I had a wonderful time at this hotel in Kyoto. The location was excellent, close to historic neighborhoods and temples, and the staff was helpful and kind. The rooms were spotless and spacious, although a slight redesign could make them even better. The dining experience was worth the money, but it's in a sister hotel not too far. Overall, a great place to stay with a few minor areas for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The rooms were huge, with kitchen facilities and laundry facilities, offering a lovely view over the river. They were perfect, and my only complaint is that my stay was far too short. The rooms are so clean and spacious, making it a truly comfortable experience.

The hotel offers a really nice Japanese style living room, complete with a low table and pillows, and also a big couch and high dining table, creating a spacious yet cozy atmosphere. However, some re-design of the space layout could make it perfect. The location is fantastic, nestled in a quiet area along the river but still close to attractions and great restaurants.

Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience. The peaceful and silent nights near the Kamogawa river and tourist attractions were perfect. The room had a nice Japanese style living room but lacked furniture, with a minor issue with the washing machine. Service was efficient and friendly, offering traditional Japanese sleeping arrangements. The location could not have been better, with easy access to transportation and attractions.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were big and comfy with a nice river view, and the cool tea room added a special touch to the experience. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff and even a local mobile phone provided for calls and internet access. The location was superb, close to restaurants and within walking distance of historic neighborhoods and temples. The only drawback was the dining experience, which was just okay, but there are great dining options nearby.
