Hotel review

Hotel was clean, shower pressure was outstanding. Staff was friendly and helpful, each floor had and ice machine and water filler that gave out ice cold water, good start to a hot day. Plus a 10 min walk from Kyoto station is nice if you are bringing luggage or doing tours. Only thing I did not like was the fact they charge to use the pool per person per day.

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful family friendly hotel

It was a lovely hotel everyone was very friendly and was a great family hotel. My only complaint was the lack of vegetarian food in all the restaurants so we had to look elsewhere to eat.

The hotel was clean, service was great and had lots of on site restaurants in the hotel. We tried French restaurant on top of the hotel and Teppanyaki, they were both beyond amazing. Waiters were very professional and welcoming. Conveniently located near Kyoto station as well.
