The hotel offers comfortable, clean rooms decorated in a Japanese fashion with modern amenities, but it is a bit out of the way from some attractions. The service provided by the staff is excellent and accommodating. While the dining options are limited, the hotel is overall a good value for money.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, beautifully clean, and had all I could want, but there was a lingering smell of smoke from a previous guest. The service was excellent, particularly the outside staff who organized taxis. The location was perfect for exploring Kyoto, with many attractions within walking distance. The dining options were varied, but some found them pricey. Overall, a great value for money with some minor room odor issues.

Upon arrival, I was surprised that our rooms were not ready even though we checked in at 4 pm, well after the 11 am checkout time. The rooms themselves were adequate for our needs, clean, tidy, and beautifully comfortable. However, they were a bit cramped with furniture and an air purifier, making it a bit challenging to move around freely.

The hotel had a lingering smell of smoke in the rooms and the room key didn't match the standard of the entrance, needing modernizing. However, the staff outside who organized taxis were very helpful and the service from the front office was impressive. The location was convenient, with a lovely temple nearby and shuttle service to the train station. The dining experience was good with plenty of choices, although slightly overpriced. Overall, a decent stay with some areas needing improvement.
