Vacations in Kyoto
Pros:

Excellent location opposite Higashi Hongan-ji Temple; the view while having breakfast is beautiful. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable, and it's located very close to Kyoto Station with many transportation options and tourist attractions. I loved that on certain days of the month they offer free transportation for guests to the main tourist sites. The staff is extremely friendly, and the hotel has separate onsen (hot springs) for men and women.

Cons:

There is nothing negative about my stay; it is the second time I have stayed and I have always received excellent service.

Convenient, comfortable and fantastic first time onsen experience. Can't ask for more!
Pros:

It was a fantastic experience! The staff was very helpful and courteous. The hotel has a beautiful serene and traditional ambiance, and full of lots of thoughtful details. For example, You can help yourself to whatever you need for the night ( e.g. toiletries) at the lobby area. The room is ultra clean and the bed is comfortable.

The location is very convenient, walking distance from Kyoto Station. We were worried about traffic and noise being close to the station but it's Japan so that's not an issue at all. The temple right outside of the hotel is a surprise highlight. It offers a night area to walk early and late at night for a leisure stroll. Ask for a room with the temple view!

Last but not least, yes, it's worth it to come here for the hot spring. It's a great way to experience Japanese onsen in a clean, contained, and relaxing environment. The hotel provides a helpful guide for first timers. It was soothing and restorative after a long day of travel...

We'll definitely come back!

Cons:

The space is tight (we run out of space for luggage) and the light is slightly more dim. Nevertheless, it was still a wonderful stay.

Great
Pros:

Everything was clean, the breakfast was great and having a free public bath for me was gold. The free shuttle that takes you to a tourist site of choice was also convenient.

I even got a special letter from the staff when I told them that I was traveling with my mom to celebrate my graduation. There was a Korean staff too so for Koreans, extra comfort.

Thank you so much, I would definitely comeback if I could.

Cons:

Nothing.
