This is a good choice to have the convenience of a modern hotel in a vary traditional and historic Japanese setting. The hotel is a 15 minute walk from the two nearest metro stations, but you can take the walk through the Imperial Garden. The south stop offers direct service to Kinkauji Temple on the 204 and the north stop offers direct service to Gingakuji Temple on the 203. And the Imperial Palace is right across the street. Restaurant was very good. Wifi worked fine. Staff's language ability was limited.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
What I didn’t like was the bedding, which was very hard, the pillows, which were stiff, the lack of adequate air conditioning, and the entire key system, which was too complicated. The location was wonderful and the staff very helpful and polite. The grounds were beautiful, especially the restaurant which had views of a koi pond and gardens.

I was kind of astonished that for the amount of money spent per night, they would only allow us 1 coffee per person in our room. There was also no free coffee areas downstairs. Room was typical for Japanese standards.

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel was big and could appear luxurious but it wasn’t, the rooms were old and musty. Not the best place, it wasn’t horrible. It did its job. I think the worst part was how rude the male staff was there, we seemed to inconvenience them a lot, seemed annoyed and not welcoming at all. No amenities really available. The location is okay, 10 min from a subway station, 3 min from imperial palace but other than that, it was not what we hoped for. We will not return.
