Fantastic view. Very spacious. Staff were super helpful. Absolutely the Kyoto experience we were looking for. The short walk to Kyoto station made it a great base for our time in Kyoto. The dining area in the room was super helpful for a family of 5 with fussy eaters. Small touches everywhere that made it a very special place to stay and a wonderful memory.

This hotel was a blend of a great location that was also very quiet since you are staying across the street from a huge temple. The staff at the front desk made sure we had everything we needed and the added bonus of the onsite onsen (very clean) was wonderful after long days exploring winter days in Kyoto. They provide you all the amenities you need for the onsen and we went every day, never having to use the shower in our room. The breakfast buffet felt very traditional, and they make to order staples such as omelettes and pancakes, if requested. The environment here feels like a health resort and you leave every night feeling restored.
