Loved having a shuttle bus to and from Kyoto Station. The breakfast was amazing. The linens were fantastic. We loved the yukatas. We enjoyed happy hour daily. Lots of restaurants to walk to and shrines/pagodas to see nearby - we went to the dragon ceiling more than once.

    “صراحه كل شي جميل اخذت فيه يومين من اجمل الفنادق اللي سكنت فيها”

  • Bon séjour dans l’ensemble mais des défauts rédhibitoires pour un établissement catalogué 5 étoiles.

    “Comfortable room, super location - we essentially walked to wherever we wanted to go - good breakfast (very good tempura station, with tempura being made fresh). We were greeted quite elaborately on arrival. The staff were helpful in arranging restaurant reservations. Took the hotel shuttle to the train station to catch our airport bus to Itami airport - that was convenient. Did not use the bath and other facilities that the hotel advertised, so cannot comment about those. The hotel was 'busier' than others we have stayed at - a lot of tourists.”
