Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms with an outdoor hot tub were a real treat, offering a relaxing experience. The service was top-notch, with excellent room service and housekeeping. The location, although not the most convenient for quick sightseeing, was set in a lovely area of Kyoto accessible via JR3 from Kyoto station. The dining experience, particularly the fried fish, left a delicious impression. The facilities were great, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is situated in a lovely area of Kyoto, but its location on JR3 from Kyoto station to sightseeing might not be the most convenient if you are short on time. The rooms come with an outdoor hot tub, offering a unique experience, but the dining menu seems to focus heavily on grilled fish. The service is commendable with room service and housekeeping available, though the overall value for the price could be better.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms with an outdoor hot tub were a luxurious treat, but the sightseeing was not so convenient if you're short on time. The service was top-notch with excellent room service and a pleasant welcome drink. The dining experience with baguettes was delightful, though. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few inconveniences.
