Pros: This hotel is really well located for shopping in Kyoto - it's just inside the biggest of the city's shopping streets so there's always something to do and somewhere to go with lots of shrines nearby and a good public transport connection to the rest of surprisingly spread-out Kyoto. We had to arrive a day early due to a typhoon but the hotel accommodated us which we really appreciated and didn't make us change rooms or anything. The breakfast was also fantastic, a great variety of Western and Japanese foods to choose from, well worth it.

Cons: It's further from the train station, so if you're using it as a base to travel on around the area, then it might not be so ideal. But there is a bus so it's easy enough if you need to head there.

Pros: It's fine for a three star, but you are paying for five star which it doesn't live up to.
Cons: It's tricky one hostess was very helpful and another one yelled at us for canceling a cab, it was very strange. The beds are so hard, it was terrible. Also they don't have a bag room so the lobby is absolutely filled with bags because of all the tour groups. Also bar extremely overpriced. Overall it is extremely overpriced for what you get. Use that same amount and go stay in one of the traditional hotels in the cute part of town.

Pros: The rooms are very clean and extremely comfortable. The air mattress and pillow made for extremely good sleep! The best part was the concierge service. We stayed at this hotel during Typhoon Hagibis. We were there the day the storm hit Tokyo but absolutely had to get to Tokyo the next day. The concierge could not have been more helpful. She explored options including the Shinkansen but also contingencies such as car rental should the train not be running. We agreed to making a final decision in the morning and she was waiting for us then. Absolutely fantastic service!

Cons: The room was a non-smoking room but unfortunately felt like the opposite. We told reception and they sent a hotel representative upstairs to spray some air freshener in there. This made absolutely no difference. We left with smoke-smelling clothes and hair. Not impressed.

Cons: They are pretty strict with the 2pm check in. In all my stays, I have never been able to get in a room early. They are always nice about taking your bags, but it is kind of annoying that there is never any rooms ready when you get there at 1pm. But again, they are always nice about your bags and when you can check in, it is done quickly.

Cons: The building was U-shaped with only 1 elevator bay on one end while our room was on the other so it was a bit of a walk. What bothered us the most though was the semi-transparent bathroom door with the toilet facing that door. The bathroom walls were also not soundproof so you can clearly hear what's happening inside. We asked for extra blanket to lie on because the mattress was a little too firm, but the blanket they gave us was dusty.

Pros: Staff was incredibly friendly and we really appreciated that they had a luggage room for us to use as we weren't able to check into our Ryokan until later in the day! Location was great!
Cons: Rooms were rather small as were the beds. The rule to leave the key at the front desk when leaving the hotel held up getting in and out on occasion, but they did tell us not to worry about leaving it when we were just running next door to family Mart so perhaps they aren't so strict about it. I was a little frustrated to see that the rates dropped down by more than 30$ a night for the second half of our trip but I guess that happens, all in all I definitely think it was a value for the cost and the place was clean with great staff and a very short walk to transit and nightlife in Kyoto!
8,0 Excellent
Pros: one of the hotel staff spoke excellent english and was a great help to us.
Cons: The internet service is terrible. Despite a lower star rating, I would still expect better in a country like Japan.
6,7 Good
Pros: Bathroom is spacious, location is quite near to the station but not really to most of the sightseeing I am expecting. But overall is average
Cons: The property is actually not as new as the photos shown and I’m not really comfortable with the terms of room key has to kept by the front desk.
10,0 Excellent
Pros: Breakfast very good, lots of choice in western and local foods. Service very good. Location was excellent close to lots of interesting things within walking distance. Train service also very convenient.
