Kyoto: fantastic city, very nice hotel.
The stay at the hotel was great, Kyoto is wonderful. The hotel's location is fantastic, directly across form the airport bus depot. Th breakfast buffet is well stocked and offers some nice local options. The only problem was that we had three people, and the double room was turned into a triple by putting an extra bed in. We cold not easily move in the room. Staff was friendly and nice. I would stay here again if we had one or two people.

The breakfast buffet was very good; we actually looked forward to it.
Easy to use laundry machine that washes and dries in the same machine that you can lock with your own code. Very convenient and stress free.
Short walk to the station. We’ll definitely stay here again when in Kyoto. Highly recommended.

Absolutely wonderful stay – exceeded all expectati
From the moment we arrived until check-out, everything about our stay at this hotel was exceptional. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional – always ready to assist with a smile. The room was spotless, spacious (considering Japan standard) with every comfort thoughtfully provided.
The location is perfect – close to everything we needed, yet quiet and peaceful at night. We also loved the breakfast: fresh, delicious, and with a great variety to suit all tastes. The hotel’s amenities were top-notch, and every detail showed a high level of care and quality.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended, and we will definitely return! Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special.

Overall good property with clean rooms. Standard tiny Japanese hotel bathrooms. My only dislike is the smoking room on the first floor right next to the elevators. Definitely makes that area smell.
