"Easy location to walk to once you arrive to Kyoto station - even with suitcases and backpacks. No cab needed as it’s barely a five minute walk.
Breakfast in my opinion is a case of quantity over quality and I’ve preferred the breakfast at other places we stayed where there is not as much variety but it’s high quality. In saying that, I take my hat off to the chefs who prepare so much food every day for all the guests. It would be literally impossible to deliver that much food at a high quality so it’s definitely not a criticism of their efforts.
The onsen was extremely busy so not as relaxing as I’d expected so only went once during our five night stay, which was a shame. The massage chairs are a great addition as an alternative and the hot drinks were great to have available all the time.
Very glad we included this hotel to get a slightly more authentic Japanese experience, but was very glad to see a more familiar bed and pillow once we got to Osaka.
Extremely hectic hotel in a convenient location and the staff do a great job of keeping it in order.
If you want a great place to eat try the Gyukatsu Kyoto that’s a two minute walk down the road. Amazing beef!"
