Highly recommended”

Great location next to Kyoto station. Really appreciated the hotel eco-friendly measures e.g. taking toiletries upon needs and not cleaning up rooms everyday while providing new towels. The spa is great and runs until midnight. There are series of manga for visitors to read. The breakfast is excellent! It offers both Western and Japanese style of food, delicious! The hotel staff is very polite and helpful too. A few minors: the WiFi connection is not completely stable; some TV channels could not be shown; and the room is a bit warm. The room is just good for one person. All in all, I travelled both for work and leisure and had a great time in Kyoto and Osaka.

The hotel itself is great, the personnel’s really kind, the room is small but very well-equipped. I was impressed by the breakfast. The food was apparently prepared with care and it comes with lots of varieties. The location of the hotel, though, is a bit tricky as it situated at the back of Kyoto station. If you arrive by train at the station, you can’t just go directly across the station to get there. The only way is to go through the underground tunnel or by the footbridge, which takes around 10 minutes and includes going up and down. It could be very confusing and brings lots of hassle to travelers not familiar with the station and/or carrying heavy luggage.
