This hotel was a beautiful sanctuary in Kyoto. The foyer and lounge were spacious and luxurious, and the generous buffet breakfast and complimentary drinks and snacks in the lounge were a highlight. Our room was smaller than we expected, but everything was impeccably clean, modern and well planned. Highly recommend.

Nice sized and comfortable rooms with a stylish reception area, daily “activities” and a “premium lounge” available to all guests with snacks and, after 17:00, alcoholic drinks. Good area of Kyoto with easy access to transport and the market. Only minor weakness is the lack of a hotel bar or anywhere really to sit and have a coffee or drink after 21:00 hours following a day of “temple hopping”.

Nice hotel, a lot of money went to the lobby. So the rooms were small we stayed in a 3 person room and you could not open 3 suitcase simultaneously. So if you’re traveling with family take that into consideration!

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt! Tolles Ambiente bei der Einrichtung bis zum Frühstück japanische Tradition auf Moderne trifft. Großes Zimmer, freundliches Personal, hervorragende Annehmlichkeiten wie zB jeden Nachmittag von 15-17 Uhr Kaffee, Kuchen & Kaltgetränke umsonst.
