Convenience, comfort, and service
Lovely little hotel. Very convenient location, great public transport options for attractions within Kyoto, as well as day trips. Outstanding front desk staff. Free afternoon tea with delightful desserts, and free evening drinks were lovely surprises. The soybean powder mochi ice cream was unreal. Our room was tight, we knew this going in (4 people in 1 room), but the property eased it with intelligent desing touches and excellent housekeeping. Cheap coin laundry was a nice plus! Exceptional value overall.

Best hotel in the world!
Loved this hotel. Best I ever stayed in and I have traveled all over the world. Elegant, accommodating staff, great location by Kyoto Station. Best of all… free ice cream parfaits in afternoon s and free saki, wine and beer at night. Lovely amenities. Laundry facilities. Wish they had a Richmond premiere in every city! This is a five star hotel in my opinion. Best value, ever.
