    We really enjoyed our stay! The room was very clean, modern and comfortable. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel had their own bathhouse! All in all, a great hotel in a very good location to see all the sights around Kyoto.

    Excellent location. A short walk to many excellent areas and close to the subway making it accessible everywhere. The onsen was fantastic and just what was needed at the end of a busy day out. Staff and facilities were perfect.

    Great personnel, very good looking hotel. Subway is very close and you can go directly to Osaka from there so it was a huge plus! Food was great too.

    Stylishly decorated, conveniently located (60 seconds from Shijo-dori and about 120 seconds from Gion), with an onsen for guests (hard to come by in city centre Japanese hotels), lovely, helpful staff, comfortable rooms, and a beautiful breakfast....
