    Location was a bit far from the subway and the main tourist attraction, however the shuttle was helpful.

    Rooms were large, clean and well appointed. We had 3 people and it felt quite spacious. Both the Japanese set breakfast and American buffet were excellent.

    Aside from the imperial palace, it is quite distanced from other attractions, requiring taxi rides or a ca. 1km walk to the nearest subway station & bus stop, Imedegawa station. The hotel restaurants are quite busy, especially during peak tourist seasons, thus advance reservation is recommended.

    Beautiful and spacious building with rooms arranged a central atrium, which gives it an airy, uncrowded atmosphere - unlike many other Japanese hotels. Rooms are spacious & well furnished. Staff are friendly & helpful. Location is excellent to visit the imperial palace.

    At check in, I feel like staff investigate me many things before I can check in. Like I have to put my Thai address in detail. This is the first hotel that I have to give my private information. It would be better if staff please be more friendly and smile. The unlucky chance was about laundry... I did prepared clothes lists and put on the hotel laundry bag and leave in room as the staff checked in explain to me. But in reality is I have to call house keeper. Even if whom came to clean our room saw it they just gave us the paper with information of how to send clothes to laundry.....​If can send for us it would be great... But unlucky we didnt get that chance.

    The location is good. I xan walk to Kyoto Imperial Palace and Kamo river in 2 kms. The room is very clean and convenience. Breafast is the best I love Lychee for western breakfast. I did mistake about losing 2 breakfast vouchers in the last day then I asked staff at reception he was very kind and gave it to me immediately without investigation. . I do appreciate it alot.

    A suggestion really. The hotel is outside of the main tourist centre of Kyoto. Coming back, particularly after a night-out it is very tempting to just hail a taxi, but note that the subway is a fraction of the cost. The hotel is between subway stops, but it is actually less than a 15 minute walk from either station and the streets felt perfectly safe, even late at night.

    Large, well apponted room.
