“This property strikes me as a quiet retreat despite its central location near the Kyoto Imperial Palace, appealing to those seeking both cultural immersion and tranquility. I'm particularly drawn to the hotel's commitment to traditional Japanese hospitality and dining, and the complimentary shuttle seems incredibly practical for navigating the city. The reported issues regarding billing and room quality raise concerns that warrant attention, even though the generally positive feedback suggests these may be isolated incidents.”

shuttle bus large room breakfast option

The breakfast here is great, and I especially enjoyed the japanese breakfast option! The shuttle bus was very useful. It took me to a point closer to the center. My room was large and clean, which I enjoyed.

Gluten-free food was unavailable on the first day, even if I had confirmation beforehand.

all four restaurants offer amazing food. japanese, teppanyaki, cantonese, or the french-ish buffet are all excellent. lovely set courses are available for both lunch and dinner, too, and the lounge is relaxing with beautiful cakes.

Location

the location is in a residential area, but it's walkable to the nearby imperial palace. taxis are consistently available for transportation. the hotel provides good amenities, for example, they replenish water, tea and coffee daily.

Rooms

the room had a large table and chairs upon entry. there was also a dressing table and a bathroom with both a bath and shower. the bedroom area was spacious, and extras for the room arrived quickly.
