The hotel was amazing. The staff were able to accommodate all needs. Bringing our luggage to our rooms, shuttle to the train station, laundry services and much more. There are bus stations, malls, tons of restaurants, and shrines about 5-11 mins away walking. Both dining options for breakfast was spectacular. I would highly recommend. The rooms also have complimentary skin care and hygiene products. Something to keep in mind is check in is at 1400.

We stayed in the luxury family room which was massive, we had four beds two at either end of the main room with a lounge, TV and seating area in between. The room has a large bathroom containing two different shower/bath options allowing two people to shower separately at the same time and a separate toilet. The hotel is only a short walk from Kyoto Station which contains many restaurants and food and transport options. I highly recommend this hotel, I would definitely stay here again.

Property was great, generally well-kept and very comfortable. The room was extremely spacious and good value for money. It would have been nice if the pool facilities were included in the price of the room rather than an extra. Location is close enough to Kyoton Station with a shuttle available too. Overall, we would recommend this hotel.

A beautiful hotel, and the staff was very courteous. I'd stay there again but choose a different room. The Executive Junior Suite that we chose was quite outdated and the furniture in need of replacement. The room was very spacious with a separate sitting room from the bedroom.
