9.4/10 Exceptional! (171 reviews)

Checkin process was very long and my key didn’t work - they forgot our door was malfunctioning and I received a physical key after two trips up and down. No cleaning service, they leave all supplies by the elevator. Clean, close to many attractions, front staff friendly and knowledgeable. Pretty far from subway station if you have to bring a lot of luggage (recommend taking a Grab/taxi).

Great location between tourist sites but not in a touristy area. Good choices for neighborhood restaurants. It is ideal location and size for family to four. Six is possible but a little tight. Morning run to imperial palace gravel ground is a big plus.

#FoodieFinds in Japan includes dango , a sweet dessert that is mostly made of mochi so it's chewy. It's so good when it's warm and usually served with tea.

It was my afternoon snack when I visited Kifune Shrine. It is served right in the shrine so I heard people ringing bells and clapping while I enjoyed my snack.
