10/10 Excellent
"Convenient location with nearby konbini pharmacy restaurants and less than 10 minute walk from Kyoto Station. Very clean comfortable room and wonderful amenities. Comfortable bed and room was quiet to sleep at night. Loved the shower and tub combo - the tub was deep enough to soak after a long day. Excellent water pressure. Staff were friendly and helpful. Water dispenser on each floor by the elevator helped us stay hydrated. We didn’t use the laundry room but it was always busy with other guests when we passed by. Amenity bar was always well stocked in the lobby. Enjoyed the monthly craft activity making a bracelet. Really enjoyed the afternoon snack hour and evening social hour. AYCE matcha soft serve DIY parfait and a wide selection of tea during the afternoon hour was our favorite. We didn’t get a chance to try the breakfast buffet but hope to try it next time. We would stay at this hotel again if we visit the area again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"
