I absolutely adored my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully designed and large for Japan's standards, complete with fantastic toiletries. The service was beyond exceptional, with extremely friendly and helpful staff who even arranged a meeting with a dentist for me. The location was superb, right near a station for easy access to downtown Kyoto and within walking distance to many attractions. While the dining options were a bit pricey, the food was vast and delicious. Overall, a delightful experience with just a few minor downsides.

Staying at this traditional ryokan was a delightful experience. The rooms were simple but cozy in Japanese style with tatami mat floors and futons, maintained superbly clean, and the service was flawless throughout. The only downside was the lack of proper ventilation in the room, making it a bit too warm during my stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The location is great, right next to a subway station, making it convenient for exploring Kyoto. The rooms were spacious for Japan's standards and had lovely toiletries; however, they were too hot as there was no air circulation and had too many switches for the lights. The service was exceptional - friendly and accommodating, with staff fluent in English. The dining was varied but quite expensive, not providing the best value for money. The facilities were well-kept and added to the overall comfort of my stay.
