The room was super clean and modern. Staff were very nice and the area was extremely peaceful and beautiful. Very easy walk to good shopping locations.
Nice and comfortable place to stay, but felt expensive for what it is. I feel like you could find similar places nearby that might include more (room cleaning, additional waters, etc.) for a better price, but this really did make a good place to come back to during our short stay in Kyoto.
We loved our stay. Beautiful design that melds traditional Japanese architecture with modernism. Check in was super easy. Luggage elevator is a nice amenity. Fresh water and microwave in lobby. The room was beautiful, shower excellent, nice that we could open the window. Higher end Toto toilet, and many different lighting options. Refrigerator in room. Loved the area. Nice and quiet. Would definitely stay again.

We had a nice stay overall. The only two issues we had were:
1.The air conditioning only worked properly the first night, so it got hot the rest of days.
2. The safe located in the closet does not work.
