transportation hassle

The hotel is slightly removed from major transportation hubs, making trips to tourist spots a bit of a hassle, often requiring taxis instead of convenient public transport. Additionally, smoke detector lights in the room are excessively bright, and some ventilation can be quite loud, making it tough for sensitive sleepers. Finding nearby restaurants in the evening can be tricky, as many are small and often fully booked.

quiet atmosphere

sound insulation

taxi reliance

conversational noise

The Spa Suite featured lavish amenities like a wooden spa tub and a zero gravity massager, providing an extraordinary experience that made for a truly relaxing stay. The quiet atmosphere was a bonus, allowing for restful nights. However, the sound insulation was less than ideal, as conversations from neighboring rooms could be heard, which sometimes interrupted the serene vibe. Additionally, the location, while close to attractions, required a taxi ride for convenience.

The stay was fantastic for exploring the beautiful temples nearby, like Kiyomizu-dera and Sanjusangendo, which are just a pleasant walk away. The private onsen was a highlight for me, perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. The room was cozy, and I loved the luxurious bathroom amenities, especially the large tub.

audio insulation

No view from the room!!! The sound insulation could use improvement, as I overheard conversations from the next room. Also, the remote for the speakers was confusing, making it hard to enjoy my media properly!!!

private onsen

This was just a perfect match for a quick break in Kyoto with outstanding value. The private onsen was a lovely touch, and it was clean and well-maintained. Arriving early paid off as we got to enjoy the room right away, which was a nice surprise.

luxurious bath

complimentary snacks

poor sound insulation

slow service

awkward room layout

A hidden gem with beautifully presented, spacious rooms and a colossal bath that offers a luxurious soak. The complimentary drinks, snacks, and noodles in the fridge made it feel even more welcoming. The private onsen was a delightful addition, perfect for relaxation after exploring nearby attractions. However, the audio insulation between rooms was not ideal, and the wait for assistance at times could be frustrating. Also, the bed's placement made it slightly awkward to navigate around the room comfortably.

good but needs improvements

The room was spacious, allowing for comfortable movement. My favorite part was the luxurious bathroom, complete with high-quality amenities. I also appreciated the laundry room, which came in handy during my four-night stay. The oversized tub added a touch of opulence, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. However, I did notice the audio insulation was lacking. I could hear conversations from the neighboring rooms.

Audio insulation could be better.
