The hotel is old but historic. The rooms were ample and very comfortable. The staff was super nice and went out of our way to help us feel welcome. The location is perfect, very close to the temples and at a 5 minute taxi ride from the train station. Also walkable in half an hour or less. Breakfast was very good. I would have stayed one night longer to be honest.

The rooms were very large but needs a refresh with carpets and paint. Location was exceptional- walking to Toshogu shrine and the Shinkyo bridge. Had to walk up and down a huge hill to get to the hotel but the views were incredible. A bit far from the station and their shuttle was not reliable enough to count on to get to the station on an early timetable. Breakfast was classically served and delicious but the same every morning. There was no onsite onsen which would have been perfect given it is a historic hotel.
