Kenji-san provided exceptional service from start to finish. He greeted us and offered to store our bags as we arrived before the check-in time. When we returned he recognised us and the process to get our room was easy.
We were served by Kenji-san again on our check-out and asked about our stay. Absolutely impeccable.
I enjoyed the fitness room and having the water replenished every day. The use of IPad to control temperature, curtains, lighting and to call for hotel services was unique....

I checked in around 2pm and was warmly welcomed by two friendly and professional staff members. They went above and beyond to assist with arranging my airport transfer, which was greatly appreciated. The room was lovely, spotlessly clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is also in a fantastic location, making it easy to get around. A wonderful stay and I would happily return.

This hotel is amazing! Not only clean and quiet and very modern but perfectly positioned close to all of the metro / train stations and hundreds of dinings options. The main road is great and bustling but also take the time to drop back one or two streets and explore the more traditional stores and eateries, it’s like a different city!
I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto!
