Pros:

Lovely hotel in Kyoto. Our garden room was very nice with a modern feel. Staff all very helpful. Happy for us to leave our cases on our last to day and collect later. Very close to metro stations, restaurants and bars.
Easy walk to many areas including Nishiki market, Imperial Palace and across the bridge to Yasaka and Sannenzaka.
Would definitely stay again.

Pros:

Overpriced for the type of hotel. Beds are not very comfy, pillows were bad, wifi in basement rooms was awful. The price they charged us (+500/night) was too much for the quality. They charged like a 5 star while being a 3 star tops.

Pros:

I liked this property a lot. Convenient location for food and transportation. I could've lived in the basement garden bathroom. Luxurious beyond words. The AC was a bit finicky, but really a non factor. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Pros:

​Our stay was absolutely phenomenal and truly elevated our entire trip to Kyoto. From its stunning design to its impeccable service, every aspect of this hotel exceeded our expectations.
​The location is, without a doubt, a 10 out of 10. Situated directly on the banks of the beautiful Kamo River, the hotel offers a tranquil escape while being just steps away from the heart of the action. We loved starting our mornings with a coffee overlooking the river. In the evenings, we could simply walk out the door and be in the middle of the vibrant Pontocho Alley for dinner, or take a short stroll across the bridge to explore the historic Gion district. The convenience is simply unmatched.
​The room was a perfect blend of modern luxury and Japanese elegance. It was spacious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully designed with incredible attention to detail.
​Finally, the service was exceptional. Every staff member we encountered was professional, warm, and genuinely welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable.
​If you are looking for a special place to stay in Kyoto that combines a prime location with a luxurious and peaceful atmosphere, this is the place to stay.

Pros:

It was a very nice hotel. Within walking distance to great restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Check in time is 3:00, so don’t expect to check in early. They don’t allow that. We had to pay $84 USD to check in at noon. I would totally stay here again. Had great room on the river.

Amazing experience for a centrally located hotel
Pros:

The hotel is centrally located for tourist visits and of easy access with public transportation. The staff is extremely helpful upon request. I liked the modern and automated approach for requests: you send a request via your mobile phone.
I enjoyed the garden view. While there is no outside view, you feel like being in a tropical forest. Amazing experience.
