Cleanliness
1
Repeated praise for cleanliness in many reviews ("very clean", "乾淨整潔", "設備が綺麗でした", "clean and thoughtful design").
Service
1
Mixed reports: staff were helpful and went above and beyond in an emergency, and could be called when needed, but many guests noted impersonal self check-in, absent reception and some check-in/key-card issues.
Location
1
Consistently described as prime/perfect/2 min from station and near Nishiki market and Sanjo area — a major positive across reviews.
Room Quality
1
Rooms described as spacious, well-designed and high quality (suites fitting families, comfortable beds, luxurious linens, accurate photos).
Amenities
1
Several explicit negatives about amenities: no washing machine / no laundry room, no kitchen, difficulty contacting staff for assistance, and some check-in/key-card malfunctions — these practical deficiencies were repeatedly called out and materially affected stays.
Value for Money
1
Multiple guests called it excellent value and 'too good to be true'; many indicated it was a favorite stay during their trip.
Food and Beverage
1
A notable complaint about a strong smell of oil at the entrance/lobby coming from the kitchen/restaurant; no positive in-hotel F&B experiences emphasized in the reviews.
Overall Experience
1
Overall sentiment skews positive: many guests described the stay as magical, excellent, and would return, though some operational issues (self check-in, missing laundry, key problems) tempered the experience.

Beautiful hotel with great amenities and perfect location
Pros:

Brand new hotel and you can really feel how clean and thoughtful the design is. The room we stayed in was a suite and it fit 4 women traveling for 10 days perfectly. We were here for 4 nights but could’ve stayed forever! The robes and pajamas were so comfortable. Easy check in and check out - no human interaction though. Location is quiet and prime as well.

Cons:

Was not aware we’d self check in and out but the screen was very easy to use.

Excellent
Pros:

Great location, fabulous spacious room

Cons:

Smell of oil at the entrance and “lobby” of the hotel - this is coming from the kitchen/ restaurant at the front section of the hotel

Self service check in was ok, nice member of staff could be called with any issues. It’s functional rather than welcoming

We thought the booking was fake, it's definately real!
Pros:

Well damn, if you thought the same as me. Thinking it was fake or too good to be true. It's real! Honestly our favorite stay out of 7 accomodations in Japan across 23 days. We couldn't fault it at all. We'll be back for another visit sooner than later hopefully.

位置好，房间新&大，设施新
Pros:

位置很好。对面就是京都最老牌的甜品店。排队太省事了，😄

附近也有很多好吃的，边上就是三条通，到鸭川也很方便。

是新的物业，设施很新，很大。入住体验很好。

Cons:

就是接待处没有人，也没有方法可以联系到物业的人员。 连帮忙叫个出租车也不方便。
