Used in September 2023. A room with an open-air hot spring bath in the middle of Kyoto! I was very satisfied.

The location here was superb. Due to the nature of the Kyoto trip, which involves a lot of walking, it was nice to return to the hotel and have a beer at the hot springs and terrace to relieve the fatigue. However, the downside is that the room is too small. If I had to choose again, I think I would choose this hotel.

Perfect location with amazing amenities. The foot bath on the roof alone was worth every penny. And the public baths were nice as well. The men’s hardly ever had more than a couple of people in it!

The hotel was very well located and with a luxurious design. The room was beautiful, very large and with all amenities. We enjoyed the rooftop bar view with complimentary drinks, as well as the complimentary coffee and ice cream available in the lobby, a very nice touch! The staff was very helpful to help us send our luggage to our next hotel.

Unique! We had the room with its own onsen and also had a private exit to the outside. For each room you have your own slippers and several outfits (pyjamas, leisure suits). There was also no shortage of care products. It was all there!The view from the rooftop bar was beautiful and the foot bath on the terrace was great. The staff was always polite and courteous and the food tasted very good and was traditional. The rooms were perfect and always very clean. The minibar was also refilled every day.I would come back at any time!
