      “Hospitality in Kyoto”

      I decided to stay here because the reviews were quite good. We were greeted by a doorman at the entrance and the staff at the entrance carried our luggage to our room, which was very hospitable. The bathroom and toilet were separate, which was very nice. Also, the coffee service and room service were more than we expected. It made me want to use the hotel again. It was as expected.

      “Exceptional”

      Hotel staff were extremely helpful. Great location for getting to the subways and shops, and travelling by cab to Kyoto station or the Gion area worked out to be very reasonable if you have more than two people travelling.
