My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms are spacious and offer nice views of the mountains, but they are a bit dated and below average. The service, while mostly accommodating and warm, had some hiccups like rushed housekeeping. The location is convenient for exploring Kyoto but may not be ideal for sightseeing. The dining options were delicious, but there could be waiting times during busy periods. Overall, the hotel offers value for money with its central location and tasty dining choices.

My stay at the hotel was truly amazing! The rooms were incredibly large, the largest I've experienced in Japan, with a separate entry, spacious bathroom with a separate shower room, and a comfortable bedroom with 2 double beds. It felt like a palace. The service was top-notch, with all staff being very friendly and accommodating. The location was absolutely perfect, close to a subway station and one of the largest shopping avenues. The dining experience was simply fantastic, with a huge and delicious selection of food. The facilities were outstanding and well-maintained. However, the dining was a bit expensive, and it would have been nice to have more English-speaking staff available.
