"The shower was soooo nice and the bed was super comfortable. The hotel was very spacious as well. Everything felt extremely clean and peaceful. Would HIGHLY recommend this hotel. Also loved the quaint little gym. Had the basics which is great on vacation. "

"Breakfast was amazing and the tranquility is breath taking. Will definitely book again. Great value for money. Only thing is rooms need updating but still absolutely old world feel which is good. Very clean!"

"Probably the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at in Japan. The room we got was bigger than the ones we got at Shinjuku and Osaka. Bathroom is massive as well and gave us enough room space for two people with two luggage’s. The place has a public bath available and we were informed that guests with tattoos were allowed to use it which was fantastic. Family mart is right downstairs and is able to be accessed by the hotel side so you don’t have to walk out. New amenities and room was cleaned every day. Also, very close to the station. The aquarium as well is nearby which can be a fun day activity for people. Personally, it did feel kind of far from everything in Kyoto but if guests are too tired to go anywhere else after exploring Kyoto, the Family Mart has many options available for food. Very satisfied with our stay and will book with this chain again in the future. "

"The rooms were big and comfy, the onsen was also really relaxing. My only concern was there was no ice bath to cool off in but other than that it was very nice. They offer free ice pops as well which was amazing. The massage chairs however were always occupied so we didn't get to use them. The pillows and mattress are also very firm but surprisingly we would wake up with no back pain. In terms of closeness, it's about a 5 minute walk from Kyoto station. We really enjoyed our stay here regardless"

"The location was excellent for getting to places"

"I had no idea what I was getting into. This is a super cool hotel if you want a true Japanese Onsen experience. You start with taking your shoes off and doning either pajamas they provide or your pick of Kimonos ( not sure if what men wear are Kimonos but nonetheless) which they also have for you. Then you head off to either a private bath ( pick the third or the 5th one if you want to be outside)or the public bath ( split for men and women). After bathing you can get a massage, have a traditional dinner or change and walk into town and see the Bamboo forest, temple, take a river boat ride or shop and eat. Plenty to do. It is on the one side of the City and the Golden Temple and the big food market is on the opposite side. To go to the Golden Temple requires you take the train that is across the street 3 stops, transfer and work your way into the opposite side of the city. Assume its an hour if you time all the trains right. Overall, it was an awesome experience!"

"This was my favorite stay in Japan. We stayed on the 12th floor with the most picturesque view of Tokyo tower. The amenities were perfect and the location was perfect as it is located in the Kyoto station. Highly recommend. The staff was also amazing. "
