Everything is good. Staff are nice, property is new ish and created a zen kind of vibe. We picked the twin room that isn’t the smallest size and it faces the main road, which the glass window is not thick enough and we can hear the road noise and cars revs.

The hotel is a short walk from the Kyoto station. The property itself is elegant! Our room was spacious and beautiful. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. The window didn't have much of a view considering the hotel is in the city, but there was a small rock garden just outside that made up for it. The buffet breakfast offered both Western and traditional Japanese fare and was delicious. It was worth the extra cost. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Disliked: Amenities
This is not a 4 star hotel, more like a 2 star or a couple of steps above a hostel. Rooms are tiny and there’s no closet or wardrobe to put your clothes. No iron or ironing board either. Their breakfast was decent though and the location of the hotel is central to a lot of things.
