Great location and as it’s Japan is all very clean and functional. All very hipster if you are in to that type of thing. It’s true the reception feels like a shared living space with students and others sitting around I guess to use the free WiFi.Rooms were functional and clean. Comfortable bed.But the restaurant service was so slow it was appalling. 30 to 45 mins in the morning to get eggs. Seriously. I wouldn’t go back for that reason.

It's a nice hotel worth the price, but if you're just going to go to bed before going to bed, it's too expensive. I can say that it is the address in Kyoto for those who love luxury and style.

Wonderful design, but I wouldn’t recommend staying here. The lobby is basically a free use public co-working space. Guests really can’t use it because it is over run with students and others camped out for the entire day. They need to provide Wi-Fi for guests only. I would stay elsewhere and maybe visit for coffee, cocktails, or food. But with so many Japanese experiences in Kyoto, maybe not.

Overall sick hotel. Great location, great architecture. Service here is not up to Japan standards. Closer to what you’d expect in the US. Staff in the lobby here think they’re too cool, pretentious, don’t even try to be nice. Much cooler to be kind.
