The hotel offers immaculate and well-appointed rooms, but the beds are very uncomfortable with buckwheat pillows. It is conveniently located near the busy street, 7/11, and restaurants.

Staying at this Tokyo business hotel was a nice experience overall. The rooms, while clean and offering amenities like an electric toilet and nightly pj's, were a bit small which made it challenging to move around easily. The hotel is quiet, has a good price, but is starting to show some age and could benefit from a thorough cleaning.

My stay at this hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were spotless and had everything we needed, but the layout was a bit cramped. The service was a mix of cold and helpful, offering assistance with restaurant reservations. The location was convenient for accessing tourist sites and transportation, only slightly distant from the JR station. The dining options were acceptable, catering more to Asian tastes, and the facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to many attractions and shopping areas. The rooms are smaller than expected and had a lingering smoke smell that affected my chest, but being close to the spa was a plus for easy access. The service was very friendly and efficient, offering convenient amenities like dry cleaning and laundry. The location is good with plenty of dining options nearby and features like a zen garden and hot public baths. The dining experience provided many choices at affordable prices. However, the small room size and smoke odor were noticeable drawbacks.

I had a really pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spotless and well-equipped, but lacked closets, with hooks on the walls instead. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff going above and beyond to assist us, from airport pick-up to attentive care throughout our stay. The location was unbeatable, close to shopping areas, restaurants, and easy access to transportation. While the dining options were average, the Japanese breakfast was a delightful cultural experience. Overall, a great value for what you get.

The hotel rooms were a bit small for three adults with luggage but that's to be expected in downtown Kyoto. They were clean, modern, and relatively large for Japanese standards, complete with all the usual amenities you would expect. The service was very helpful and courteous, and they handled everything in a professional manner, which I appreciate. The location was pretty good, a bit off the center of action but just a short walk away, and with plenty of restaurants, shops, and subway stations nearby. The dining options were varied and of good quality, but a bit expensive at 1,300 yen per person per day compared to other hotels.
