The stay was okay and the hotel was clean, but the bed was too soft and uncomfortable. Breakfast was just average and the pastries were too hard. The front desk and restaurant staff didn’t seem friendly or welcoming. The public bath wasn’t clean in the evening with a layer of soap visible on the water. Overpriced..

Great hotel just a short walk from the Shinkansen tracks at Kyoto station. The staff were very friendly, the room was spacious and of a very high standard. Highly recommended if you’re staying in Kyoto - and particularly if you’re using Kyoto station regularly to explore other areas (Nara, Osaka etc).
