Great location and well appointed room. Service is at best average (Japan has had a major step-down in hospitality service qualities In general). And the hotel can definitely use a facelift.

The hotel itself is very nice and clean but our room was quite small. It hardly fits two beds. The bathroom sink is in the same space as the beds so it is a little odd. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The location is very convenient. Tons of restaurants nearby.

The staff are very friendly and approachable especially the front desk staff. The location of the hotel is very good. One thing i want to mention is the housekeeping. It is bad. The 1st time they changed the bedsheet, the side table was not put back nicely. The 2nd time they made the bed, they left a dirty cloth in my luggage. Everytime they made the room, they put my face cream next to the hand soap and made the bottle dirty & soapy.

This is a very nice property. It has a lot of foreign travelers. We met many people in a tour group from Britain where we are from the USA. I really enjoyed the breakfast atmosphere. It’s quite relaxing and they played classical music. The breakfast was excellent, except the omelette was not well cooked. I don’t know if it’s just the recipe because every omelette is cooked the same way with egg still liquidy. My booking has free upgrade when available and even though they did upgrade my room, they were trying to make me pay for the upgrade. Also, the upgraded room didn’t have the normal heated toilet seat with soft-close. So, I’m not sure if they gave us a room with a toilet that isn’t fully functional.

Hair all over the room which I didn’t see when checked in Also the bathroom really stank of damp and sewage I reported it they ask me to send photos to their email I told them I was going to review and make a complaint and they said sorry we can’t do anything I am not happy this was supposed to be a VIP pack

For the price I was definitely looking for a larger room. With even two suitcases and a crib, you need to get creative and say goodbye to every inch of floor space. Also, it’s pretty dated. But GREAT breakfast and very good staff.

This is an old fashioned hotel next to Kyoto station. They had a restaurant and we enjoyed the breakfast buffet. We had a problem with a suitcase that was sent. Next time we will insist both suitcases have individual tags. My suitcase was lost for a few days and only after begging did they get involved to help.

Near tokyo station that makes travel easy for city tour. A lot of options around hotek and excellent breakfast buffet - one of the best we have in our iver 20 yrs travel experience. Only issue we had was old TV set that has no modern options like Netflix, youtube.. We will use them again when we are back in town.
