很棒，虽然价格偏高了，但是值得体验
Pros:

非常棒的住宿体验！窗外的风景比预想中的还要美丽。尽管鸭川看起来其实就和家乡的小河没什么区别，但相较于四条繁华的游客闹市区，鸭川三角洲提供了一个更为本地人的，舒适自然的生活方式。除此以外，整个房子的舒适度和清洁程度是值得夸赞的，交通也很便利，距离地铁站很近。距离热门地区四条、三条也很近。我们是为了去一乘寺、上贺茂神社与岚山才住在了这里，不得不说这个位置让我们都很满意。除此以外，我认为最加分的部分就是服务了，这可能是我住过服务最好的酒店，几乎是偏定制化的。在预定餐馆方便真的帮了很大的忙，而且推荐的餐馆都非常的本地和好吃。在这个事情上，我们都非常感激~

Cons:

基本没有，都很好。非要说的话……可能是有天早上在浴室里发现了一只大蜘蛛，吓了我一大跳。或许是附近的自然环境太好了吧？还有吹风机不太好用，但似乎这是日本吹风机的设计风格，把手都很纤细，用起来有点失衡。

Digne d’un grand hôtel mais intimiste
Pros:

Je cherchais un lieu hors du tumulte de la ville spacieux mais pas un hôtel de marque. J’ai trouvé tout le confort et l’accueil d’un 5 étoiles ⭐️ et du personnel au petit soin.

Cons:

Rien

Fine suites - extraordinary service, top - lovely location
Pros:

Wonderful service at Kamo Residences. We booked same day just after a late lunch and headed to Kyoto. Outstanding greeting and preparation for us. Our suites were large, incredibly clean, and the latest tech. Luxurious touch everywhere you look. Orchids on the dining table, fruity fresh scent on entry. Full washer dryer (staff helped us with the program and hanging while we were away). Blinds and full blackout curtains, all automated. Bathroom has chrome fittings, not a single fingerprint anywhere. Room cleaning 3 times per day - never had that before. Beautiful neighbourhood too, very much in the nature but easy to reach anywhere at the same time. Roof terrace was fantastic in the evening, wine, ice cream and nuts served by staff. Concierge and room service were incredibly helpful with our wishes. Excellent dinner reservation - we struggled and Kyoto is a challenge to get reservations last minute. I don't eat big breakfast, so I skipped - staff brought me two delicious croissants, a latte - butter and some local marmalade to the garden in the morning. Full marks. Thank you everyone at Kamo. Coming back again this winter!

完美
Pros:

店名低调到我找了半天，
才发现影影绰绰藏在一排绿植后面，
半遮面。

酒店各处细节都值得细细品鉴，
庭院幽静舒适。
房间超大玻璃景色让我们很是惊艳，
窗外几步之隔就是鸭川跳跳石。
房内布置高雅，
高支棉的床品超五星，
配有一应俱全的料理用具，

非常适合常住一段时间。

房间特意留了我们爱吃的ももとケーキ表示欢迎❤️。

Extremely Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Price
Pros:

The beds were comfortable.

The staff were very sweet and helpful. They seemed to lack direction and leadership but they were working hard and doing their best.

Cons:

Extremely Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Price

We left a wonderful stay in Gion expecting Kamo Residences to offer more value in a less touristy neighborhood. Unfortunately, this was a big mistake.

The reality is that this property is deceptively marketed. It looks like a Japanese luxury stay online, but in person it’s just a serviced apartment with nothing authentically Japanese about it. It even seems to be managed remotely through WhatsApp by someone not on the premises — possibly not even in Japan. The young staff who are there are kind and trying their best, but they seem very short-staffed and unsupported.

The positives:
• Staff respond quickly and kindly on WhatsApp.
• The bed was comfortable.

The negatives:
• We were told we would be upgraded, and I packed everything to prepare. But when we returned, nothing had been changed, and we had to unpack again.
• The bathroom is extremely small, with the bathtub just inches from the toilet — like something out of a Motel 6, not a “luxury” property. Who wants to take a bath right next to the toilet?
• Shower water pressure was weak, and the water never got hot enough.
• Only one towel per person with no space to hang them, so we had to reuse damp towels.
• No yukatas, pajamas, or special bathroom amenities like skincare products, which every other hotel we stayed at in Japan provided.
• The so-called “breakfast” was nothing more than random items bought at Family Mart (two croissants, wilted salad, and a couple of grapes).

Overall:
This was the most expensive place we stayed in Japan, and yet by far the most disappointing. It is not a luxury hotel, not remotely worth the cost, and travelers should be aware of the reality before booking.
