Very attractive lobby area and room
The location was not near sightseeing attractions other than one castle. The hotel did not have a fitness center or a pool.
The location of the hotel is great The staff is very friendly and attentiveThe rooms are very nice Restaurant is great
Highly recommended this hotel. Location and room were excellent. Hotel staff were very friendly snd helpful. Specially at the reception desk. It was amazing stay❤️
The staff, the surrounds, the building is fabulously decorated.
Restaurant left a lot to be desired. Very disappointing
The room was nice and friendly staff
The hotel only has the lobby, no facilities, no gym, no spa.. for the price is not worth it. The restaurant isn’t good.
Food was good, produce excellent.
Bedding was uncomfortable. should at least have some exercise bikes or a very small weight room. And even a small sauna or steam room.
The hotel was really nice however they are advertising for a hot tub and the only thing in the room is a bath tub! We actually booked the room on the basis of making use of the hot tub as we were in the room quite early in the evening with our toddler going to bed. The staff is very friendly and breakfast and dinner were great.
Like I said there was no hot tub in the room so the price was too high for us considering this. Bear in mind there's also no spa or pool etc. We complaint about false advertising as it was on our booking that we would have a hot tub and they offered no compensation at all although admitting it was their error.
Location facilities and staff were all amazing. Great bar and great hot tub.
This hotel is gorgeous - every detail has been planned out in the rooms and it is perfect. The bed is super comfortable and that bathroom is luxurious. We wish we could have stayed at this hotel longer!
It was expensive but it was worth it! It is a little far from central Kyoto but close to Nijo station which connects you anywhere you’d want to visit
Very high quality breakfast, with a choice of Japanese or Western. Staff are friendly and very attentive. Location is also great as there is a train station less than 2 minute walk away, and easy to book taxis.
As this is a smaller, boutique hotel - there are not many places except the lobby area and your room to relax.
Staff were fantastic
Additional A$150/night for extra bed for my 12yo even though we had already paid for 3 people.
The breakfast, location, staff, room size, bed size, & room view.
Nice location, fine room with plenty of space and great terrace. Staff is exceptional even for Japan . Restaurant has great food just very Japanese. I would stay again in a heartbeat. Very nice stay.
Large clean room. Excellent staff and very helpful. Helped with making reservations and excellent dining recommendations.
No pool or spa facilities. Bar and restaurant were by reservation only so if you wanted a quick meal or a happy hour cocktail, you had to go somewhere else. Only one sink in the bathroom. Had beautiful patio, but too hot out to use it and too many biting insects to be comfortable. Insect repellent would be a nice addition.
New and clean.
Taxi drivers do not know about this hotel, probably because this hotel is relatively new. Plus very difficult for foreigners to pronounce the name of the hotel to make Japanese taxi drivers understand. Time is cure.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Sound insulation was very poor. I could clearly hear the foot steps from the room upstairs.
great location, beautiful view from the room. exceptional service, excellent breakfast
there’s no roof or garden to hang out
This hotel is exceptional, from the staff, to the design and decor, and the fabulous rooms. It is well located for an easy walk or train to many of Kyoto's tourist sites. The 10 course degustation dinner at the hotel restaurant was amazing, as was the included breakfast. A special mention for the fabulous professional staff.
Nothing (apart from having to leave!)
Everything from the very courteous staff to the amenities are excellent! The rooms were very spacious and comfortable.
