Lovely hotel just outside the centre of Kyoto. We arrived slightly before the check in time and the hotel staff allowed us to check in early. Room was so spacious with 2 very comfortable beds and an amazing wet room. Nice touches like a heated bathroom, robes, bath salts. Fast WiFi. The lounge is lovely, fresh sandwich’s served every morning, noodles and snacks available all day and in the evening premium drinks (grey goose, etc) are free to help yourself too. There is amazing terrace attached to the lounge, but was too cold to use during our stay. The hotel is about 10 mins walk from a JR rail station, 2 stops to Kyoto station and 2 bus stops are outside. Great for those who want to get out and about to sightsee. My only criticism of the hotel is the front desk isn’t manned 24/7, as think the same staff do the housekeeping, stocking the lounge etc. Staff were available should need anything (using local text message platforms) but it would have been nice to have someone more available on the front desk. Would really recommend this hotel to tourists visiting Kyoto, great location, large rooms, lounge is a great perk and well located for getting around the main tourist sites.
