I used it for family celebrations.First of all, there are spider webs in the room, replacement sheets are left out (do you mean you should change the sheets yourself?), and cleaning the room is very difficult as there is food and garbage left on the desk. It was so disappointing that I couldn't believe it was the service of a star hotel. When I think about wasting my precious time in a hotel like this, I can't help but regret the choice I made.I think it's a five-star hotel because it's in a good location, and if you're lucky, you'll get a good cleaning staff to keep your room clean.It's not like I'll get my time and money back, but I wanted them to at least apologize. How about minimum manners? I wrote my impressions and what actually happened in a letter left in my room and sent it to the hotel, but a month has passed and I still haven't heard anything. I can't do anything. And Google hasn't responded either. I want my family time back, which I only had once in my life.

At first we accidentally booked a smoking room on Booking.com. This could be rebooked non-smoking for a small additional charge. That's strange anyway. This was offered for free at check-in and we did not have to pay anything extra. Due to our anniversary. Not even after asking twice. Today when we checked out we suddenly had to pay extra because we had also requested a larger room. This is not what we wanted, we only wanted a non smoking room. Once again it remains strange that a non-smoking room should be more expensive. We have now paid 70 euros more, which is not not very customer friendly for a beautiful hotel. If you promise something, you keep youre promise. We only had the room, so we can't review the restaurants. We learned we cannot trust the communication at a front desk.My response on the "Room Director" answer. It is a shame you don't respond to my content-related complaint and make up you're own story. It was not my misunderstanding. I almost can't believe the management response. By check-in I asked about the extra payment, but it was not necessary, as discribed in my first reaction. Its a shame such a miscommunication between the staff of the front desk. Advice from my part, next time make notes of the promises to clients staffs makes at the front desk, so that guests get what there are promised. I do not feel satified and understood. If you book this hotel, make sure you get everything on writing at the front desk.

This hotel is near Kyoto Station. There are plenty of tenants such as Avante nearby.This is the hotel I went to with my girlfriend a long time ago.It was my second affair, and although I didn't get to be with my girlfriend who is 9 years younger than me, it was a good memory🎵
