The room layout was excellent and the facility/room are in great condition. We had excellent view of the Kyoto city and Kyoto tower from the room. The staff were very friendly and reminded us that it is going to rain when we are getting out in the afternoon and suggested us to take umbrella (which they provided). We had wonderful time staying at this facility.

I called to see if we could fit 4 in one room and was told no. So I booked another room. Upon seeing the room I had already booked it would have been easy to accommodate my family of 4. But instead your hotel made me book an other room. We will not be staying with you again.
