Was one of our favorite hotels while staying in Japan. Staff was great. Breakfast was high quality for the price. Room was clean, modern and spacious. The large tub and sauna made it a peaceful sanctuary to return to after running around Kyoto. Wished we’d stayed longer.

The front desk staff were very helpful. A few members of the staff spoke very good English, so it was easy to check in. The hotel is very nice, as was the room where I stayed. A lovely mix of modern and traditional. I only had two issues: the hotel was in an awkward location, and the duvets weren't very wide.
