Guest reviews

This was my second and last place to stay in Kyoto before leaving town. I felt the hotel had a good location and was well connected with trendy neighbourhoods at a walking distance as well as temples, shrines, and other points of interest. The room itself was good size and modern, spacious and well equipped. I could see Kyoto tower from the window. It had a mini-fridge and a kettle to make tea. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure. It was clean. The staff was okay overall, not the happiest bunch but they were okay to accommodate to a last-minute guest (for an additional cost) and keeping the luggage for few hours.

The room had a strange smell (old musty). Possibly because the carpet that must have just been hoovered. The pillows also smelled strange. I assume they were duck feather pillows and were washed just before checking-in without enough time to ventilate / dry.

That’s the worst hotel experience in my life. Unpleasant people on reception, very dirty, no cleaning at all for 3 days, very old furniture and high price

Great size room, bigger than we were expecting. Good location too.

Only down side was that it was a frosted window in our room so we couldn't see outside but it didn't spoil our stay.

Lobby lounge open all day for tea and coffee
