素晴らしい京都の思い出を作ることができ、親孝行できました。
Pros:

両親の金婚式のお祝いで2日間、子供達5人で伺いましたが、お部屋、サービス、窓からのロケーション全て想像以上で素晴らしかったです。
ラウンジからの八坂の塔は絶景でしたし、ちょうどチェックインの日は舞妓さんの舞があり初めて拝見させていただきました。
お部屋もリビング付き、バルコニー付きのお部屋で、外に出るのが勿体無いぐらいでしたが、行きたい場車がたくさんあった為、部屋でゆっくり過ごすことができなかったのが、心残りです。
次回、京都に遊びにくる際も、ぜひ利用させていただきたいです。

Cons:

お部屋のコーヒーマシンに前回利用されたコーヒーの汚れが付着しておりました。

夜中の寝室の天井の音が気になり熟睡することができませんでした。
しかしお部屋があまりにも素晴らしかった為、変更してもらうより、夜中だけ我慢して滞在させていただきました。

A high quality haven in a hectic destination!
Pros:

Everything - the hotel is a haven after a hectic day. The service is exceptional. Our tour guide/driver booked via Get Your Guide (provider being Best Trip to Kyoto) did not turn up as scheduled or communicate with us, so we were badly let down. The reception team/concierge organised a replacement for within an hour despite it being a bank holiday, who was frankly much better than the Get Your Guide options we had taken in Tokyo. They salvaged our day and stay in Kyoto. We cannot fault the hotel and its high spec, comfortable, with great quality food and exceptional service. Thank you!

Cons:

The food diversity may not suit all western tastes but it is delicious!

A stunning and comfortable haven with exceptional service.
Pros:

It had a really relaxed feel in a hectic place. The service was exceptional - our tour/guide that we had had booked through Get Your Guide (activity provider being Best Trip to Kyoto) did not turn up and didn’t communicate with us. We felt very badly let down, but the hotel reception/concierge managed to book an alternative within an hour - who was frankly much better than the Get Your Guide options we had used in Tokyo. They saved the day for us! The lounge and service is generally excellent and the hotel is a haven after a busy day. The rooftop bar is also gorgeous with stunning views. I wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend the property - thank you to all the team there.

Cons:

Nothing really. The food is perhaps not as diverse for western tastes but the quality is excellent.

Outstanding hotel, location, customer service and staff with an excellent buffet and views!
Pros:

The room was comfortable and large with big windows, well equipped. Lots of light, roof top and pagoda views, modern and serene room. The bathroom is big, great hot water pressure, wonderful amenities constantly replenished. Loved the wood tooth brushes, combs, and hair brushes. Very sweet to send up to the room nonalcoholic Chardonnay for a birthday—was delicious.

Cons:

Guests should be told to wear the indoor slippers provided by the hotel because the carpets have dirt stains. The third sofa bed was smaller than expected. Non dairy milk or creamer should be provided for the coffee machine.

Pros:

Trata-se de um excelente hotel, com uma estrutura compatível com a categoria a que se propõe, os quartos são amplos, confortáveis, destaco o serviço que sempre nos encanta pela gentileza e cordialidade. Os restaurantes do hotel são geridos por terceiros, testamos apenas o do rooftop que tem uma vista privilegiada para a Pagoda, e foi uma ótima experiência.

Cons:

Talvez a única coisa que eu não tenha gostado foi a decoração de natal, ver aquela árvore de natal em tons de azul "brigando" com a beleza da fachada restaurada me trouxe certo incômodo. Fora esse detalhe, pontuo também o café da manhã, que mesmo excelente, limita o pedido dos pratos quentes a uma única escolha.
