Pros: The hotel was right next to Kyoto station and they held our luggage for us before check-in and after check-out. I liked how breakfast was an individual meal instead of buffet due to the pandemic situation. The bed was comfortable, the room was classy and wifi worked great. There were some free coffee and bottle of water in the room. They can give you some take away coffee to your room after breakfast. I would stay there again if I were to visit Kyoto.

Pros: It’s in Kyoto station which was very convenient for sight seeing. Also once I got off the sheinkasen from Tokyo it was a short walk to put my luggage down and rest. The room is big, in fact one of the biggest rooms I have stayed in in Japan. Lots of restaurants and shops around for eating and shopping. The hotel has couple of restaurants. I enjoyed a few beers at the top floor restaurant on the 15th floor, which has great view over Kyoto.

Cons: I wish they had more options for children breakfast. Since I read news online these days, maybe provide us something else, such as online video service for free instead of giving us newspaper in the evening and morning.

Cons: When I was there the gym and swimming pool were closed. If you are in one of the lowered floors the view is pretty depressing. But if you get a room on the side facing the city (rather than the station) it’s quite lovely.

9.2 Excellent
Pros: Location of the property is fantastic only 2 mins walk from the train and bus station, reception and concierge staff were super friendly and just unbelievably helpful, the bed was really comfortable, clean rooms and a great selection for their breakfast buffet
Cons: The room sizes were a little small and the only other complaint I would have is that part way through our stay they changed from a breakfast buffet to a served breakfast due to issues around corona virus and while the choice of breakfast was still there the service was completely disappointing- often we would get coffee but no milk was brought with it by the time someone turned up with milk the coffee was cold, part of our breakfast would be served and we’d be waiting for the remaining breakfast to turn up so you couldn’t eat all the things you wanted to eat together. We were given vegetarian breakfast tickets, but that didn’t seem to mean anything to the waiting staff as every morning where breakfast was served rather than buffet style someone would bring a selection of meats to our table which we would have to send away. I completely understand that the issues around corona virus and the guidance from the Japanese government has thrown everyone - however there are some basic standards that the hotel should have considered training restaurant staff on.

6.7 Good
Pros: Very comfy beds and the staff were extremely helpful.
Cons: The only reason I've rated the comfort as "fair" is because it was excessively hot and therefore difficult to sleep. The air-conditioning, although being able to be turned down to 18 degrees was on heat mode throughout the entire hotel. Then, when it was off in your room, the air was extremely dry. Made the stay a little uncomfortable.

Pros: This hotel is more like small apartments. Room has a small kitchen and minimal kitchen supplies, a small area with a couch, bathroom and a bed area that has a sliding room divider. The rooms are modern and sleek but very small which is typical of Japan. Overall I was very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Staff spoke english which was very helpful upon check-in. The property is very close to a subway station although Kyoto involved a lot of bus commuting more than subway. The area around the property is nice and easy to navigate but its quiet and not necessarily a "touristy area". Overall enjoyed the stay in Kyoto
