Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were well-functioned and spacious, but it did feel very crowded at times due to the tour group presence. The location was extremely convenient, right next to the station, making it a breeze to access public transportation for sightseeing. The service was top-notch, with staff being fluent in English and always polite and helpful. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited choices available, especially for breakfast.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and immaculate, which was a pleasant surprise for Japan. The friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience. The location, right by Kyoto station, was incredibly convenient for all my needs, but the dining experience left something to be desired.
The hotel is conveniently located above Kyoto station, making it a great hub for exploring the city. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, though they show signs of aging compared to some other hotels. The service is mixed, with helpful staff going the extra mile but limited operating hours being a drawback.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were modern with a huge bed, and the shower pressure was excellent. However, our room was at the end of a long hallway, making it a bit of a trek to reach the elevators. The service was top-notch, with staff being very helpful and having a good understanding of English. The location was perfect, with easy access to transportation to visit different places in the city. The dining options were limited, but I really enjoyed the freshly squeezed sweet potato and carrot juice. Overall, a great experience with some minor inconveniences.
The hotel is conveniently located right above Kyoto train station, making it ideal for day trips by rail, but less convenient for exploring Kyoto itself. The rooms are spacious with beautiful city views but might be challenging to reach if you have young children. The service is efficient but lacks personal touches, and the dining options are satisfactory but not extraordinary.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room was comfortable and reasonably priced, but the long walk to get there and the persistent bad smell were definite drawbacks. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, especially when they accommodated my request to switch rooms due to the noise. The location was super convenient, right next to the train station, but the dining options were somewhat average.
The hotel offers nicely appointed rooms with complimentary amenities like water bottles and toiletries, though the room temperature might be too warm for some. The service is attentive, helpful, and friendly, making the stay enjoyable. The location within Kyoto train station is convenient, but access from the station can be tricky. Dining options are varied, with both Western and Japanese dishes available. Overall, a good value for the money.
The hotel is conveniently located above Kyoto Station, making it easy to access public transportation and explore the city. The rooms, although not facing Kyoto Tower, are nicely appointed with complimentary amenities, and access to the executive lounge is a great perk. Service was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to accommodate requests. The dining options, while featuring a good selection of Western and Japanese dishes, had some room for improvement. Overall, a great base for sightseeing in Kyoto with excellent value for the price paid.
My stay at the hotel was just fabulous! The rooms were comfortable and had a nice western style, though they felt a bit dated. They were spacious and easily accommodated 3 adults, and the design was beautiful with thoughtful configurations throughout.
Choosing this hotel was a great decision; the location next to Kyoto Station was perfect for exploring the city, with an array of shops right at my doorstep. However, the mixing of smoking and non-smoking rooms resulted in unpleasant corridors. The dining experience offered a mix of delicious Japanese and Western dishes, but the in-house restaurants felt overpriced.
