I absolutely loved this hotel! It's in the heart of Kyoto, just steps away from major train stations and close to the main tourist attractions. The traditional Japanese style rooms were cozy and filled with lovely amenities, making my stay truly memorable. However, the dining experience was a bit average despite the delicious homemade sweets. Overall, a great value for money with excellent service and a prime location.

Staying at this hotel was like a traditional Japanese experience with rooms in the authentic style of Japan. The micro-sized bathroom was a bit tight to maneuver, but the Japanese bedding added a unique touch. The location was superb, putting me right in the heart of Kyoto near major train stations and surrounded by plenty of dining options. The service, although lacking a bit in the laundry department, was overall attentive and friendly.
