“I found this hotel striking for its blend of modern design with thoughtful Japanese touches. Its proximity to subway stations and major attractions, like Nijo Castle, makes it a practical base for exploring Kyoto; though central climate control might not suit every traveler. The hotpot dining option is a nice alternative to the usual hotel fare, adding to the overall appeal.”

Excellent Location and Clean Rooms

cute staffcorner roommovable tvcomfortable bed

The staff were very cute upon arrival. I got upgraded to a larger corner room and appreciated that. The large movable TV let me watch Netflix. The beds and pillows were comfortable and bigger than other hotels I have stayed in. I could not hear traffic, so the soundproofing was excellent.

The room layout meant the fridge door blocked the walking passage when opened.

adequate stay with breakfast issues.

limited choicesbreakfast issue

breakfast was a letdown. there were very few options suitable for western tastes. fresh fruit needed constant replenishing, and croissants were missing on some mornings. this hotel definitely needs to improve breakfast variety.

the staff was so polite, they were accommodating always. our room was big, i think the standard twin room, it was very clean also. the hotel location places you just a walk from shops i was looking for.

the wifi, oh, the wifi. in my room, it didn't work the all time, i couldn't do work for days. also, there were no tea or coffee things in the room, that's a need.
