Great access to the Marutamachi subway (literally next door!). The entrance was less upscale than expected, however once entered, have a mostly 4-star feel. We found it a bit on the darker side in both decor and natural lighting. Elevators were very small. However, professional and helpful staff. Room was VERY clean and presented a more traditional Japanese decor references (like a samurai art piece in a display case in our room). Great details! They included good quality complementary products like non-drying body wash, shampoo and conditioner. As well of incidentals that you may have forgotten like toothbrush, individually wrapped both cloths, etc. Had a nice coffee and tea station. Large room 2-twin beds room! Mini fridge. Comcast tv for watching Netflix, etc. We stayed 6 days! Very comfortable and quiet. We recommend this hotel based on location, room size, cleanliness, and helpful staff.

This is an overall great hotel. We liked the central location a lot, easy access to subway, many sites, but more importantly it was spotless! Excellent hot water and water pressure. Our double room was spacious and we had everything we needed. Service was top notch. The entire team was friendly and helpful and very prompt with any of our needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Great hotel, full of Japanese details in the room, very spacious, complementary mini bar was nice to have. Few hotel amenities and the restaurant breakfast menu is limited, other than that, it was fantastic and I would stay again. I wish the staff would offer the VIP perks.

The location is perfect, close enough to everything but far enough to not feel as busy. The staff is very accommodating. They do not have heat in each room but will supply a space heater if needed! The meals are worth paying extra.

Comfortable, cozy, and quiet
The staff was very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. Overall, I was very happy and am glad I stayed here. I was traveling by myself and I felt very safe. It was easy to hop on the subway from this location or take a taxi. I was just surprised that there was no air conditioning in my room. When they brought me to my room they mentioned the switch for the heat. I inquired about the a/c (especially since air conditioning is listed under amenities). He said no a/c, just heat. When I was surprised, he asked if I would like a fan brought in. I said yes and he brought it. With the fan on, I slept well. It was quiet and comfortable.

The hotel location is good, next to Marutamachi Station subway (Karasuma line from Kyoto station). Next to family mart. However, a little comment about the VIP credit of JPY1100, the front desk should explain more on how guests can utilise it. I have returned the credit without enjoying it.
