The hotel is old but historic. The rooms were ample and very comfortable. The staff was super nice and went out of our way to help us feel welcome.
The location is perfect, very close to the temples and at a 5 minute taxi ride from the train station. Also walkable in half an hour or less.
Breakfast was very good.
I would have stayed one night longer to be honest.
This was our second stay at this fabulous, historic hotel. Food was extraordinary and the staff is terrific. The maitre de was very welcoming and gracious. Front desk staff and support staff are top notch. Well located and just a very meaningful visit.
Our room in the annex was very spacious, new and comfortable. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We had to leave early before breakfast so they made us a nice box meal to take with us. We would stay there again.
great stay. The staff was amazing. elegant surroundings that harkened back to the turn of the century. Authentic. Simply appointed with old world charm. Past guests from early 1900’s would recognize its charm immediately.
This is a great hotel with a fantastic history. Large, comfortable, quiet rooms in a serene setting. The staff is friendly, efficient, and eager to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They made us feel like royalty.
The oldest Western-style hotel in Japan. Beautiful elegant building and old world charm - a welcome change from the ultra modern hotels prevalent in Japan. Would thoroughly recommend.
Property itself has has an amazing garden with access to river and some great mossed areas. Also situated on the gateway to the heritage areas. Huge room with intriguing heating, steam-punk stuff. Views from room of mountain ranges absolutely intriguing. Furniture bit worn but otherwise clean. Hotel building fascinating to explore. Staff very helpful and courteous.
The Hotel has a amazing history of how long it been around since 19 century.
The staff were amazing with theirs hospitality as well explanation on the ways that the Hotel is setup and how to get around the Hotel.
Lots of charm and character but little tired in places. Great hotel and large rooms. Had two dinners there. Very good but pricey.

This may be my all time favorite of all the hotels I’ve stayed at! It’s maybe not for everyone but it oozes history and it felt like stepping back in time. The staff is really wonderful and were amazing. The beds super comfortable and the room had an amazing view of the river and mountains. If you’re a nostalgist like me you won’t be disappointed.
