The waiters in the hotel are warm and considerate. The design of the hotel is really beautiful. The aromatherapy used in the lobby is very fragrant. I bought two bottles to take home when I left. However, I forgot to ask how to use it. I hope the hotel can respond here, can I?

One of our favourite hotels in Kyoto. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, with impeccable service that exceeded expectations. The hotel features modern Japanese architecture with understated elegance and is just a 2-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station, making it incredibly convenient. We really enjoyed our one-week stay, and the breakfast was a delightful highlight.

Well, we have found customer service just fine, but as a North American, |I wouldn’t expect everyone to know Car Park means Parking Lot. ||If you arrive via Kyoto Station, as we did, first you marvel at the station architecture. …

I so wanted to give this a 5 because everything was brilliant except… I am tattooed so was told at reception that I was not allowed to use the spa. I know this is common in Japan but I really do think that hotels catering largely for tourists need to bring themselves to 2024!

Absolutely fantastic experience. Every detail of the hotel has been crafted to give the best experience to guests - from hotel architecture, to room space and design, and to dining options. A must-stay for those who wish to be around Kyoto station area.To top it off, all the staff are extremely professional and friendly, even going beyond the high Japanese standards of courtesy.By far the best Japanese-style and owned hotel I have ever stayed.
