This was the best hotel we stayed in Japan. Staff was super helpful and all spoke great English. The rooms were large and clean. Most things to do were within walking distance of the hotel. Overall this hotel experience helped the remainder of our trip be stress free.

Perfect Kyoto Hotel

We fell in love with this hotel! The location was perfectly situated to explore Kyoto and the staff were AMAZING! They were so friendly and helpful from everything to giving recommendations to helping us ship our luggage to our next hotel. The room itself was beautiful and large! We booked a double queen and the room had plenty of room for four adults to live in for 4 nights. AND THE BATHROOM!!!! The shower pressure was bliss, the soaker tub with the oxygenated bubbles was so nice after long days of walking and big enough to fit 6’2” men! The sauna was a nice touch as well! I would 1000% stay here again!

Excellent location with great location

New and clean hotel. Great breakfast. Really appreciated the laundry being available in the hotel lobby. Only complaint is regarding the fee/penalty they charge for not returning the room card keys. I am sure it is in the contracts but they definitely don't mention it verbally to you when checking in.

Was one of our favorite hotels while staying in Japan. Staff was great. Breakfast was high quality for the price. Room was clean, modern and spacious. The large tub and sauna made it a peaceful sanctuary to return to after running around Kyoto. Wished we’d stayed longer.
