I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were big and very clean with comfortable beds and pillows, which was fantastic. However, the room was tiny and very cold with a constant draught, even with the AC off, which was not ideal. The location was perfect for exploring Kyoto, conveniently situated in the shopping district surrounded by restaurants and close to major attractions like the Gion district and the Imperial Palace. On the downside, the dining option at the hotel was not worth the extra charge, although the food was delicious with a wide range to choose from. The facilities were adequate, and the attached dining area had fresh juice shots available. The value for money was up for debate, as the experience had its ups and downs.

The hotel offers a great location for exploring Kyoto with its proximity to Nishiki Market and the old parts of the city. The rooms vary in size and comfort, and the dining experience leaves something to be desired. The centralized location makes it perfect for sightseeing, but larger rooms are recommended for a more enjoyable stay.

The rooms offered plenty of space and were beautifully clean, but unfortunately, the constant cold draught made it a bit uncomfortable. The service was fantastic, and the location couldn't have been more perfect for exploring the city. The dining options were delicious, but the extra charge didn't seem worth it.
