"Excellent hotel, well located for tourists, has shuttle to near by subway station, food was great, near local authentic restaurants. Various tourist attractions are easily accessible using the shuttle and the subways."
"Onsen hotel in kyoto, the onsen and the massage chairs were fantastic. Staff spoke a small amount of English and were able to sort out most issues that we had. Rooms were extremely dark, but the bed and pillows were hard, it took some adjustments for my wife and I to get to sleep."
"The room was clean. Staff was friendly except in the breakfast area. Didn’t want the breakfast just a cup of tea and coffee but you couldn’t get it without paying for a full breakfast. Thankfully the subway station was close and we found a bakery and Starbucks. Laundry was good."
"The lobby and public areas are nice, clean and bright. Guests can get drinks like different kinds of tea, coffee or match drinks at the lounge which is nice. The room itself is very dark since there are not enough lights. Outside light is also limited since it’s facing another building very closely. No view at all for our room. Also there’s only recycle slippers which I am not comfortable with using.
One important thing is to be aware of your surroundings for pick pockets in the neighborhood. My husband went to Familymart near the hotel one night and found out his backpack zippers were all opened when he was back to the hotel. He recalled there were many Indians around crowding him at the time and realize why the cashier was looking at him in a weird way. The cashier didn’t say anything but my husband thinks the cashier saw something. Fortunately, nothing was stolen. So be aware even Japan used to be a safe place."
