Pros:

It can be very noisy music and vibrating floor due to the night bar on top of the hotel which is kind mind blowing that they have such kind of arrangement. Not ideal! I was worried I won’t be able to sleep, but luckily Kyoto tired me out quickly. If you are a light sleeper, this is something to consider. My husband had no issue.

Staff service was exceptional! They carried our luggage up for us. Location is the best.

The location for this hotel could not be beat! The bathrooms were a little awkward, having to step up to enter. Other than that, we had a great stay!

Pros:

This hotel is conveniently located across from the station. The reception is on level 8. The luggage was was good. Our room was comfy for our family of four. My major issue with the hotel is the elevator. As the hotel is under the Kyoto tower it shares an elevator with the tower. When we tried to get to our room on level 5, the lifts were full of people leaving the tower. The reception staff failed to mention another bank of elevators in the other side of the floor. We had to carry our luggage down the stairs to level 5. There are other hotels around the train station so I recommended checking those out.

Pros:

We arrived with a child tired from a long trip at 1:30 pm. We were told our two rooms were ready. However check in time is 3 pm we were told. If we wanted prior access we would have to pay extra per hour according to the front desk. I asked whether we would get refunds if we checked out a few hours early at the end. The answer of course was no. In six decades of travel I have never experienced such offensive greed in the form of a shakedown at check in. Asked if we had any allergies and mentioning aversion to shellfish, we were asked to fill out an elaborate indemnity form at check in repeating personal information already available in the reservation system. Nothing positive can be said after such an abusive welcome. To be avoided if possible.

Pros:

Good location within walking distance to Porta mall and Train station. The room is old, but clean, bathroom is smelly.
If you get there by train, walk up to main gate with escalators if you have luggages. Don’t follow Google map.
