    spacious room
    convenient bus stop
    family-friendly

    I stayed with my family for 4 nights in the Signature Family Suite. The room was spacious and had a great layout for all four of us. A toddler. It was super convenient with a bus stop right outside, and we loved the nearby playground for our little one. Overall, a fantastic stay! 😊

    ease of access to top attractions in kyoto

    the location made it super easy to stroll to Nishiki Market in just 10 minutes, enjoying great eats along the way, and I loved that the bus stop to Kyoto train station was right in front of the hotel, making it hassle-free to explore the city and beyond.

    comfortable bed
    spacious room
    unique experience
    lack of amenities
    inconvenient service
    room design mismatch

    The stay was enjoyable with a comfortable bed and a spacious room layout. However, the lack of basic amenities like sufficient plugs and towels every day was a bit inconvenient. The room design also did not match the photos that were advertised. Overall, it offers a unique experience but with room for improvement in service and facilities.

    spacious room
    small elevator

    The hotel is perfectly situated just a 10-minute walk from the lively Nishiki market, making it easy for us to explore local delicacies. We found the facilities impressive, as our tatami room was both spacious and cozy, equipped with modern amenities. The cleanliness was impeccable, enhancing our overall comfort significantly.

    The only downside was the small elevator, which could make it a bit inconvenient during busy times.

    Would definitely recommend for a swift stopover

    Spacious room, comfortable amenities, featuring a cozy tatami setup with ample wall hooks for jackets and a small side table to enjoy our snacks while being conveniently located with a bus from the station stopping just in front.

    Thoroughly pleased

    great location

    Room was super spacious with a cozy vibe! Loved the little balcony for fresh air. Staff were genuinely super helpful, and the location makes it easy to hit up the train station and shops nearby.

    Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.

    worn-out room
    stained walls
    price discrepancy

    Staff are friendly and multilingual, making communication seamless. The location is fantastic, with multiple eateries and easy access to public transport right outside. However, the room was disappointing. stained walls and a dated appearance do not reflect the photos online. While other hotels nearby offer better value, the recent renovation was limited to the lobby, leaving the guest rooms overlooked.

    comfortable stay but limited dining options

    The Essential Tatami room was a wonderful blend of comfort and culture with ample hooks to keep our belongings neatly organized. Cleanliness stood out significantly, making our family feel right at home. Plus, waking up to the breathtaking mountain view each morning was an amazing bonus! !

    While the stay was overall enjoyable, the hotel could benefit from expanding its dining options.

    cozy setup
    comfy beds
    cramped space

    The room was bigger than expected with a cozy setup for our family. I loved the super comfy beds and the great amenities like the washer-dryer, but the size felt a bit cramped overall. Would definitely stay here again!
