I often come to Kyoto for business, and I would like to stay at this hotel as much as possible. The service from all the staff is excellent, and the facility is clean. Also, the bed is very dirty. You may sleep better than in your bed at home. There are only good things about this hotel. Kudos to this chain of hotels across the country. Thank you as always.

Convenient and relaxing

This hotel is welcoming and bright from the arrival at Reception lobby. Staff are helpful and kind in a natural way. Free soft and alcohol drinks from afternoon until the evening. Nice range of toiletries to choose from by reception desk. Very nice room. Different layout to what I expected, more like a ryokan but smaller and within a modern structure. Very conveniently located at walking distance from Kyoto Station
