From the moment I stepped off the airport bus, it was a relief to see the hotel just a stone’s throw away. The proximity to these transport links allowed me to maximize my time exploring the city without the worry of long commutes or navigating complex transit routes. The ease of hopping on the metro for a quick jaunt to various neighborhoods, or catching a train for a day trip out of the city, truly made my experience at [Hotel Name] stand out. This hotel is a top recommendation for anyone who values convenience and accessibility.

We don’t often stay in ‘nice hotels’ so this was such a treat. The service is truly 5 stars. The hotel itself feels very luxurious through every touch. It was nice to have the swimming pool as being Summer and Aussies, we had missed being able to have a splash. Tattoos needed to be covered up, but it was open all day without reservations which was great compared to other hotels. Our view overlooked a Temple, the Kyoto Tower and some mountains. Room was spacious. Location good, close enough walk to Kyoto station. We didn’t dine onsite.

The best hotel I stayed in while in Japan. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The detailed design and finishes of the room were outstanding. The bathroom colour for instance was an unexpected yet VERY classy. The staff was friendly and super helpful in helping me get around. I loved the reception area. Also well appointed with a beautiful stream view. The apéritivo till 10 PM was an excellent touch (sake collection, snacks, tea and coffee).
