5/5 Excellent

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay – Spacious, Comfortable & Fully Equipped! This was hands down one of the best hotel stays I’ve had in Japan. The room was incredibly spacious, especially for Kyoto standards, and the bed and mattress were very high quality – I slept better here than I do at home! The amenities were outstanding and fully stocked: razor, Q-tips, wash cloth, hair brush, toothbrush with toothpaste, moisturizer, facial soap, lotion, plus the usual shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. You don’t need to bring a thing – they’ve thought of everything. The location was also a huge plus – just a short walk to the train station and right near a 7-Eleven, which was super convenient. Another highlight was the onsen onsite – it’s clean, relaxing, and has separate sections for men and women. Everything is provided, making it a true spa-like experience. And finally, the Japanese buffet was absolutely delicious! Great variety, fresh ingredients, and full of authentic flavors. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto. I would absolutely stay here again! "

5/5 Excellent

"We stayed for 3 nights, the hotel has an amazing first impression which is very Japanese. The bed was the most comfortable one we slept on during our whole trip in Japan and the room was a good size and really quiet. Breakfast was a highlight for us, we loved the choices and also the amount of Japanese options to try. Also the free ice lollies and Raman in the evening were fantastic. The onsen on site was also a great experience, very clean ans a great variety of baths. Overall we loved our stay here and would recommend to anyone to stay here. Being so close to Kyoto station was also a great benefit. "
