Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers big and comfortable rooms with full views of the castle. They are very clean and well-equipped, providing a view over the city towards the mountains. The service is suitably cheerful and helpful, especially during unexpected disruptions. The location is excellent, directly in front of the Kyoto Castle and close to various transportation options. Dining options are good, with a mix of Japanese and Western food, albeit some may find it pricey. Overall, a convenient choice with friendly service and great views.
My stay at the hotel was cozy and enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and bright, providing a nice atmosphere to relax in. The service was exceptional with friendly and helpful staff, and the location was convenient for exploring the nearby attractions. The dining experience was outstanding, offering a variety of choices to enjoy. However, the lack of nearby restaurants was a slight inconvenience. Overall, a great value for money stay.
The hotel offers fantastic rooms with three beds but lacks a view. The service is gracious and helpful, providing comprehensive travel and restaurant information. The location is excellent with convenient access to transportation. Dining options are varied and satisfying. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were tired and in need of renovation, but they were large and comfortable with a good-sized bathroom. The service was a bit lacking in enthusiasm at check-in, but the staff was friendly and very helpful during our stay. The location was fantastic, right across from the extraordinary Nijo Castle and with a helpful shuttle bus to Kyoto station every 15 minutes. The dining options were good, but a bit pricey for what was offered. Overall, a decent value for the money.
