My partner and I loved this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room felt luxurious and clean. The onsen was also an amazing experience - we had it to ourselves on the afternoon we visited! An easy walk or metro ride to Nishiki market and local sights - I’d definitely recommend this hotel
