Great hotel to stay at in Kyoto!
We just stayed one night in Kyoto but the hotel was so good that we wished we had stayed longer :). We chose it on account of proximity to the train station and where our Kyoto day tour started. However it was very comfortable, they provided a locker facility for our luggage without any additional fee after we checked out and the room was prepared in advance for us including as needed to accommodate our child. The staff is friendly and we would love to visit again.

Very nice and comfy. Room is small as usual in most Japan hotels but the layout was designed cleverly and made the space very usable.

Luxury and Calm in a very busy city.
I could not find fault with this hotel it is the epitome of luxury, Calm and comfort, The room was perfect from the decor to the extremely comfortable beds.
The hotel is situated about 150 yards from Kyotos main train station on the opposite side to the Kyoto tower.
The reception on the 3rd floor is accessed by street level escalators. And after your daily excursions when returning to the hotel you can go to the guest lounge on the 3rd floor and have free soft drinks or beverages.
Most floors have a room near the lifts that have soft drink machines or alcohol machines.
The hotel does have a bar and restaurant but we never used them.
If you are looking for somewhere to relax and recharge your batteries this is the hotel for you.
