpected yet VERY classy. The staff was friendly and super helpful in helping me get around. I loved the reception area. Also well appointed with a beautiful stream view. The apéritivo till 10 PM was an excellent touch (sake collection, snacks, tea and coffee).
