The hotel was peaceful, and the rooms were a beautiful mix of western and japanese furniture/decor. The room was a generous size, which we appreciated. Breakfast options were plentiful. The fridge in the room needs attention; it needs to be adjusted to stand firmly. While the hotel was very well situated close to the station, the outlook was dull. We would recommend this hotel.

This hotel isn't a far walk from Kyoto Station which was very convenient. A good amount of food options nearby. The staff was very friendly with the breakfast buffet having a good amount of options. I wish there was a self-laundry site but they do offer laundry services.

No VIP Expedia benefit, could’ve booked a better hotel with points and it would’ve been free.

Great proximity to Kyoto station and great breakfast buffet. Hotel room itself felt very 3 star. There is a pool onsite but you have to pay extra to use it.

The hotel was clean, service was great and had lots of on site restaurants in the hotel. We tried French restaurant on top of the hotel and Teppanyaki, they were both beyond amazing. Waiters were very professional and welcoming. Conveniently located near Kyoto station as well.

Breakfast at 14th floor wasn't worth the dinning experience. Foods weren't so great. Staffs dididnt pay attentions. Too much chatting among staffs.

They were careless without luggage and caused a cracked which got worse by Yamato. Ive contacted them about it and they are no longer responding to my emails. Poor amenities. Decent sized room. They charge you to use the pool and the spa facilities are for men only. Would never stay again
