Incredible stay
Pros:

We stayed in the suite with private onsen which was an incredible room. The staff were very attentive and it’s a great location, central to lots of places but quiet. Didn’t feel like we were in the city.

Cons:

Beautiful traditional hotel with updated amenities in the heart of Kyoto
Pros:

Beautiful hotel on a quiet street in a great area. I appreciated the traditional Ryokan rooms, but large Western beds (the only King bed we had in Japan that was a single mattress). The hotel was very comfortable and serene the staff could not have been more helpful. A short walk to many major attractions. I would happily stay here again.

Elevated Japanese hospitality and comfort in a quiet neighborhood.
Pros:

Exceptional hospitality from the front desk with a good grasp of English. Traditional Japanese luxury; tatami mat rooms (no shoes on), futon beds, nice space and living area. The best part was the traditional cypress wooden bath rub for soaking; it was huge, water temp was excellent as was the shower. Good privacy if staying with others. Also very quaint and quiet.

Cons:

It was very expensive for what it was, but we booked on the later side in the middle of Sakura season, so by comparison it was probably a deal. While safe and quiet - didn't seem to have a lot to offer, felt more like a local neighborhood. That said, we were only there for one night and it was rainy and a bit cold, so perhaps with more exploration we would have discovered the upsides.

Great property but impractical for a family of 4.
Pros:

Great decor. Beautiful.

Cons:

Room was not as big as I expected. No place to store luggage or unpack luggage due to tatami floor.
