Best hotel stay in Japan with wonderful staff!
Pros:

This was our favorite hotel in Japan. Customer service and staff was more than expected. Our room was also quite spacious and the included breakfast was delicious. The location is literally in the heart of Gion. We had to checkout early on Monday and the staff actually packed our breakfast into a bento for us to take along. We would definitely stay again next time we visit Kyoto.

Exceptional value, spacious rooms, and a peaceful location
Pros:

Exceptional hotel with spacious rooms, outstanding service, generous complimentary amenities, and a wonderful traditional Japanese atmosphere. The location is quiet yet only minutes from Kiyomizu-dera and Yasaka Pagoda. The in-room soaking bath, public bath, lounge snacks, and excellent breakfast made this one of the best hotel stays I have ever had. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Exceptional value, spacious rooms, and a peaceful location, yet only a short walk from Kyoto’s major attractions, shopping, and dining. The perfect balance between tranquility and convenience.

Cons:

Honestly, very little. If I had to be picky, the hotel still uses a traditional physical room key, so you either have to carry it with you or leave it with the front desk when going out. The hotel is also not particularly close to a subway station, although several bus stops are within a short walk.

The staff’s English was good enough for communication, but not as fluent as at some larger international hotels. Also, breakfast is a traditional Japanese set meal rather than a Western-style buffet. While I enjoyed trying it once, travelers looking for a larger buffet selection may prefer other options.

A place to stay, not to dine
Pros:

Great bath. Hinoki wood. Smelled wonderful and could really relax. Room was great.

Cons:

Dinner was not worth the money (especially after having a kaiseki dinner at a true ryokan) and I didn’t care for being referred to ‘western restaurants’ instead of eating their Japanese breakfast.

Neary rude people in Japan! That was interesting for a very kind country like this.
Pros:

The trace in my room. The green surrounding.

Cons:

The stuff was extremely local and it was impossible to communicate with them. I requested a company invoice and I still need a company invoice under my company name. I gave all the informations to them and they said booking.comm will issue the invoice. They knew nothing about the process!! I still need my company invoice and I need booking.com’s help regarding this!
